NT Cutter Heavy Duty Aluminum Die-Cast Grip Multi-Blade Cartridge Knife, 1 Knife (L-2000RP), Red.

NT-Cutter is an old guard Japanese Manufacturer, and this is their premium, extra-heavy-duty Snap-Blade Utility Knife, and quite probably the best heavy duty Snap-Blade Knife in the world. The handle is cast aluminum with a peened anodized finish, smooth with no rough casting or machining spots, a series of easy gripping ridges provide extra purchase and tactile response. Mounted inside the handle, is the steel blade guide and cartridge system. The Blade extend and retract mechanism is heavy and precisely engages from position to position. Now one of the things that sets this knife apart from all the other Snap-Blade knives, is that on the right side of the knife, at the blade exit slot, is a thumb screw driven blade clamp. It is not visible in the Amazon product photos, but it is there. By tightening the screw with the extended blade, you will clamp it into position against all movement, vertical, or retraction/extension. Likewise, if the blade is retracted, tightening the screw will serve as a safety mechanism against unwanted blade extension. It is extremely robust. While it slows down the operation a little bit, the extra rigidness it provides during heavy duty cutting is well worth it. The other aspect of this knife, is that it carries a removable cartridge that stores six extra blades. When you've worn out and discarded the last section of your old blade, you simply slide the extension button fully to the rear, and a new blade is loaded automatically, and will begin to extend when you slide the extension button forward. Nifty! The knife comes with 2 blades installed, and takes the widely produced 18mm utility blade size. Blades are available from Tajima, NT-cutter, and OLFA. This is the knife I wish I had, when I was a lowly warehouse worker so many years ago. If you need a reliable cutting companion, this is it.

Great knife. Really convenient and easy to use

Bar none the best utility knife i have ever used. Included blades are very good I buy the Irwin brand they stay sharp a bit longer. Leather work and around the house its my go to

All metal, and STURDY! Satisfying mechanism. A small detail that I appreciate, is the blades come coated with oil- so they don't rust. I use this to open packages all the time, since the blades are easy to snap and replace. No more dulling my pocket knives on cardboard boxes!

Directions were not very helpful. And when I tried loading up six of the blades - because I bought extras when I bought this - it didn't want to work right, so I ended up taking all six of them out and leaving just the two that it came with. And I had to be careful every step of the way so I didn't cut myself!

Darn good knife. Order extra blades. A joy to handle securely and safely

Look No Further. Pricey but for those who want to dismantle their boxes in class, well, this is the exception par none. A magazine of six razors with clip off, dulled w/use, razor tips with an enclosed “tip clipper”. For those “Brahmins” whose demands know no heights there is a detached (separately purchased – of course) very cool magazine of 50 razor blades. Keeping all your fingers is always something to be sought after, that said, the locking mechanism secure the cutting razor to remain at the projected length preventing blade slippage – slipping not good. Now I have purchased two (2) of these crème-de-le-creame box cutters, one for the downstairs and one for the upstairs, and I have to confess I also have one on the workbench peg board in my garage. So what prompted this unfettered buying spree? Well where I live in Sothern California there is a warehouse seller whose name starts with a “C” and ends with a “O” and is 6 letters long. Select products, that is products that are expensive and easily fencable, are packaged is bullet proof cardboard and encased in Fort Knox plastic. Attempting to “break into” these encased packages with my old American made box cutter from “H---E D---T” nearly amputated a finger here and there – I escaped but not without thinking that another method, included explosions, may meet with better and safer success. Now America has done a fair job after 30 years to understand that we as a people don’t like their garish automobiles, but rather, those fine Japanese automobiles. Well, guess what, this is a Japanese product and made with the same attention to function and detail as their automobiles. Hence in addition to purchasing Japanese automobiles, you guess it, I now have the good sense, and all my fingers, to buy Japanese very cool box cutters.

This thing makes most of the "snap knifes" on the market look like kids toys. Right out of the packaging you can feel the quality. This thing is stout... All metal, auto loading, comes with 2 awesome blades, holds 6 spare blades, very comfortable handle, and designed flawlessly. I am remodeling and got sick of breaking all of the plastic garbage and went on a mission for a snap knife that I can actually reuse. This thing will last a lifetime. Very happy customer.. There is a reason why Japanese tools are top shelf and this is just another example. I highly recommend this to everyone. I paid full price for this and I am not being compensated for this review.

Grande qualité ! Chargeur Blocage de la lame : aucun jeu. Ultra précis.

Ich bin Besitzer mehrere solcher (Teppich)-Messer. Mann kennt es. Im Baumarkt vor der Kasse stehen sie immer und man denkt sich. Ich brauche ein Neues. Aber die Plastikbomber halten, die Klinge immer nicht anständig, wirken billig, die Arretierung hält nicht, die Klinge fährt nicht raus oder klemmt und man ärgert sich nur. Bei der Renovierung meiner Wohnung durfte ich erstmals mit dem Cartridge L meines Vaters arbeiten. Ein solides Messer mit Metallgehäuse. Es ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen und sah abgenutzt aus, aber als Maler schwört mein Vater auf dieses Messer. Somit war klar, so eines brauche ich auch. Schluss mit Plastikgehäuse! Gesagt getan. Vorher habe ich mich im Internet, bzw. auf Amazon informiert und mir die diversen Marken und Varianten angeschaut (Bosch, Fischer etc). Aber es sollte was anständiges mit herausfahrbarer Klinge sein und nachdem ich bereits mit dem Cartridge gearbeitet habe, viel die Entscheidung auf dieses. Das Messer ist solide verarbeitet und wirkt von Qualität. Es ist, bis auf die rote Endkappe vollständige aus Metall. Es hat eine drehbare Arretierung (Rändelschraube) der Klinge. Diese ist intuitiv; Messer rausschieben, und mit dem Finger das Rädchen nach hinten drehen bis es fest ist und dann bewegt sich nichts mehr. Es liegt gut in der Hand und hat Platz für min. drei weitere Ersatzklingen. Es hat keine Gummierung, aber es ja auch ein Handwerkzeug und kein Plüschteddybär. Die Gummierung würde wahrscheinlich bei Kraftaufwand und (Hand-) Schweiß sowieso schnell verschleißen. Der Vorschub funktioniert einwandfrei ohne Fehler (s. oben). Auf dieses Messer kann man sich verlassen. Der Preis schreckt a;, knapp 30 Euro für ein Messer. Aber wer billig kauft, kauft zweimal. Diese Erfahrung muss jeder machen. Wer ein anständiges Messer haben möchte, ist hier absolut richtig. Kaufempfehlung.

Arrived very quickly, and is levels above the 700 that I've been using for the last 3 years. No hotspots in use, and the only plastic is for the cartridge. Probably the ideal 18mm for me, especially for applying vinyl to signs all day.

刃を6枚入れるとなかなかの重さになります。 強いです

Es un cúter extraordinario, agarre perfecto, fabricado en su totalidad en material metálico, lo cual le da consistencia y mejor uso. El sistema de carga de seis hojas lo hace muy útil, no es necesario estar pendiente del cambio de la hoja, cuando esta se ha gastado se retira y se extrae otra sin ninguna dificultad. Muy recomendable.
