> 3 dayI bought this based on a recommendation online. I like my OLFA rotary cutters, and so knew it was a quality brand. It may sound silly, but it would have been nice for them to have some basic instructions on the back of the package. Ive never used these snap off blades and had to go to youtube to see how to use them safely.

> 3 dayIncredibly sharp. One of my most used tools in my clinician pouch. Super sharp, comfortable handle without over the top designs. Most other 9mm snap tip box blades I have used are cheap plastic $1 store grab bag items. Its taken a while to find one that is very high quality. Only two drawbacks... 1) The high carbon blade is very sharp, but rusts very easily. After casting in the clinic, I will cut the fiberglass with this with ease, but the blade will start to form a layer of rust on the edge a few hours later, just from the moisture in the cast. 2) If you arent careful, the blade perforations will snap easier than expected, shortening the lifetime of the blade.

> 3 dayI manage a mattress factory and my guys use this to cut through thick mattress panels. They complain when I buy anything else. These knives rock.

> 3 dayLove this so much I bought a second one. We primarily use it to open and break down boxes (we may order from Amazon too much). It works as advertised. Careful around small kids, it is SHARP!

> 3 dayI love this little thing. It’s compact and I use it for everything. I recommend it. In my opinion it’s easier to use around the house than the 18mm.
