This utility knife model 12231 by Sheffield (Great Neck) ia a brute to hold in one's hand, and I like that because it feels rock solid in your hand when you need extra 'umph' to get through tougher materials such as thick vinyl, and for me makes me feel safer when drawn near your limbs because it does not wobble in your hand. I really like their heavy duty quick change mechanism too on this premium tool. Is the $25 bucks worth the price? With an emphatic yes... Since it's a super-saver shipment, 5-extra blades that are very sharp, high quality workmanship, and Sheffield's warranty--once again you get what you pay for.

While its description says its heavy duty it is probably more suited to casual use. I work in a factory where I use my knife for 8 hours a day. I bought this knife with the hopes that it would stand up to a normal shift. After just two days use the thumb nub got extremely loose on the first one. After a replacement, the second knifes thumb nub broke completely off. I noticed that they are screwed on and the screws become stripped. To tighten the screw you have to rip up the rubber pad to get to the screw which would create a whole new issue trying to reattach the pad. While the knife is heavy duty on the whole it is just frustrating when the comfort features fail. I plan on trying to reattach the nub before sending it back to see if in the future it will make a useful product.

I had a sheffield rhino and I thought it was the best, I (reluctantly) gave it to one of my buddies at work that said his utility knife sucked. I got on line to get another rhino and seen this gem and had to have it, turns out I like it better than the rhino! Buy one you'll love it! and you can't beat the price! This is one hefty heavy duty knife!
