Always in my back pocket
As a cabinetmaker this knife Doesn’t leave my person. I like this model the best because it’s sleek and smooth and I can’t even tell it’s in my pocket. I use it for everything from cleaning the tip of a glue bottle to cross cutting veneer. I even carve with it from time to time it’s that sharp. A great knife and a must have for any wood shop.

Most used tool in my toolbox
I use this particular knife in my everyday work field. It performs the best as a rubber cutting tool and I wouldn’t look to use anything else. Other knifes dull quickly and a relatively unsafe. Having the ability to retract the blade and stick it in my pocket is one of the best aspects

The Everyday Knife!
This knife is the perfect go to knife for any project. I’ve had ones that last 10+ years without issue. Now of course that doesn’t include the blade lifespan but those are easy and quick to change out and the breakaway blades are a great way to keep a sharp edge. Durable, simple, and cost effective this knife is my number 1 choice.

The Best!
This knife is the best. I’ve used it on construction sites and in the art studio for the past 13 years. Any other utility knife just won’t do. It’s light, comfortable to use, and because of the ratchet lock you’re able to get a very precise and secure blade depth. A must.

Handy tough knife
This knife has multiple uses around our place. Used it first to cut out some cardboard templates for spraying. Then used it while adding LED bar lights to my Side by Side. Wiring, stripping, and cutting out dash plastic for installing switches. It cut the plastic easily and cleanly. Also used it for cutting string to tie up tomato plants. The blades are very sharp and having plenty of replacements is a bonus. I recommend this knife

Excellent, solid and comfortable
This is a surprisingly nice knife!
The handle is made of high impact ABS plastic and very smooth which makes it feel very comfortable to hold and use. I cannot imagine breaking it. The construction is very solid, with stainless steel guides for the blade and brass threads on the ratchet wheel that hold the blade in place.
The design is good, new blades are easily inserted from the back in seconds. No additional tool is needed to change blades. See picture.
Blades are 18mm high and 0.5mm wide. A variety of blade types are available too.
The blade is extremely sharp as one would expect!. They are made from carbon tool steel. Each blade provides eight blades that one can snap off as soon as they get dull or blunt.
The packaging directs us to the company website for a satisfaction guarantee, but all I could find there was that unopened products would be replaced or refunded. I can’t imagine one being unhappy with this product anyway.
Made in Japan!

Time-proven Design Excellence
The OLFA L-1 Pro18 ratchet-lock utility knife is sharp, precise, and ergonomic. The blade is held securely in a stainless steel channel within a ridged ABS plastic handle. The black knob ratchet lock mechanism allows adjustment of the exposed blade length to control cutting depth. The double honed carbon steel blade has excellent sharpness and edge retention. The snap-off blade design provides quick convenient access to a new sharp edge when needed. The non-slip ridged handle is comfortable to hold for precise control. Additional blade types are available. Highly recommended.

Just what you need!
I have nothing bad to say about this product. The handle is sturdy in my hand and the blade is completely stable and doesn't move around the handle like it does with cheap utility cutters. I have three of these because I kept misplacing it.
