This is a great utility knife! Olfa is Quality!
6 years ago
Utility knives are just that: I use my Olfa 18MM with Auto-Lock slide all the time. I especially like it on cutting fiberglass strapping and shipping tape. The design is fantastic and I really like the weight. My Olfa doesn't fly out of my hands: it stays put!
ProsAttractive, Durable, Easy To Clean
ConsI found no Cons at all.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great knife!
7 years ago
I never realized the benefit of owning a quality utility knife. The Olfa is well built and feels comfortable in the hand. The action is smooth and keeps the blade locked in place. I wouldn't mind a belt clip option, but it's great the way it is. Thank Olfa!

Very Sharp a utility knife replacement!
7 years ago
Works very well for daily use. You need to get back up blades so you never run out. At first I did not do that and the waiting was a pain. Because you get adjusted to the lighter weight and to go to a back to a standard utility knife it throwes you all off
ProsDurable, Easy To Clean, Very very Sharp!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great, versatile tool
6 years ago
Great tool. Can be used for things such as simply cutting open boxes, to cutting screens and drywall. The added end tool comes in handy for prying things open such as paint cans etc. Blade is well designed and thought out, not to mention extremely sharp.

Not bad
3 years ago
Not a bad knife, have used it for many projects around the house/shop, bought it because I could not find a roll lock, and needed the utility tool at the end, but be careful using this with lots of pressure it will slip and potentially cause harm.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Not your average breakaway blade knife

This isn't your average flimsy breakaway style knife, this knife is durable and feels great in the hand. Comfortable rubberized grip. Easy blade change out for when the time comes to refill. The blade itself is very sharp and does not dull easily.

This knife is super sharp and comfortable. Pictures don’t do justice on how strong and thick the blades are. Love the knife I’ve picked up a few of them. This company also has great customer relations that’s another reason why I support them.

Another quality cutting tool from OLFA

As a tradesman, having a quality knife is key. OLFA delivers time and time again, and this one is no exception to that rule. Comfort, durability, and ease of use all come standard, I highly doubt this will be the last OLFA blade in my bag.

Amazing utility knife!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This utility knife is AMAZING! I keep it in my apron and have a ton of uses for it. I thought the pick would be gimicky, but definitely super useful to have. I would buy this knife 10/10 times, even have purchased extras. #sweepstakes

Best Snap Blade ever

I mainly use it to recycle cardboard boxes so they fit in the curbside pickup container. It's also great for opening boxes and heavy duty plastic containers. Blade seems to stay sharper longer than the standard hardware store blade.

That's the one!
3 years ago
Been using this specific model for years. It's perfect. The locking mechanism is just enough. Blade comes out quick. The other utility end works for prying, screwing, scraping and so on. If you got one to acquire, that's the one.

Great retractable sliding mechanism

I frequently used Olfa L and the upgrade retractable action is worth it. I'm not necessarily fond of the new grip since it attract tissue dirt in pants pockets. Now if model L can have the same sliding mechanism :)

I keep this knife in my go to toolbox. I use it for everything from trimming drywall to scraping paint. It’s quick easy and stable. I like that I don’t have to lock it and it stays in position easily
