Olfa SVR-2 Slimline Stainless Steel Snap Knife with Pocket Clip, Grey

As always, olfa make another great product. The knife is really slim so you barely notice it when it's in your pocket etc. Quality is great and the blade that's included is of decent quality. Easy to use the knife, but would have been nice if the blade could lock in place when in use. It's still worth the price and is still a great knife. Would reccomend!

The media could not be loaded. Beautiful little knife, minimalistic and simple but a lovely example of Japanese hand tools.Not sure why it states “Grey” in the description. As you can see, the knife is fully stainless steel except for the black plastic slide control.

Gold standard as cutters go. You definitely get what pay for, really nice quality. Highly recommended.

I have this knife in my work belt and use it every single day. I have a few in the workshop but have one I use daily. I have probably used in the region of 40 blades through it and it is still going strong. It’s made really well and in a nice compact size for carrying every day.I bought some generic blades off Amazon instead of the Olfa official ones and they lasted no where near as long. The proper blades Olfa sell are far superior to the generic ones so I use them all the time now.

Normally I give detailed reviews, but OLFA products are just so good that there’s really very little to say, because every OLFA product is best in show and if you have OLFA, you have the best.I have the 30 degree version of this which is more pointy, I bought this because I accidentally bought the blades for this thinking I was buying the 30 degree version, and as I had a superflous pack of blades, I bought the knife to go with them.These have a sharper angle which makes them a better choice for larger less refined cuts. Each blade has a number of cutting edges, when the one you’re using is blunt, you simply extend the blade out and snap the blunt edge off, and now you’re back with another fresh, sharp blade.OLFA tools have never given me any problems, benit craft knifes or rotary cutters, I only ever buy OLFA knives now because anything else just isn’t as good.You pay a little more, but you’re getting a product that you know is good, high quality and fit for purpose, and with knives, a poor knife is probably going to injure you.

I wanted a small sharp knife for electrical work - to cut through insulation for stripping wires etc. (I hate using actual cable strippers). I wanted something smaller and with a finer blade than a standard "Stanley knife".I ordered this one, and one of the SAC-1 Graphics knives, by the same manufacturer Olfa SAC-1 Slimline Stainless Steel Graphics Knife.I find the SVR-2 better suited to my uses - although I am surprised to feel any difference. It almost as if this knife has a keener edge. I use it particularly to cut around the insulation of a wire without damaging the copper or silver strands inside, and then slide of the unwanted section of insulation (ie stripping the wire). I don't know why, but I found that the SVR-2 gives me a cleaner, quicker cut than the SAC-1.As an added bonus, the SVR-2 came with two spare blades that I was not expecting.Another unexpected feature is the metal pocket clip that is a part of the knife body. Other manufacturers sometimes provide a plastic clip that slides into the end of the knife as a sort of stopper - and has to be removed to replace the blade. This metal clip is much more secure - both because it is an integral part of the knife, and also because it is metal.If you need a small sharp "modelling" knife - then I would definitely recommend this manufacturer and this model in particular.

I've had a similar knife, that I use daily, for years but unfortunately I lost the top of it and now the blade tends to come out. So I needed to replace it but all the others I'd seen were the plastic ones, which are a bit thicker. I was really delighted to find this one, it's perfect - nice and slimline and fits well in my breast pocket alongside my pen. It's all stainless steel and really sleek looking. The 9mm blade comprises of 13 snap off pieces so there's always a sharp edge readily available. There are also 2 spare blades enclosed. Excellent value for money and great to use. I'd certainly recommend this for anyone who needs a reliable blade that will last for years.
