Leave this one in the store.
This knife has nothing a professional, like myself, would use. I tried on some drywall and the self retracting blade was a hinder, tried on some wire, same issue....this knife might be a homeowner model, unfortunately not made for me. Gave it to my neighbor and older gentlemen who putters around his garage..

Great quality!
Very easy to slide the blade out, dropped it many times off a lift and no damage. Had one for 2 years now!

Simple & Easy Design
I got this a couple of months ago to use around the house. We recently moved into a new home so it’s been great to have lying around to tear down boxes. The blade that comes with it has a rounded end, and the blade self-retracts, which I like because I don’t have to worry about leaving it sitting within reach of kids or pets. It’s simple, effective, and priced well for ...

Love the retractile blace
This utility knife features a retractable blade, so when you are dont holding the blade out and cutting it pulls back into the housing. Great feature. The one thing that I was not thrilled with was the ends of the blade were rounded -- but you can use any blade with it.

The best self retracting knife
This knife doesn’t feel cheap or sketchy like most safety utility knives I’ve used. The spring retracts quick and smooth, the body is very solid, feels great in your hand, fits great in your pocket. If you’re work requires you to use a self retracting knife you can’t find a better one than this.

Safe Utility Knife
I was offered this knife to review a few weeks ago and I feel like it lives up to its design purpose which is “Safety Utility Knife”. I appreciated the quality of the spring retracting mechanism; never had an issue with it sticking open. It’s built just as well as Stanley’s other utility knives, no flashy, unnecessary details or accessories. Good construction and durabl...

Retractable blade is great safety
This is great for safety but can be difficult for long periods of prolonged use. Thumb gets tired.

Incredibly sturdy construction!
This utility knife is fantastic. It is so well built. I bought this knife after my old Stanley box cutter disappeared in my garage. I’d had it for at least a decade and I’m 100% certain that it will last for years, too. There’s a little space to store new blades inside the body of this knife, and how that I have kids, the fact that the blade automatically retracts is go...

Very handy utility knife
I found the self retracting feature quite handy. It helps avoid a possible accident in a tool box or drawer.

Perfect Box Cutter
This is my go to box cutter to open all the shipping boxes I receive weekly. It had a good sturdy feel, self-retracting for safety and the internal storage for extra blades is a nice feature!

Dependable and hard to lose!
I have had this product throughtout the 5 years of my apprenticeship and it has been as dependable as I have needed it to be. Also as the title implies the color makes it very difficult to lose. The blade changeout is as easy as can be.

Definitely safe
Not really what I was expecting. You have to keep your thumb on the blade refractor to keep the blade out, otherwise it will retract. This is part of the safety mechanism. I guess I’m not used to it. It also comes with one round point blade which makes it shorter. Over all it’s a good quality knife.

Love the idea of a safety razor
Buying this was the smartest thing I’ve ever done. I find myself using a utility knife all the time regardless of what project I’m working on. This self retractable knife gives me peace of mind knowing I’m not going to accidentally injure myself when working quickly.

Sturdy tool, safe, seems built to last
This is a great utility knife, I like how sturdy it feels, and the way that the blade is retracted for safety is excellent because you don't have to remind to keep putting caps on it to avoid an accident. The knife looks like it was built to last. Excellent purchase

Super safe!
Easily the safest knife I have ever used with the retracting blade and improved grip compared to other utility knives.
With that said, it’s sometimes annoying to have to hold it open.
Would be very cool to see a quick change option with this

Great Feature
This utility knife has the feature of a retracting blade after using it. It cuts with ease and keeps you safe by closing the blade to prevent accidents. A welcome addition to my tools.

Well Built Utility Knife
Finding a quality and durable utility knife can be a challenge. It came with a blade that was easy to install and has remained sharp after a couple of uses. It's also comfortable in the hand when using it over and over.
