    Adam can't get enough of this new utility knife that he's been using in the cave! On its surface, it looks like any standard box cutter with snap-off 9mm blades, but this knife also holds extra blade cartridges in its handle for automatic reloading when you finish an entire blade. It holds up to five blades and is super satisfying to use--perfect for quick projects like foamcore or cardboard crafting!

    I instantly recognized that knife as a NT Cutter knife. They make amazing stuff, and most of it is real cheap. My favourite of their knives is the L-500. The grip is great and I love that you lock it with a knob and not in specific increments like so many others.
    I actually have a li'l story about one of these things. My dad had a L-500 when he was studying to become an architect some 30 odd years ago. For all those years, he kept and used it thoroughly (which has to be a testament to the build quality of these things) until one fateful night, a couple of years ago. He accidentally burned one side of it bad when he forgot it on top of our stove. It hadn't become unusable, but had a black, ugly side, and a faint, but constant smell of burned plastic. He was of course very sad about that.
    Flash forward to when I started studying art and tech. In the art supply shop at my uni, I found the exact same knife, as in unchanged for who knows how many years. I had to have it, so I immediately bought two: one for me, 'cause of the knife I had borrowed from my dad all my life, and one for him to replace the old burned one. He got immensely happy to get a brand new version of his favourite knife.
    Quick side note, the sound the locking knob makes is amazing and if you get one, you'll have a hard time not fiddling with it a whole bunch.
    Tl;dr: L-500 is a real good knife from NT Cutter. Dad had that knife, but accidentally burned it, so I bought him a a new one and one for myself.

    The reload feature is handy, but I never felt that my OLFA knife ( they invented the snap knife) was lacking because it didn't do that. Probably this is because I mostly use it for small jobs. For bigger jobs I'm more likely to use the MakerKnife.

    My experience with that design is that the blade pulls out when pulling hard in tough material. But perhaps yours is better than the ubiquitous hardware store models. I'm a huge Olfa fan. They're indestructible and child proof. Becky Stern has a good video on why she loves them too. Great vid!

    • @1987RX7TII
      @1987RX7TII 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was basically going to write the exact comment word for word without the Becky Stern part. I work in a. Print shop where our finishing department literally cuts with these knives all day every day and there are bins of these kinds of designs out of circulation because they prematurely release the blades or just generally don’t hold up to constant all day use. We have maybe 15 to 20 Olfas spread out across different work stations all over because they are the best. The blade truly will lock into place, and the handle feels solid.

      I got a Olfa for straight blades to use on synthetic felt paper for roofing so I could switch from my fiskar hook blade for tar paper , and the olfa got jammed full of granulars and bent at the top metal enough that I have to bang it in a certain position to get the blade to set in place before I use it every time. Let alone needing to use my other blade to clean it every couple days. It depends the usage I guess but I found fiskar makes a really slick simple design where it’s just a double sided blade at the top with a sheath that swings by the push of a side button. Impossible to jam and it holds blades inside. Can put both straight and/or hook inside if you lose your other one

    Have a great snap-knife from Stanley that works the same way. It also has a locking function to keep the blade from coming out if you cut through something sticky. Two things I particularly like...it’s got a meaty yellow plastic handle and broader blades, so you can use it for heavy duty, box cutter-type tasks but it’s still agile enough to do xacto blade work in a pinch... a great multitasker tool.

  • @beginswithaj
    @beginswithaj 4 ปีที่แล้ว +70

    Have one myself, made by Stanley here in The Netherlands. Although an interesting concept at first (trust me, I was just as enthusiastic as Adam :P ), wait until you have to cut something sticky or rough. Once the blade gets caught by the material you're cutting, the whole blade yanks forward and in the worst case gets pulled out because there is no locking system on the (for lack of accurate term) slider button.
    Maybe it's just me and my horrible cutting technique, but it happened more than once ;) If the slider would lock, I'd buy it yesterday! @Adam maybe something to think about for your line of awesome tools?

I know nothing about the one Adam is showing, but if it locks like the DeWalt it will not have the problem you speak of. I have used the Stanley snap knives and have experienced the problem you speak of and you are 100% correct about that one.

    I have a similar knife with a bigger blade at work, but it's made of higher quality plastic with rubber to stabelise the grip.
    It's really nice to "reload" the knife like that, it saves some time and if you want a sharper blade because the one you used is a bit dull, you can change it in a few seconds.

  • @MrHws5mp
    @MrHws5mp 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's cool. I've got a couple of neat knives along the same lines that I've had for years:
    .
    First one is, in effect, a double-sided snap-knife: you put snap-knife blades in one side, and either a wood or metal-cutting keyhole saw blade in the other. Both retract, so it's a really handly thing to just drop in the bottom of a crowded tool box. It's easy to break the saw blades, but that's true of any saw blade that's only supported at one end.
    .
    The other one is a magazine knife for Stanley-pattern blades. It holds the blades in a rotary magazine in the back of the handle (which is sculpted to a nice fat hand grip shape) and you extend and retract them with a locking slide on the top. When the blade is dull, you retract it, rotate the knob at the back end, and index a new one. When they've all been used at one point, you take the cartridge out, flip it over, and all the other points are available. When both the points on all the blades have been blunted, you take the whole cartridge out and swap it for a new one. I bought a big pack of cartridges when I bought the knife 20 years ago, and I havn't got to the end of them yet.

  • @kevinobrien5602
    @kevinobrien5602 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have one of those and at the end is a dial screw that you can tighten to hold onto the blade to prevent it from moving or slipping out. I find that handy. I like my auto load box cutter too.

    I've known these as Stanley knives for forever, although the original ones had a two-ended blade you would flip around when it got dull. I have both a small as well as a larger Stanley Snap Knife here, both featuring the reloadable cartridge, as well as blade locking. The larger one also features a thumbscrew to lock the blade even more tightly. An integrated snap-guide also locks into the back of both tools.

    A Stanley FatMax is a snap knife I use often, it has multiple blades as well, can swap the blades the same as this one, the snap off tool is built in and can be popped out, and the blade can be locked in position. Has a fair weight to it, and a textured grip.

    NT cutter (the brand of this knife) is a hidden gem and my go-to. Their handles and blades are made in Japan but not much more cost than Chinese stuff. This knife is their most expensive model, but they also offer an ABS version of this that’s only around $7 and built to last.

    Cheap, simple, durable, and with an action that never slips, breaks, or fails. Edding M18, the M1 Garand of box cutters. I've had mine since they first produced them decade and so ago, and it has never failed me. Yes, it's made out of plastic, but it's not the cheapo kind. Bonus, it's aesthetically pleasing to look at. Definitely lines up with the edges of the table.

    I have one or two already -- they also make great letter openers if you extend the blade out 5 or 6 segments and slice carefully at an angle well away from your fingers. Opens packages and tough plastic shipping envelopes that normally require healthy teeth and a stick of dynamite (and a match.) It is as close to a miracle tool as you can get - Now if you could only buy one and a pack of refills. Thanks Adam, thanks a lot!

    I think Milwaukee makes a utility blade version like this where its like a normal retractable utility knife and a release button to pull the blade out of the holder, however on the back side there is a door which you can open and stack like 3-5 replacement blades. So instead of inserting a new blade from the front, you do the same motion like this one, take the old blade out and pull it all the way back to auto load a new blade and pull forward to slide it out. When you reload blades in the back just flip them around so the fresh unused side of the blade will face out like you would with a normal utility knife. Very cool.

      That type of knife has been made by many other brands but one downside of the trapezoid utility knife is that the blade is too short so other than opening the box and cutting through less than 2 inch material trapezoid utility knife is not very useful.

    • @000haker
      @000haker 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Yudi.Hilmawan Depends on the application, sometimes you just want a small sharp sturdy blade. I mostly use it for opening shipments and breaking down boxes at work. Rarely never need a long blade for deep cuts.

    • @Yudi.Hilmawan
      @Yudi.Hilmawan 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@000haker For heavy duty cutting tasks a 18mm blade is as sturdy as a trapezoid blade if you only use 1 segment of the blade and if you use a snap-off knife with a wheel lock then you can lock it tightly so there is no movement in the blade it make the knife feel like a fixed knife and it also allow you to shorten the blade to just a few millimeters so you can cut through boxes or packages without damaging the items inside.
      There are also 25mm blades which are even sturdier than trapezoid blades and if you only use one segment at a time then one 18mm snap-off blade is equivalent to 4 trapezoid blades, stainless steel snap-off blades are also easier to find which allows us to clean the blade with water without worrying about rust when there is a lot of glue after cutting boxes with tape on it or when using it to cut food.
      The 9mm blades you see in this video are designed for precision cutting such as for wallpaper, vinyl wrap, paper crafts, leather crafts and of course it's very capable of cutting cardboard boxes.
      The only reason to use a trapezoid utility knife is if you work or live in a place where only short blades are allowed other than that I don't see any other reason.
