TAJIMA Utility Knife - 1 7-Point Rock Hard Snap Blade Box Cutter with Dial Lock & Rock Hard Blade - LC-650

I do a lot of wood carving, these knives are the most durable out of any razor knife Ive ever used. I use them to aggressively take off large amounts of wood when I need, so they end up seeing quite a bit of abuse. Highly recommend these, and the blades they come with.

Decently made. Comparable to Olfas knives. Locks securely, good grip. However, I found that when I need this size blade for cutting tougher material, its best to go to a standard utility knife with the trapezoidal blades (i.e. Stanley, Irwin, Milwaukee, etc), as those blades are stiffer, and one can even buy extra stiff trapezoidal blades if needed.

I bought my first Tajima utility knife nearly 20 years ago. I bought two at the time, and still use both regularly. Easily the best utility knives Ive ever used, and I bought two more to make sure I dont ever have to resort to any poorly made ones in the future. As a side note, Olfa products are also great.

Great blade. Actually the best blade I have every owned with regard to tough, out side work in construction or farm use.

Great product. Bought this for a friend along with supporting blades as Ive had one for years and would not trade for anything Ive come across yet.

Great matt knife!

I use this in the sheet metal trade. Good, not great, heavy duty knife. After a while the blade gets a little difficult to slide in and out and the blades seem to dull pretty quick.

I don’t know what the Japanese are doing better, but since switching to this blade, a lot of tasks have gotten easier. Had to cut I ton of insulating foam to shapes and this cut it like butter vs the random blade from Home Depot I was previously using that was harder to get through and made more rough cuts. I highly recommend this. I’ve even given it as a gift before.
