X-Acto Precision Utility Knife Metal Silver 9.0 inches Aluminum Handle Z-Series #1 Includes Safety Cap

X-Acto is a great brand so happy with utility knife.

Sharp, good weight and grip to it, emphasis on sharp. The cap was hard for me to take off and it went right into my thumb when I pulled off the cap.. and the blade was so sharp that it healed great and there wasn't much skin damage lol. Even the scar is faint and this wasn't that long ago. So rest assured, this is a sharp and effective blade.

Update: Amazon Folks sent me a generic link on how to post a video review which was not helpful at all. I resized the video to 400x225 from 1080p HD and I am hoping that Amazon will not mess this up too much in the video conversion process. ------------- Update: The video quality here really is blocky and terrible even though I uploaded a 1080p crystal clear video. Contacted Amazon support to see what is going on ------------ Original review This is a great X-acto knife. Actually, this is my second X-acto knife. The previous one had the problem where the blade would loosen over time with just regular handling. This one, the blade does not tend to do that, so quite happy with it. The knife is plenty sharp so it can cut mostly anything that I intend to cut with it i.e. cardboard, plastic, paper etc. If I have to apply a ton of pressure, I would get a home-depot style cutting knife. I prefer to use the x-acto for precise cutting. The only con with pretty much all of the x-acto knives is that their caps tend to slide off easily. I like to carry my cutting knives in my pocket when I am working on a project - since I tend to misplace them all the time, so you can see that cap sliding off is fairly off-putting. Apart from that, it is a great knife. See my video review for its quality.

The quality of the handle and the blades are absolutely the best I've ever tried. The blades are super sharp and hard enough. The handle looks awesome and dense. The knife alone is the best precision knife I can name. But when it is not just knife alone it is a bit different. The knife came with a cap with it, and it is not the best cap. To be honest I've tried other precision knives with caps and those are terrible too. There isn't any trouble with how tight and protective not even the quality of it. But the design of the cap is not smart enough. The golden part of the handle where the grip patterns are is where the cap would apply the force on to keep itself tight. There is an issue with this design, that the plastic of the cap would worn out on it. After pushing the cap on tightly, the plastic would grind out as dusk staying on the handle. That wouldn't make the cap endurable or pleasant to use. Overall, the knife is a great knife, only the cap is the trouble with it.

Works as expected - quite sharp and cuts easily. The reason I took one star off is because the caps on these loosen over time. They've never left the desk I use them at, I've never dropped it before - yet 4 months later the cap isn't as tight as it was on the first day and now falls off. This is the second one I bought. The first one's cap did the same thing after a few months as well.

Exactly what I was looking for. The blade is very sharp and is the same quality as when I first used these knives forever ago.

i initially got this to help me with a home project (installing window film for privacy), but it has been used countless of times since then. it's ye old reliable! can't go wrong with it it. worth every penny. i haven't had to sharpen it yet, and i've used it a lot so good durability on the blade.

Best of the best. Stable blade. Feels balanced in my hand.

Top Ware, guter Preis, schnell geliefert - empfehlenswert!

Overall the product is of good quality and the blade was sharp and paper cutting experience was quite smooth. With in one week of use blade's sharpness was lowered though one still can use for straight line cuts. With the price range the pen is of high quality but expected longer life span. The delivery of knife took almost 20 days which is very strange.

Excellent product

vu le prix je ne m'attendais pas a recevoir un super outil de découpe,mais après essai sur divers matériaux on a une bonne coupe précise ,le tranchant est parfait avec une bonne tenue en main et la lame n'est pas trop souple ce qui est appréciable pour certains matériaux . Pour les coupes incurvées rien a voir avec les coupes au cutter mon seul regret, je n'ai pas pris des lames en plus par prudence et je le regrette car il faut compter plus 15 jours pour la livraison en conclusion je suis content de mon achat reste a voir si dans le temps on trouveras toujours des lames de cette marque ( pour info le couteau est livrer avec 1 seule lame )

Coltello ideale per il modellismo con lame rinforzate con zirconium e spessore di metallo meno flessibile per evitare eventuali rotture.Un peccato è che nel set non è incluso una lama di riserva.
