I bought this knife for cutting pasted wallpaper. I need the cuts to be perfect and that depends on having a sharp blade. The blade in this device I’d thinner than those found in most shops on the high street and extremely sharp. For every cut I make with wallpaper I expose a new section of blade and the result is exactly what I need.The knife and BLACK blade pack together is expensive but when your cutting expensive wallpaper you don’t want any torn edges. With this knife I have eliminated that problem.Make sure if you buy a blade pack it is the 18mm size. When i bought the knife Amazon showed an offer including the blade pack which I selected, and later discovered the blades were 12.5mm and of no use.

Pretty large but fits in the hand very well. The auto-locking button holds the blade in place firmly and generally stays out of the way when cutting. Nothing to assist with snapping the segments of blade off, however the original black olfa blade that came with it was easy to snap by hand. The tin opening attachment on the back end is rigid and good for light prying tasks.

Used these for years at work - the Olfa brand is quality and with the ultra sharp blades it really is a useful and reliable workhorse. Always used the thumbwheel version so was a little hesitant with this push latch but it is more secure than you would imagine - not sure about the lever on the end as this removes some of the ergonomic properties of the original.

Great knife, I'm a aircraft engineer and sometime need to cut heavy duty things and the black blade edition is perfect for this. The shape on the knife is comfortable and the pick on the other end is an excellent additional tool. Really good value for money and spare blades are reasonable price too

Bought this together with LBB-10B blades - phew! Is it sharp? Best snap-off knife I've ever owned, and bought specifically for wallpapering - no more ragged edges or fumbling to find or labouring to cut; this is a truly great product, and should be in everyone's kit.

A very nice DIY/Craft knife.However, whilst I was using it, on occasion, the blade would slide back into the handle. Also, I think that a more positive stop at the blade changing end may stop the blade from sliding too far out.It could of course just be me?

Bought and used for trimming wallpaper. Has a nice grip and blades last far longer than cheaper craft blades. The hook shaped end is ideal for scoring paper when needing to use scissors to trim. More expensive than other craft knives but well worth it.

This made decorating my living room much easier and the knife is sharp enough to not rip the wallpaper when cutting edges. I did find that it did blunt fairly quickly so it was very useful to be able to snip off each time to refresh the blade.

Well made, easy to grip with a positive blade retraction mechanism. The box cutting extension at the back is useful, but not sharp enough to be hazardous. If only this knife were marginally heftier, it would feel better in the hand.

I own quite a few Olfa rotary cutters for my quilting hobby but sometimes a straight cutter is needed for card and paper. I bought this based on my experience with my rotary cutters and was not disappointed.

Does what it should.Quite sturdy and has a firm click into positionBlades are super sharp.Used it for cutting in wallpaper and as long as you only do a couple of cuts per snap off it cuts with no snagging

Fantastic knife super sharp definitely the best iv ever used and sharp enough for even when I’m wallpapering and trimming the edges of pasted paper without dragging and tearing it!! Very impressed!!

Seems really good quality and feels really nice in the hand, but unfortunately I’m left handed so none of these types of knives are comfortable in the hand for me as the knob digs into my palm

Really sturdy knife with metal mechanism for holding/retracting the blade - far better than those cheap, all-plastic versions that always break. Recommended.

Fab stanley knife. Really sharp. Fits perfect in my hand, we have three of these now. Wouldn't go back to any other brand.
