Bibury Utility Knife, Upgraded Version Heavy Duty Box Cutter, Pocket Carpet knife with 10 Replaceable SK5 Stainless Steel Blades, Belt Clip, Easy Release Button, Quick Change and Safety Lock-Black

カッコ良く切れ味サイコー

Das Messer ist in natura noch klobiger und eckiger als es das Produktfoto vermittelt, weshalb man es schlecht in eine Hosen- oder Jackentasche stecken kann. Das Herausfriemeln ist sogar noch unbequemer. Die mitgelieferten Klingen verdienen diese Bezeichnung kaum, da sie äußerst schnell stumpf geworden sind, und das beim Schneiden von dünnem Karton. Ich würde dieses Messer nicht wieder kaufen.

Cumple el propósito, lo único que no me agrado es que es muy pesada.

There are dozens of folding utility knives on the market, but this one is probably the best available. The handle is exceptionally well designed and made, with thick aluminum slabs over a steel frame. The mechanism that locks the blade holder in the handle (open or closed) is a button lock and extremely well executed - this is probably the most difficult lock to execute well on a folding knife. The pivot bushings appear to be thick nylon or similar material, so there's no metal-metal bearing area. The blade lock is all metal (many are plastic) and the blades are very easily removed and reinstalled because the holder is quite well made. The blade holder is made of layered stainless steel and very well finished, with smooth edges The lanyard loop is thick and finished quite well. When open, the knife is comfortable and absolutely solid. Overall, I'm impressed with the quality design and superb finishing of an inexpensive product. Just bought another one. The blades supplied with any utility knife are not as important as many reviewers think. They're all sharp and all are disposable, so ignore anything you read about the blades supplied with this knife or any other. You'll be buying blades in bulk for years, and none last very long; unless you buy very expensive stainless blades or blades fully coated with TiN, they'll all rust (high-carbon blades will rust when the oil coating wears away). The blade supplied with this knife at least have the metal composition noted, which is rare, and notable (SK5 is a quality knife steel). When looking for utility knife blades, consider the Lenox blades with TiN edges, the new Fiskars blades (hard to find but supposed to hold an edge for a long time), or the serrated blades available from Home Depot (awesome cutting power). Buy them in 50-blade packs with a dispenser. When the blade edge dulls, turn it around, use the other side, and when that edge dulls, just toss it out and insert a new one.

I'm sure that the lowly box cutter gained a lot of recognition after 9/11. (If someone threatened me with a Box Cutter I would just laugh.) The classic Box Cutter was overdue for some disruptive design--you know, that fat handled thing from Stanley where you slide the blade forward, held together by a single screw of questionable value. After Home Depot came out with their Husky folding Utility Knife, there's a lot of new models on the market. It's very convenient to have a folding knife in your pocket, and millions of guys carry one, notably Spyderco. But after losing a couple of those to our friends at the TSA, I decided I really didn't need a very expensive, exotic alloy Japanese blade to open packages and do the odd job. This thing easily handles 95% of my cutting needs, and even if I lost it at this price it would be no great loss. Plus of course you never have to sharpen a blade, just throw it away (or maybe reverse it) snap in a new one and you're good to go. I also like using the SK5 Serrated blades which really cut well and last longer. This cutter has good heft and is fairly comfortable, but if you are cutting something substantial like carpet or linoleum, you might want something bigger and stronger. On a side note, I bought a few different versions of this type of knife to compare, and I noticed they are very similar, so I guess there's some outfit in China that will produce these for you and change the color and a few details so you can call it your own. Anyway, Take that Spyderco! I refuse to pay your ridiculous prices for knives that pretty much all look alike!
