CATSafety Utility Knife Box Cutter Self-Retracting, Squeeze Handle to Extend, Release to Retract, Lock Open w/Switch, Ergo Handle w/ 3 Safety-Tip Blades That Store Inside - 240071

You just cant go wrong with this!! I purchased it as I was tied of trying to deal with the older model I had with locking blade. My wife was wary on the `retractable' but once I put this in her hand she was sold. The action is smooth, the lock works if you need to keep the blade out, and it's way safer than just having an open box cutter laying around while you're working. I would say I'd prefer a pointy blade on this (there seems to be a touch of rounding on the tip) but that is so minimal an issue that it doesn't even cost a star.If you're looking at this review, just stop already and go ahead and order this. You won't be disappointed.

this knife takes standard blades that you can get anywhere. it is built solidly. automatically retracts when you let go of the handle or you can also lock the blade. no tools required to change the blade. it's the best knife I've used. i only wish there were some way to hook it to a lanyard or chain

If I could give this box cutter 10 stars, I would. As a mom, I love the safety features. That was a big selling point for me. The blade cuts things effortlessly.

I'm a homeowner. I don't work in a trade. There are two tools I need so often that I carry them with me at all times: a tape measure, and this knife.I used to use a standard issue utility knife with a long hollow handle made in two parts that screw together. It worked fine until I realized that the long handle was exerting so much pressure on the interior of my pocket that it was wearing holes in my pants. I replaced it with a knife much like this one, which I loved until the time I reached into my pocket and felt... blades. The pocket's fabric had depressed the button that opened the knife's spare blade holder and spilled the blades into my pocket. I was lucky; no injuries. But at that moment the knife became history.This one is designed so that I need a prying tool to open the blade carrier. No way it's going to open in my pocket. Also it's easy to pull the knife out, turn it right side up and front forward, and extend the blade with one hand.Complaints? After a few weeks of carrying it around, I find that the black paint is wearing off in spots. I don't really care, it's not a fashion accessory. I wish there were intermediate settings between "fully retracted" and "fully extended." When I open boxes I have to be careful to hold the knife at a shallow angle so I won't slice through the contents. I'm willing to live with those things to keep my pants and my fingers safe.

Thought it would be a knockoff but it's original..!

Pretty cool snappy retractable action. Solid safety lock. This is a good tool.

good price, seems durable and nice size.

I initially bought this and when I tried it out, there was a little resistance when pushing in the lever to pop out the blade. I noticed the front wasn’t aligned and kept sticking when retracting back in the slot. I knew it was a manufacturing defect so I returned it. The second one worked like it was supposed to. It is heavy enough to make it feel durable. Comes with extra blades but I don’t care for the rounded safety blades that’s included, but obviously it is a safety utility knife so no big deal. I bought my own blades and replaced it.Uses the blades with 2 slots. Stores extra blades inside. Durable, easy to use, safe for work. Easy to change out blades. I’d buy again
