IRWIN Utility Knife, Fixed Blade (2081101), gray

This is a nor-retractable knife. If it's on the bench there's no need for a sheath, but to carry it handily you will need a sheath - I make mine.The reasons for using a non-retractible knife are:1) the blade is more firmly fixed than a retractable blade and will not wiggle as much, nor accidentally retract.2) pull it out of the sheath and it's ready to do its job. Granted this only saves a few seconds - but after a series of cuts time adds up, your thumb is spared repetitive stress and your pocket isn't worn out.This knife holds the blade incredibly firmly - zero wiggle play in the blade for reliable cuts.Truly impressive in that feature.Irwin comes up with some novel ideas for improving blades.My knife came with snap-off points. A single blade gives you 4 points/edges.This knife uses a phillips/flat head screw to keep its shells together, so the 4-in-one blades keep you from having to pull out the screwdriver (or dime) as often or load up the blade reservoir.The screw has a retainer so it won't fall out and get lost while changing blades- nice.The blade reservoir uses a clip to hold the blades. Not the best feature.I'm not sure what the maximum capacity is for spare blades, but 3 seems comfortable.The grip is good - no tacky rubber parts to fall apart, though I'd like a slightly bigger knife to fit my hand better.The blade storage is adequateBlade change is old fashioned (no toolless quick change)Retaining screw won't get lost.A great little knife.

GOOD BRAND AND VALUE

Awesome Drywall blade. I believe this is the best design for Cutting everyday. very lightweight and comfortable

This knife was for a specific project. It does the job, but I had to Google how to find the blade (it's inside) it's not retractable so PLEASE BE CAREFUL!! This thing is SHARP!!
