This is a very light duty knife and the blade will come out if used for anything other than cutting open boxes. I picked up a couple for less than five bucks apiece, but I still don't think it was worth it. Spend a little extra on a better knife. It will be a lot safer and less frustrating!

Overall the knife is a decent product. It's durable and light weight.

The biggest problem is the quick change. It's easy to use, but it doesn't hold the blade very securely. Sometimes if the blade hangs up on something it pulls right out of the knife.

I recommend it for light use (opening boxes) and not for heavy duty use (cutting cardboard).

This knife is cool looking and slim and can be opened comfortably with one hand. For about 3 days of moderate use it was great but then I tried to cut a few layers of corrugated with it and the blade popped out of the knife and remained stuck in the cardboard. After that if just wouldn't hold a blade anymore. I think it was a reasonable task to ask of a utility knife so unless mine was defective the quick change system isn't adequate.

As I carry a knife everyday this is the best I have found (so far) as it is very compact and light. Changing blades is a little akward until you get used to it. Will accept different style of blades.

Good for light work, but if you apply too much pressure, the blade pops out. This could be very dangerous!

Recommended only for opening packages, and VERY light duty work, for which it is perfect.

I've carried a cheap locking blade razor knife for 2 years. I got this one as a present and I loved it!
But, after using it for 2 months I've had several close calls (cutting myself) while using it.
I've used it for cutting those heavy duty plastic straps that bind our paper orders and I use to use it to cut down the cardboard afterwards...
DO NOT USE FOR CUTTING CARDBOARD!
The pressure used to push the blade into the cardboard is more than enough to release the spring loaded stud that you use to load and unload your razor blades. So the blade comes right out. Either slightly out of the blade, sticking in to the cardboard box, or falling out completely.
So... be careful. The easy load stud was a great idea... just wish they could make it safer. I don't recommend this product.
