    A BOX CUTTER - is a BOX CUTTER - right? WRONG! these are the BEST box cutters that I ever owned I purchased 2 on the DAILY DEAL (I wish I purchased more) they are BIG and fit in your hand nicely are loaded with SAFETY features (retractable blade - lock closer) and have a BELT CLIP which is a nice added feature all in all - this box cutter stands alone from any that I have owned in the past

    Bought this knife as a stocking stuffer for myself I've always bought Stanley knives from Home Depot but it seems the ones that have the quick release blade feature seem to wear out quickly and the blade sometimes would release without hitting the button this knife seems like it will last longer just feels sturdier

    Unexpectedly found this knife in Best Buy. I needed a new knife and this is exactly what I was looking for. The price was so cheap, I expected that I would get what I paid for, but I was mistaken. This is a solid, sturdy, folding knife that slips into your pocket, with ease. Great price and better than Home Depot.

    I purchased two of these on a daily deal because they appeared to be very sturdy for the price. They do appear to be quite sturdy; nice knives that seem like they should last quite a long time. However, the first knife opened fine, the blade retracted easily and it folded closed as it should, and never would fold again. Other people have tried, too, with no success. I consigned that one to the tool box, where it can be stored extended without grandchildren getting to it. I haven't actually tried to mess with the other one since then; it's folded in a drawer so hopefully it will continue to fold.

    One would not think of best buy as a place to pick up something like this, but this is actually a great blade at a great price. Extremely sturdy, hard to lose cause of the color, standard safety features. I bought one and then ordered 4 more.

    You probably wondering how difficult could it be to use this utility knife. It's a really nice utility knife, but skil just over engineered this product. So when you unfold the knife, you still have to push the lever to expose the blade then you HAVE to fully retract the blade to record the knife. Which makes sense but it has to be FULLY AND PERFECTLY retracted or else you just won't be able to fold the knife. Over is really nice, I got it because It wears the Skil branding.

    This is a great product that outperforms any others like it. The price is indicative of what you pay. Most other utility knives will break under pressure. Not This one.
