GIVE ME THE OLFA KNIFE
3 years ago
I'm always using retractable knives at home and work, of various quality, and nothing beats olfa knives. Most reliable, sharpest, longest lasting blades. Worth making the investment on something other than a cheap, disposable knife. The ratcheting dial is easy to use, and I've never had an issue with the blade moving when I didnt want it to. Get the black blades as well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Surprised in the difference!
6 years ago
I was surprised on how the improvements made it so that instead of just being a utility for me to use, it is now a necessity for me to have on my person at all times. It has replaced my pocket knife (that was SUBSTANTIALLY more expensive). In case there is any doubt, I am extremely impressed by this knife!
ProsAttractive, Durable, practical
Yes, I recommend this product.

Couldn’t do my job without it
3 years ago
I’ve bought many. Nature of my work results in their destruction, but constant use and heavy abuse... no other snap off knife stands a chance. Most used item in my pouch by a mile. Currently have four in different states of abuse and one unopened. Will probably own 1000 more in my life; but only this one.
Yes, I recommend this product.

New favorite knife

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly love this knife. I used to have an old style plain jane olfa knife. And then I bought this one, the hook on the end is ridiculously handy to have. I use it every day for something. Whether it's removing a light cover, prying something over, Screwing in a loose nut, ect... #sweepstakes
ProsDurable, Grippy, Handy hook
ConsBlades snap too easily
Yes, I recommend this product.

Handy I'm lots of situations
3 years ago
I use this with the hook blades as a secondary specialty back up to my 25mm standard blade handle. It fits comfortably in the hand and is small enough to always have on you with no problems. The metal piece on the end is great for lots of odd tasks like prying, scraping and flat head screws.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great knife
3 years ago
This knife is one of the best i’ve used. The shape is comfortable to grip, and the pry tool on the back has been very useful for a number of things such as opening cans of wood stain etc. I have one in every room of the house and have gifted a few ri family members. Highly recommend

Great All Purpose Knife!
3 years ago
I bought this knife when I started Carpentry 4 years ago and still use the same one to those day. Very durable and the chrome end is fantastic for unscrewing light switch covers and acts great as a little pry tool when needed. Very little damage other than cosmetic. Very impressed.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great knife
3 years ago
I'm in water and sewer construction, this knife is a must because of its great feature as a dual purpose tool. It's razor sharp blade and it's rounded metal piece is great for cleaning out rubbers on new or old water/sewer pipes. Highly recommended for anyone in this field.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Quality you can feel!
6 years ago
I received a free Olfa 18mm utility knife from a Facebook ad. Upon receiving and inspecting the knife a person can tell just from holding it that it is a quality made product. Olfa has been around for years and has a name to live up to and it does! Keep up the good work!
ProsAttractive, Durable, Easy To Clean, Extremely sharp blade

Works in a pinch
3 years ago
Bought this as a replacement to my LA-X 18mm and didn’t realize it was the Rachel crank. Thought nothing of it but after having the slider for so long I can’t stand the Rachet crank. If I realized this I would’ve never opened the package and returned it immediately.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The greatest of knifes for the greatest of people
5 years ago
I use this knife for everything, if I need a pick or a pry it's always in my thigh pocket. I have broken one pick clean off and another worn down to a nub but keep buying this knife in the 18 and 25 mm because the pick is just as handy as it it looks.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Awesome knife
5 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this knife for a variety of things both at home and for work. Very sharp yet safe... comfortable grip.... the ratchet locking blade allows me to adjust the cutting depth. Blades are easy to change and seem to last longer. Great knife to have.
ProsAttractive, Durable

Gimmicked knife, I still like the classic.
6 years ago
It's an Olfa. It's cuts just like the classic Olfa we've all used for years. The hook on the back is meant to be a feature, but I find more than not it's getting hung up in my tool belt, and out of frustration, I'm reaching for me classic.
ProsIt cuts like you'd expect an Olfa would, It's yellow
ConsFlimsy, The hook on the back is a gimmick; gets hung up
No, I do not recommend this product.

My Favourite

Best utility knife so far!
3 years ago
Not all utility knives are made the same. I've owned several cheap ones over the years and always got fed up using them. I decided to spend more to get this Olfa knife and it does not disappoint. It's sharp, ergonomic, and easy to use!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Long lasting rugged multi tool
3 years ago
I’ve been using this knife for more than 15 years, when I finally lose one I buy another. The metal on the back works as a screw driver, mini pry bar and works prefect for that last push of the screen cord. This is never lets me down.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Only knife for your belt
3 years ago
This knife never leaves my side. Coupled with the black blades it can tackle any material I put in front of it. The tip on the end has saved me a run back to the toolbox on multiple occasions. Hands down only knife for your belt

Great knife
3 years ago
Have a number of these knives, keep one in every tool box and bag. Great to always have a good grip and I love having the pick on the end, so many uses. It’s like having a screwdriver, scraper, pry bar, etc… always with you.

Metal pry bar is excellent
3 years ago
The blade part is great of course, and locks securely. The pry bar is what makes this knife shine however. Soooo many uses! The soft rubbery grip makes the knife less likely to slide out of my pocket too. Love this product.

Intuitive and easy to operate
3 years ago
A very simple design, you know right away how the locking mechanism works and what pressure you need to apply to lock it. Another great thing is a lightweight body that also feels like a great quality, 2 in 1. Recommended!

Feels good

I ended up using this to cut leather (I am a part time leather worker). The blade stayed sharp longer than the standard blade but seemed more prone to chipping. I love the feel of this knife in the hand.

Very versatile

In everyone of my tool boxes I have one of these knives. The shape of the knife is extremely comfortable, the blades are very durable, and the metal fin on the bottom of the knife always comes in handy.
