Versatile. - I always have a utility knife in my pocket. It gets used daily. Over the years I've had a few dozen utility knives. They must be alive since they wander away and vanish. This OLFA knife is terrific. The handle is comfortable. The curve of the butt gives a good grip. The blade extends and retracts very smoothly. The blade (and the OLFA replacement blades) are the perfect example of "sharp." The coating on the blades seems to keep them cleaner so they glide through materials. I have come to prefer utility knives with snap-off blades for most jobs. There is always a sharp cutting tip just a snap away. The long blades extend into odd places to do odd things like retrieving a small item from a crack. The long blades also flex quite a bit which makes flush trimming easy. That works for paint prep, too. I recently had to paint the railing of a deck. A snap-off blade in a utility knife was the best tool for most of the prep work, with a little help from a standard scraper and a sanding block. The knife worked so well I only needed one sheet of sandpaper for 36 feet of painted railing, posts, and filler panels. The back side of these blades is also handy as a scraper when you don't need super sharpness. When Paul Seller talks about cutting a knife wall he could be talking about this utility knife. It's a great combo with a chisel and mallet on wood. I'm very happy with this new knife. With a 50-pack of blades I hope this one does not grow legs and walk. Review: I had no idea you could love a utility knife, but here we are - I had no idea that it was possible to care so much about a utility knife but I love this tool. It's very comfortable and secure to hold, the rubber is in the right places and grippy without being gummy. The fiberglass reinforced plastic in the handle is never going to break, it's very thick and tough. Aa a side note, whoever designs Olfa's molds does a fantastic job, the overmolding is perfect. The mechanism is very secure and feels great to use. The blade is held in the tip so that it gets as much reinforcement from the handle as it can and so cuts are very confident with no wavering or wandering. Super sharp blade with a nice durable edge. The metal tang at the end is surprisingly useful and will even help keep your blade sharper longer. How? There's all kinds of little things you might use (and dull) the edge of the blade for that you can use the tang for instead - creasing something, working something into a corner, prying. It even works as a flat blade screwdriver in a pinch. Definitely something this one has over other knives I've used. I am convinced this is as close to a perfect utility knife as you can get and for $10 there's no reason to settle for less. ## Features - RAZOR SHARP 18mm BLADE - Preloaded with LBB Heavy-Duty Ultra-Sharp Black Snap-Off Blade from Japanese tool steel for unmatched sharpness and edge retention. 18mm blade has 8 razor-sharp snap-off segments for industrial or construction applications. - FIBERGLASS REINFORCED HANDLE - Chemically resistant, fiberglass-reinforced handle with wraparound rubber grip ergonomically designed for comfort and control.

I used to have a ofla like this w/out the extra tool on butt and it did have a compartment to store an extra blade.** A: It may sound contrary to popular opinion but NOT having a storage compartment for extra blades is one of my favorite features of this knife. The extra thickness required for the storage compartment would ruin some of my favorite features of this knife - the comfort, feel, balance, and especially ease and quality of cutting. I've never liked those thick handles on box cutters that contain the extra blades. No other tool I use carries its bits, blades, etc. in the tool, so why have them in a utility knife? I keep extra blades for this where I keep all my other bits and blades, so they're easy to get when needed. Plus with the break-off blade, you break off the end rather than replace the blade until you go through all 8 pieces. So blade replacement is infrequent. **Q: Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?** A: ?....? **Q: Are there replacement blades in the handle as shown in the video?** A: Sorry for any confusion! It does not come with replacement blades, but it comes with the snap off blade in the video. The blade is scored at certain intervals so that the dull blade can be snapped off for a new edge. **Q: Does this cut plastic like sterilite storage containers tote?. Thanks!** A: I haven't tried that, but I don't see why it wouldn't. They do make heavier blades for this knife, so that might help. Because the break away style of the blade, you need to be careful with any tough cutting job to not have too much blade exposed or it becomes easier to snap off. I have snapped the blade segments off a number of times with difficult materials. I like this brand of knife so much more than the cheap big box store varieties I used to use. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp. Durable.

One thing to be mindful of, is that sometimes it can be easy to forget to slide the blade back in when you're not using it. So, if you have high-energy cats running around your art studio, be sure to always slide the knife back in when you're not using it!! ## Frequently Bought Together - OLFA 18mm Heavy-Duty Utility Knife (LA-X) - Multi-Purpose No-Slip Grip Utility Knife w/Reinforced Fiberglass Handle & Snap-Off Blade, Replacement Blades: Any OLFA 18mm Blade - OLFA 5009 LB-10B Snap-Off Heavy Duty Blade, 10 Pack - OLFA UltraSharp Black Snap-Off Heavy-Duty Blade --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/3675246-olfa-18mm-heavy-duty-utility-knife-la-x-multi-purpose](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/3675246-olfa-18mm-heavy-duty-utility-knife-la-x-multi-purpose) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
