Need A Cool Razor/Utility knife...

[tiguy7]

View attachment 1309512 I second the Spectrum Energetics Utilizer 2.0. I use it with Lenox Gold Bimetallic blades.

I chose the Gil-tek RUK version 2 in brass after carrying micro utility knives which use a smaller blade. The RUK carries well in my watch pocket.

1/4 inch thick kiridashi. I have one from Ecos. It cuts thick leather like a champ too.

OH!! That made me laugh. That is gross, and intriguingly cool at the same time.

 

[folder geek]

Sorry but that's wrong with the zippo, cool but wrong
I'm a ER RN and trust me I know wrong
Respect

Yes, it’s a novelty and a great conversation starter.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Yes, it’s a novelty and a great conversation starter.

As long as the conversation isnt with the lighter. Ahaha!

 

[Kmikaz3]

Well, as you can see BJE , folder geek and you started this conversation. So, i guess this lighter works as intended.

Not to derail the thread. So im sorry for posting that Zippo

That’s just wrong. I like it but, it’s still wrong.

Gerber EAB.
Tiny liner locking folder that holds a standard blade. Fits perfectly in your coin pocket. They're like $11 on Amazon.

I have one of those. They work quite well.

Old School Cool.[/QUOTE]
If you want old school, how about a Christy knife?
Sorry, I don’t have a picture.

Maybe not very exiting to look at, but the Cold Steel Tuff Lite is a great box cutter and all-around utility knife. I use mine often to cut leather - the combination of the hollow grind and full handle allows a great deal of force to be applied to the cut.

Thanks sabre cat somehow I never heard of these. Neat piece of history.

I get the Stanley blades free so I don’t see myself switching. But I might get a Christy just to have one.

Again it’s a conversational piece , that zippo.

I have one. It is one of the older models with all the engraving.

It’s on my pocket watch chain. It does not see much use but, it is still fun to have.

If I was going to carry one on my keys, I would pick one of the newer models.

View attachment 1418846Unquestionably the Stanley 10-499.

Retractable 3 Position (4 position if you count closed) Blade, String/Cord Cutter (useable without extending the blade), No Tool Required Blade Change, Blade Storage Compartment for up to five blades.
Accepts all Stanley blades, including the hook/carpet/critter belly unzipper blades.
Ergonomic handle means you use it comfortably "all day" (or a double shift) without developing "hot spots", even without wearing gloves.

My "Go To"/first choice utility knife for over 30 years and counting.
For cost, features, convenience, comfort while using, ease and speed of blade changes in an commercial setting, be it working the line, in the tool room, or in the warehouse, it cannot be beat.
It is just as handy for home use, as well, if/when you don't want to use your "good" EDC for what ever reason(s).
(Personally, I never saw much sense in scoring drywall, opening bags of concrete, or trimming an 2x4/2x6/2x12/4x4, etc. when remodeling, for example, with my EDC pocket knife. Or break down cardboard boxes for a "8 hour" shift or 16 hour double shift, with my "good" pocket knife, come to that.)

Even if I was employed someplace that issued a utility knife, I gave them back their issue utility knife (unless it was a Stanley 10-499. I kept those.) and supplied my own.
