OLFA 9mm Stainless Steel Utility Knife (SVR-1) - Retractable, Auto-Lock

This knife is very sharp and has a quality feel.

The thumb piece to slide open blade is very thin. I solved that by creating an addon with my 3d printer. Great blades and knife.

Couldn't find my 30 year old Olfa ... so had to buy another one! After getting the new one, I found the old one ... go figure! The old one, used sooooo much, is still in brand new condition (a little wear on the retractable thingie, but nice to have the new one! Now to break in the new one so it slides as smooth as the old one! Nothing better than the Olfa, light, easy to use ... in my opinion, nothing more to say! It's my go-to knife always!

I picked up this utility knife for cutting wallpaper, and while it seemed like the perfect tool for the job, it didn’t perform as well as I had hoped. I’m not sure if it’s a technique issue, but the knife didn’t give me the sharp, clean lines I expected. Instead, it kept tearing the wallpaper rather than making smooth cuts. I tried adjusting the pressure and angle, but I still ended up with jagged edges that didn’t look great when I applied the wallpaper. The blade itself was sharp, but I think the design just didn’t lend itself well to the precision I needed for wallpapering. That said, it might work better for other tasks, like cutting cardboard or plastic, but for wallpapering, I was a bit disappointed. If you’re specifically looking for a tool for wallpaper, I’d suggest looking for one with a bit more control or a different blade design.

I’ve had mine for almost a year, and it has become one of my most-used “tools”. It is so small I keep it with pens and such in my EDC bag. I use it for opening packaging, which is nearly a daily task. I’ve also used it for cutting vinyl and magnets. The mechanism is so simple, and the design so elegant. It is truly a delightful tool to use. The knife position detents make a satisfying “snap”. The stainless body is sturdy, has a nice brushed finish, and rounded corners. Replacement blades are inexpensive and easy to find (even locally at big box hardware stores). I have 18mm Olfa knives that I use for breaking down cardboard and home-improvement projects, but this little one is the one I carry with me daily.

I love pruducts that are at once totally utilitarian and free of decoration as well as beautifully designed. This is a sublimely functional product that is a delight to use. Why all the superlatives? Because such well-designed and engineered products are rare—especially at a $9 price point. The stainless steel chassis has a gorgeous finish and feels light and elegant, but also totally solid. The butt cap which you can use to snap off used sections of blade works wonderfully and fits perfectly with no wiggle or play, and the blade mechanism is tactile and satisfying to use. I use it with the BBK05 refill blades, whose black surface finish contrasts terrificly with the brushed stainless steel. I am so very happy with this Olfa blade. Along with my other Olfa tools (especially the rotary cutters!), this blade is a joy to use. You’re going to be very pleased with this knife!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: i got it thinking it would be goos for cutting vinyl but its so small and thin i wouldnt risk it

A coworker left a note saying he lost his knife (he really wrote “someone stole my knife”). Later he found his knife and left it out for me to see when I came in on my shift. As soon as I clicked out the blade I knew I had to have one of these, I cut some vinyl stickers with this knife to mask the parts off too paint; they cut nicely and this razor didn’t get dull as quickly as the other snap razors I’ve been using. I’m a steelworker and I can say whatever steel Olfa makes their razor blades from is better than the made in China generic razors I get at work for free. This is a quality tool. Worth the price. I use it every day. Posting a picture I took after engraving my name on it (in case it comes up missing at work), I’m trusting in the pocket clip and the front pocket of my workshirt and my engraving to keep it in my possession.

Super qualité

Excelente herramienta, incluso será usado como cuchillo de tallado de madera; debido a que la hoja no se mueve en los cortes y es bastante delgada del mango, lo que permite cortes curvos y finos.

This is a really good quality cutting tool that is a small size making it convenient to have on hand. Arrived on time and as promised.

I worked as a graphics installer/ did a bunch of vehicle wrapping and work with 3M & Avery materials and this is an amazing knife to have. I used it for probably 95% of my day to day jobs for wrapping and fine detail work. It’s light, it fits in your tool pouch no problem, and a great price. I would probably never switch to a different knife again.

Está muy buen el tamaño y me encantó que trae repuesto de la navaja
