OLFA 9mm Precision Utility Knife (XA-1) - Multi-Purpose Retractable Precision Knife w/ Fiberglass Reinforced Handle & Snap-Off Blade

Bought one a few months back and was devastated to have lost it. You can’t beat the price and efficiency of this box cutter. With working so much, I don’t have a lot of time to get products in store so most of my purchases are online. Cardboard ends up taking a lot of space in the recycling bin, so having this handy blade really clears out on the constant influx of cardboard!

Wish I had bought one of these long ago.

The best tool for sharpening my drawing pencils-with do I change the blade.how do I change the blade. there are no instructions.

Works perfect and is sturdy.

My only negative is the incorrect Amazon description which shows a length of 8.7 ? (I tried to locate specs at the Olfa website but to no avail). I would have purchased several more but wanted to see this one first due to the length. I can verify that the OAL retracted is in fact 5.675 (not 8.7)...huge difference! So I extended the blade to max and measured this length to be; 8.125 which is still over .5 shorter than the Amazon specs. Incorrect dimensions (and other specs) seems to be a common problem with Amazon. Not sure why? The Olfa, XA-1 (1075449) is very well made and you will not find a better snap-off knife anywhere. It is similar in size and function to my American Line knife(s) but has a much better feel due to the rubberized grips. Highly recommended and 2-day Prime shipment.

Great for opening boxes, mail, cutting down boxes and light crafts projects, especially cutting foam. Obviously not for serious cutting and projects. Just be sure to buy extra blades as they wear out relatively fast, but the blades are super cheap and very easy to switch out.

This is a great little break-away knife! I originally got the OLFA stainless steel locking blade and found it kind of hard to hold comfortably. I suppose that one is ok for very light use but this one is great all around. I use it as a general purpose utility knife for cutting everything from wires to scraping food off of the counter when its really stuck on. I have 2 already and Ill probably buy another one or two at some point in the future.

Good product; good price.

Blades break a tad too easy. But pretty sure others due too. The handle is Very nice.

definitely a quality blade - i love the end piece that helps you securely break off the dull edge pieces.
