Stanley 10-099 6 in Classic 99 Retractable Utility Knife, 3-Pack

Have used many utility knives in my day, and I still find myself always coming back to old faithful. If you want something well built to do the job it’s intended for, then look no further. Is it super compact, no, but I have big pockets. Does it cost a fortune? Also no. Solid, functions every time, not so expensive you’re mad if it disappears on the job site. Buy a multi-pack and have spares for the same price as a generic folding set-up.

Ive tried other types and styles over many years in the trade, but have come back to, and settled on this utility knife. It’s easy to use, nothing fancy or gimmicky, reliable and inexpensive. It needs no improvements.

I have worked construction for 45 years I have used many different brands of utility knifes, but for me these Stanley knives have been around forever and the service life is great for the costs I also buy the 100 pack of refill blades. These are made to do what you dont want to do with your better knifes. And they are affordable.

Ordered for my husband- he opens boxes all day long. He says it works fine and no complaints. Would recommend.

Why is it the only one I buy? Because it is reliable and it does what I want it to do and I do not need anything fancier.

Great knife once you get it opened and the blade set.

This is the "Classic" Stanley knife but unfortunately the steel that they now use for the blade carriage is not the same as a knife made in years past. The outer case is exactly the same but internally they made a change to save what...20 cents per knife.... that will cause the carriage tab to break off from metal fatigue prematurely. The picture shows a blade carriage from an older knife which is made of "spring steel", a special type of steel that is made to bend and spring back (bottom one in pic). The new knives are made with the lowest grade stamped steel that lacks the same bending properties needed for the knife tab to last (top one in pic). This may sound like a nitpick but it's just another example of the degradation of quality for corporate profit. Give me a knife that lasts for $15. than one that will break for $6. any day of the week. So sick of this trend. MADE IN USA (with parts from China that were to absolute lowest bidder)

Really great razor knives and at a reasonable price. I have been using Stanley razor knives for close to 40 years and I am very happy to be able to find these as they are the original style razor knives that I have always loved. They come with extra blades inside the handles and are very sturdy and reliable. I highly recommend.
