Good quality blade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first took it out I liked how heavy duty it was! I wasn’t expecting that and it had a nice Matt grip so when I opened a box it didn’t move even if my hands were sweaty . I like how it has a lock to lock in the blade for security just in case I leave it around I have tiny hands in my house so it’s a good detail they added to this.

Safety

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great little utility knife it’s not too small, but it’s not too big and the wheel that turns for a safety lock is definitely a big plus and it has a very sharp blades on. It would definitely recommend.

Go To Utility Knife / hands down

Would Recommend

BEST Utility knife. The 25 mm XH-1 is my go to cutting knife. I have many styles of utility knives in my shop. When I have a serious job , I go get one of my eight OLFA XH-1 ,I always use the black blades. If you have a good tool in your hand to start with, the chances of cutting yourself are rare.
