Many of you may be familiar with this type of knife, but for those who aren't, this takes a standard utility knife blade available in most diy shops, supermarkets, pound shops, Amazon, etc.
£3.99 is a bargain for this!

Beware those cheap blades. If you are doing lots of cutting - like vinyling a room etc I found those cheap blades snap and break at a rate of about 2-3 blades per 1 stanley one.

How is this any better than an ordinary Stanley knife?
...Which is more expensive not as comfortable to use and rather bulky. These are much slimmer which is a huge bonus when you need to carry and use for 12 hours a working day.

I have a different but similar one. It is far more comfortable to hold than a regular Stanley one, and also the blade doesn't get stuck when trying to get the blade in and out like Stanley ones can.

54 reviews and not a bad one.

Note that my review comes from refititng my whole house and going through multiple knives and blades! Definitely good value and definitely won't be a problem for most people, just a bit naff at the heavy duty stuff compared to my proper stanley blades - which are much more expensive :P

Maplins do THIS ONE for £4.50 with 11 blades and 5 year warranty
Yeah, they're both fruit, but they're not quite the same thing.

I've one of these that I picked up while waiting for reserved items a while ago. One of the best purchases ever. Gets used almost every day, and at least once a week for sure. Highly recommended!

Not sure how it compares to this one.
