    5.0 out of 5 stars I Like the Retractable Feature
    Reviewed in Canada on January 11, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I lost the lid for my old X-Acto, so I bought this. It works very well. The bonus is, it came with a little plastic guard that isn't needed once the blade is retracted. So I put it on my old knife which I WAS going to throw away.

    The slide lock is solid, no slippage. The overall weight is a little light, but not a big deal.

    I can't address durability since I only just got it. It hasn't broken yet. ;-)

    NOTE: There's a review by another buyer that complained about the blade being wobbly and thus dangerous. At first mine was wobbly, but I loosened the blade clamp, removed the blade, and then reinserted it, making sure to push it firmly into the clamp so that it seated at the base. Wobbles no more!

    3.0 out of 5 stars It is a good product and does what it says, but is a little bit flimsy
    Reviewed in Canada on November 9, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    For the price paid for this X Acto knife, I thought that it would be a little bit more sturdy. There are no major problems when cutting with it, but replacing the blade feels risky. When untwisting the metal sheath to take out the blade, the thin plastic inside feels like it could snap if I'm not careful. It has not snapped yet, but I thought they would maybe use metal or something for the price that was paid.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Never lose the protective cap again….
    Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Very handy and I love the fact that I can’t lose the cap for it….I would always lose it and then couldn’t carry the x-acto knife around anymore. I wish it was metal and had a secure lock on it for the blade when closed. I keep imagining it in my pocket and something pressing the lock in just enough for it to slide out, but this hasn’t happened yet and hopefully never will.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very good for my application.
    Reviewed in Australia on June 3, 2021

    I have had Xacto tools since my teenage years in the 1950s, They have been very helpful for the days I was building my model railroad to my needs now for a specific application working on electronics. In this case there is a need for a small, very sharp knife in my portable electronics tool case. The tool needs to fit into a pocket in the case. I already have several xacto blade holders, but none would be suitable for the blade is protruding while the knife is in the pocket. I could remove the blade before storing the handle in its pocket, but that need is now unnecessary, for the blade can retract into this new handle for storage. There is some wobble when the blade is extended and the blade deployed; the blade can move from side to side while being used. Such wobble is removed simply by extending the blade fully out of the handle and exposing the knurled clamping nut; simply grasp the nut, the wobble disappears and the blade can be fully retracted while residing in the pocket. In brief, it is almost identical to the other small handles with the added safety of blade retraction for safety. I like it.

    I had one of this for 13 years and it finally broke. Ordered a replacement without ever second guessing it. Very comfortable and since erhe blad retracts 100%, it's very safe and easy to store. It's about the thickness of a large sharpie marker for comparison.

    These are difficult to come by so when I see them I get it. The body fits well in your hand. Since the blade is retracted into the body lost caps are not an issue. The slide keeps the body from rolling to far on your work surface. The plastic body is light yet durable for general use.

    Like retractable ability of blade,great for safety in a tool box.
    Plastic housing seams flimsy, not up to xacto standards, time will tell. That's why I gave it a 4 star rating. All in all I like it very much .
