The best Japanese contractor knife!

These are simply the best knives for carpenters and otherwise- they are made in Japan and just the only knife I use on the jobsite!

Locking wheel is NOT the way to go.

Would Not Recommend

More stout than the std disposable razor knife—note they sell refills for this one— but the locking wheel is a pain in the neck. Makes it difficult and slow to extend/retract the blade, especially 1-handed. Even when you loosen the wheel, dust and debris make it difficult and cumbersome to slide the blade in or out. Then you have to tighten the wheel again…it gets old fast.

The one and only OLFA XH-1!

Would Recommend

OLFA created the snap-off knife. This is the heavy duty, XH-1. I love the light weight of this heavy duty XH-1. There is no blade storage in the handle of this knife, so you will have to reinstall the replacement blade, after using up all of the segments on the old blade. This knife feels really good in your hand, the way needs to
