Yeah I do see the need for these and OK if you want a $100 holder for a razor I can see the merit in you being able to buy one.PeaceInOurTime wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 8:38 amstandy99 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 12:36 amMissed this thread for the last few days as been busy with work.
Please No. I carry a knife so I don’t have to use a Stanley knife type.
(And it goes against my creating waste and trying to stop consumables ethos)
I actually have disbelief and annoyance every time I find one of these blades on the street or like the last one I noticed on the floor in a supermarket where a kid could have picked it up.
Maybe not everyone has had the need for this type of knife and they just don't understand. There are certain situations and jobs that require certain material to be cut against hard surfaces like concrete. Have you ever installed carpet? This absolutely destroys knife edges and is one reason why replaceable blade utility knives exist. While on the job, you don't have time to sharpen/reprofile your PM2 every five minutes.
I used to install seamless aluminum rain gutters and used a utility knife many times a day cutting aluminum and roof shingles. I also used to repair concrete and asphalt roads and would use a utility knife to cut the expansion joint, most of the time against concrete. These are just a couple examples.
There are people who use/need these knives all day, not because they're lazy and don't know how to sharpen a knife, but because it is the best tool for the job.
Probably should have said yes but not for me... :D
