Westcott 17314 Pen-Style Retractable CarboTitanium Bonded Hobby Knife, Gold

It looks great, functions smoothly, and can be easily stored like any regular ink pen. It gets regular use at office and home, and the blade is still very sharp. The grip works very well, no worries there.You need to be careful that it's closed (obviously, especially if storing it in a pocket, purse, or on a lanyard like an ink pen) but I'd buy it again without hesitation (though I'd probably only need another if I lost it, because it's very well made).Sure, you can buy a cheaper one, but this one looks great and is sturdier than others I've owned, so it's worth the extra money in my opinion.

Sharp as Albert Enstien on adrenal, strong as Mike Tyson in his prime and elegant as a waiter desperate to pay off a car loan.I’m probably going to buy a spare.My only issue is now I have to find out where to buy replacement cartridges but after a week of intense use I can tell that isn’t going to be an issue for at least a couple months.All hail the might of titanium!

Love this knife. Wanted it for work to have in my pocket and use quickly and put away. BUT the replacement blades are super expensive!! It’s $11 for 3 replacement blades. Like that’s a bit absurd! I’m in the graphic design/production industry so I go through blades relatively fast. At least make a deal like buy 5 3packs for $35 would be so great.Other than that, it’s a nice knife.

This product will be a niche. I use it for building miniatures. Having a small blade to get into small spots that have flashing. You can get into really small spots and clean them. It's not for everyone and shouldn't replace you exacto knife. It should just be used for cleaning hard to get areas of your miniatures. The grip and retractable blade make it safe to leave it on your table or work area. You can also replace the blade. It's easy to replace. I would recommend it for anyone who works on small hobbies.

I like this product very much. It was worth it

Yes, it cuts.

I'm thoroughly happy with this Westcott retractable pen knife. It replaces my old Excel Blade Retractable Pen Knife, at half the cost or less. Depending on where you buy them. I'm a crafter. Mostly cards these days, but I use this kind of retractable pen knife almost every day. Also handy for opening Amazon boxes without cutting too deep. Anyway. The grip of this Westcott pen knife is much better than the Excel and it handles better too as my hands are showing signs of arthritis. Also a great bonus is it uses the same replacement blades as the old Excel. For 5 buck it can't be beat.

Nice knife. At $5, an excellent value. I was so impressed I immediately bought one for a graphics artist friend who I knew would appreciate it. It's very light weight; what's looks like knurled brass is more like aluminum. And the knurling is neither sharp nor deep and does little to help the grip. But I'll not be using this to hack through a 2" hemp rope, so it's fine.
