I find that I have enough regular need to do "destructive cutting"-- to cut other materials against concrete, ceramic, and metal that I use disposable blades quite often. This is why I find this idea appealing.Cambertree wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 8:34 pmNot for me personally, as the Spydie ‘utility knives’ I have already offer superior performance for my work needs.
Have you tried the Wharncliffe Dragonfly or Delica? I can imagine they’d work very well in carpentry type work.
I’ve used utility knives a lot in the past, but I find those knives have superseded them. Well not the Wharny DF2, as I don’t have one yet - I’m hoping for a K390 one - but the ot6her DF2s and the HAP40 Jazzlica is what I use often at work.
Sure, using those kinds of knives for destructive cutting does make sense.Enactive wrote: I find that I have enough regular need to do "destructive cutting"-- to cut other materials against concrete, ceramic, and metal that I use disposable blades quite often.

For other uses, like in warehouses, i agree with you.
I am also sure to use my Spydies when I can.![]()

That's a nice little compact utility blade!

And you’re right, Enactive - I don’t really do that kind of cutting at work.
What do you think of those tungsten alloy steel blades?
I got this interesting little utility blade holder in a package buy or trade from someone a while ago:

There’s a bit of slop in the ‘lock’, but it’s a nice, simple, featherweight design.
I could see it being a good addition to a first aid kit...
For a right hander, LOL.![]()

But yeah, something like an ergonomic Spydie handle which took existing blades would be a useful work tool for a lot of people, I guess.![]()
