5.0 out of 5 stars It does the job
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024
Works nicely. Easy to grip. Feels a bit on the heavy side. Comes with a black soft belt case. You have to push the button to open the blade and again to close the blade. It's a little difficult to do it one handed, at least for me. It's bigger than I thought it would be and it doesn't fold up as small. As you can see the back of the blade sticks out making it bulky.
It cuts well and it's easy to change the actual blade of the knife. Seems durable, but I use it in an office occasionally, so not exactly putting it through any rigorous testing.

I had a move and bought this to break down all my boxes. It’s very sturdy, works well, has a good safety lock, pouch and even looks very nice!

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid and easy to use

Feels very well-made and stable. The ease of changing the blade with the push of a button is great. I appreciate having the clip to hold on a pair of pants when busy and walking around.

4.0 out of 5 stars good quality, be careful
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2023
this box cutter is really good quality and has a nice weight to it, it's also very easy to use and fold away. i wish the blade tucked all the way back into the base (kind of like a pocket knife) when closed but it slightly sticks out due to the shape of the blade. i also found that my blade was slightly loose when i received it so definitely make sure it's stuck all the way into the base and is stable and not wobbly before use so that it doesn't slip out or cause accidents.

5.0 out of 5 stars this thing is much more than a box knife
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024
I looked at this a couple of times and passed it off when it claims its made of aluminum, Aluminum is lite but not up to rough use in tools. I ended up buying one on chance when wifey says, " If you don't like it you can return it". Bingo The first thing I noticed was how heavy it was, although the colored handle is aluminum, the rest of the knife is steel so it is really described wrong. I'm thinking 400 series Stainless steel because it is a weak magnetic. At ant rate this thing is really built for something more than just opening boxes. I'm doing window tint and it works great trimming the film.
