What is a utility knife?

A utility knife, also known as a carpet knife, Japanese knife, cutter, or Stanley knife, is a sharp tool with special features, mainly related to the blades. The fundamental difference between these knives lies in the retractable blade (snap-off blade) and the replaceable blades. With replaceable blade knives, the entire blade is replaced with a new one when it becomes dull. These knives, whether with fixed or retractable blades, can be equipped with trapezoid blades for regular cutting tasks or hook blades for cutting carpets. On the other hand, modern snap-off blades have a series of break-off points, allowing the front edge to be broken off after wear, revealing a sharp back edge.

Utility Knife – Applications & Quality

Utility knives, with snap-off blades or safety blades, are highly versatile due to their longer blades and are popular among hobbyists. They are also widely used by DIY enthusiasts and various companies in the manufacturing and processing industries. This utility knife can cut wallpapers, papers, cable jackets, foils, tapes, fabrics, plastics, carpets, and more. The maximum blade length is 8 cm, making even a professional utility knife suitable for cutting foam. The quality of the blade, handle, and blade slider are the three main differentiating factors of a blade cutter. The higher the quality of the knife, the longer its lifespan, and the easier it is to handle.

Buying a Utility Knife – What to Consider

Entry-Level Utility Knife: Entry-level utility knives often have simple, lightweight plastic housings that can be partially or completely opened to allow for the insertion of snap-off disposable blades. The feeding is usually done in stages. Some cheaper models also come with safety features. The blade automatically retracts when not in use, and you release the button to extend the blade. Entry-level devices are great basics because they can still cut sharply with inexpensive utility blades. However, if you frequently use such tools, we recommend a utility knife with a more comfortable grip.

Mid-Range Utility Knife: Slightly more comfortable are knives with mostly simple metal housings or slightly more robust plastic knives that offer increased stability. Metal blade guides make feeding easy and straightforward. Models with a locking screw allow for continuous adjustment and locking of the cutting edge.

Professional Utility Knife: Frequent users or professionals will require this type of tool as the ergonomically shaped metal or sturdy ABS plastic housing is ideal for frequent use. Although it may add a little more weight, the tool usually fits well in the hand. Soft grip zones also ensure a secure and comfortable handling. The model with tool-less blade change makes work practical and efficient. There are also devices with two blades available, which can be extruded separately, allowing you to switch between trapezoid blades and special hook blades during use, for example.
