Review on πŸ”ͺ OLFA 9149 ABB-50B 9mm UltraSharp Black Snap-Off Blade, Pack of 50 by Eric Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's as spicy as they say.

I use Olfa utility knives all over our "gentleman's farm"; at the opening of the post office, in the kitchen, in the workshops (there are three of them) and in my handover area. I rate the knife itself as a 5-star tool, but I had to keep replacing standard blades, which I felt was too quick. These blades are sharper right off the bat and seem to hold their sharpness much longer (cutting 2" braided core rubber tubing will still dull them fairly quickly) and I'm a convert. A bit pricey, but as I work longer with each blade I'll be ahead of the game, and the frustration of picking up a utility knife only to find it's too boring to use is much less with these blades.

Pros
  • Heavy duty finish
Cons
  • I have no complaints about it, everything is fine
