Not sure its going to last for very long

Check your blade before making any cuts, mine was not seated fully and came out. Not for lefties, which I am. however I am used to this, and knew it wasn't ambidextrous. The auto retracting blade was not exactly as handy as I thought it would be. You have to hold the knife a certain way to be able to keep it extracted and keep downward pressure. I found the blade wanted to extend all the way out regardless. All a neat concept, but doesn't work well in the real world.

Pros
  • Knives, Parts & Accessories
Cons
  • The blade may not be long enough for certain types of cutting tasks

This is such an upgrade to older, beat-up models that I have

One of the nicest things to do for yourself if you are a DIYer is to upgrade everyday, workhorse tools like your utility knife (knives). I have around three of them that are a bit beat up, so I really apprecaite the WORKLION Heavy-Duty Utility Knife Retractable: Zinc Alloy Body & Rubber Grip Handle.The triggers and button work smoothly. The handle is slightly larger than my older ones, and more ergonomic. The orange stripe makes it easier to find than a solid grey model. It's clear how to…

Pros
  • Very sharp
Cons
  • The blade can become dull quickly and need frequent replacement

Worklion Utility Knife

It works well. We have a few older utility knives around the house. The blades eventually need to be replaced so it’s nice that this one comes with spares. It’s cool that it has a spot to store the blades. It also comes with a container to hold the extra blades.It feels sturdy. One of our previous utility knives has a plastic handle that’s shaky and pretty unusable for tougher jobs. The handle fits the hand well. It’s easy to hold.

Pros
  • Love the secure grip.Used the knife on cardboard and plastic.
Cons
  • The blade replacement process can be difficult and time-consuming

A Great Utility Knife For Use In The Workshop And Elsewhere

The WORKLION Utility Knife was ordered for use in my workshop.Where was this knife when I needed one like it many years ago? This is one exceptional knife.This knife has a zinc alloy body, has a somewhat balanced feel, and comes with a rubber grip handle that is rather non-slip. What I liked most about the knife is that it fits my hand and is comfortable to grip. I've had other utility knives that were uncomfortable and as such, I did not like using them.The knife features a side-slide that…

Pros
  • ‎8.7 x 4.33 x 1.1 inches
Cons
  • The blade may not be sharp enough to achieve a clean, straight cut

Blade open in the shipping carton

The Utility knife had slipped out of its packaging and the blade was fully extended when I reached into the shipping box!

Pros
  • I needed a box knife. This is a box knife. I am happy.
Cons
  • The zinc alloy body can become scratched or dented easily

The tough guy in my review

After a few box cutters went tango-uniform on me, I have this one that I can recommend heartily. It comes with extra blades, can be operated (opened and closed for safety) with one hand. It has a really great grip. Hole on back of handle for a lanyard.

Pros
  • High quality product.
Cons
  • The utility knife may not be compatible with all types of blades

Works well good for me

I like this knife. I guess I just misunderstood what the product description meant by auto-retractable. I was under the impression the knife was considered a "safety" knife - which is all I can have at my job - so the other box cutters I have I either can't let the wrong person see me with it because they'll confiscate it, or I just simply can't use at work. And I open a lot of boxes. Which is why this was attractive to me. It DOES have the auto-retract feature but there's also just as easily…

Pros
  • It is highly recommend to use a self-healing cutting mat when you use this utility knife to prolong blade life and protect the desk, WorkLion cutting mat is a good choice for you.
Cons
  • The blade may wobble or move while in use, making it difficult to achieve a straight cut

I was really liking this one, until I discovered an issue.

Pros:It does the job. You can read all the pros in other reviews, and I have nothing to add, so I won’t duplicate them here.Cons:I learned this the hard way. The two sliding buttons that cause the blade to extend out of the housing leave something to be desired in terms of safety. I’ll describe these two buttons separately: (1) The sliding button that is SILVER colored on the top side of the device has no locking aspect to it whatsoever. It simply slides freely. SO, if you happen to put this…

Pros
  • ‎Ergonomic
Cons
  • The utility knife may not be suitable for left-handed users

Offers Fairly Precise Control of the Blade

The WORKLION Heavy-Duty Utility Knife is a workhorse of a utility knife. It cuts smoothly without blade wobble and locks into three positions with a convenient orange slide easily positioned with your thumb. The sharp blades can easily be replaced when needed and extra blades are provided. I get a substantial number of boxes of all sizes on a regular basis and this knife allows me to open them rapidly. It allows enough control that I can open boxes without damage to the contents, even when the…

Pros
  • WorkLion utility knife set included Extra 5-piece blades. These utility knife blades are made from high quality steel, very sharp, more durable and long-lasting.
Cons
  • The blade may become clogged with debris while in use

Really good package cutting knife

This is a great knife for opening boxes. It's sturdy and easy to extend and retract the blade. It's well made with quality materials and holds up to a lot of use. The rubber grip keeps it firmly in your hand without slipping, and the twine cutter is really convenient. I love having the extra blade storage in the knife so I don't have to hunt the blades down every time I need one.

Pros
  • Easy to hold
Cons
  • The safe box cutter design may not be suitable for all cutting tasks

It's Like a Sports Car Comparing With My Old Wagon :).

Well, what can I say ? This utility knife is like comparing a fast sports car with my old station wagon, really. It's sad but true :). It takes a little bit more work replacing the blades with my old knife lets put it that way. This one also has a very nice ergonomic grip and feels a lot more sturdier as well. The bottom orange non-slip soft rubber feels really comfortable to hold with the little tail hook at the end for extra leverage with your pinky finger was a nice touch also. Not to…

Pros
  • ‎No
Cons
  • The retractable blade mechanism may wear out over time and need frequent maintenance

Buy the item.: my feedback

The cutter works great. Cuts cardboard like it was butter. Very comfortable to handle. Blades last awhile. You cannot go wrong, buy the cutter.

Pros
  • Came fast, and is a great work knife
Cons
  • The retractable mechanism can become loose over time and not lock in place securely

THE GOOD:--------------*Zinc ally body.* Retractable.* Safe.* Built in blade holder.* Bonus supply of 5 extra blades in a nice little container.THE BAD:------------* Nothing at all. This is my go-to box cutter. 5-Stars!

Pros
  • Great knife easy to use. Arrived on time, and as promised.
Cons
  • The rubber grip handle can collect dirt and debris easily

Nice features good for me

This WORKLION Heavy-Duty Utility Knife has nice features.I like that it has both locking and auto retract options.It also has blade storage in the handle.Construction is solid and feels very durable.Handle is comfortable and the rubber grip gives you solid grip on the knife.The quick release button for blade changes is a must for me and this has that too.No need to grab a screwdriver to take the knife apart to change blades.This basically has every feature I could ask for and has quickly become

Pros
  • Knives
Cons
  • The blade may become loose and fall out while in use

Nice update on an old design

Good utility knife with some modern features (auto-retraction, easy to swap blades, twine cutter, etc). A lot of the negative reviews are being really picky. It's just a utility knife.

Pros
  • All around handy.
Cons
  • The rubber grip handle can become slippery if hands are sweaty or wet

I love this thing: my feedback

This is so much better than a regular razor. It is so convenient and even safer. I love the rubber grip. I love the easy access storage to spare razors. I love the angle of it as a whole for cutting. I love the lock and easy unlock mechanism as well as the spring-loaded mechanism you have to hold. I wish I had one of these years ago. For something so inexpensive it is a total upgrade.

Pros
  • ‎Utility Knife
Cons
  • The retractable blade may not stay in place once extended

I love everything about this!

These are such handy little knives to have around the house that it's great that this feels like an all-in-one package.+ Blade storage!Yep, you don't have to go scrounging in your garage to try and find where you stored the replacement blades because you can store some directly in this unit.+ The twine cutter is a nice touch and it's safe!Definitely a lot safer than having an exposed blade that some may not be careful enough with and are pulling the blade across the twine toward their…

IT'S MINE in my review

I broke down and bought this for me and I was happy it came in orange so that if I see any family member using it there will be trouble in the house. My tools kept disappearing! I am a mother raising boys and I can't find my tools so, I am building my own tools box and making sure that they are colored and locked up in my box. Love the tool. Safe with extra blades, yep I would buy it again.

Pros
  • ‎Pvc,Stainless,Plastic,Rubber,Steel
Cons
  • The blade may rust if not properly maintained after use
