Review: Solidly good tool - I have used Stanley knives in the past and found them clunky and awkward to use, and as for changing the blades on the older models by having to take the knife apart - nightmare!!! But this new generation of Stanley knife is superb! It is still a chunky, heavy tool but feels well balanced in one's hand, and is supremely comfortable to hold, and I don't have particularly large hands for a woman. It is robust and feels solidly made. The small recess in the bottom of the knife enables you to (as some reviewers have pointed out) cut string etc. but it is perfect for stripping electric wiring! The rubber thumb rest almost forces you to hold the knife correctly, safely, and in an ergonomic way for the best cut. Brilliant! Having the spare blades in the knife handle compartment is an added bonus. No more hunting around in tool boxes and drawers! Changing the blades is a doddle. I really can't see why some reviewers have complained about it. Provided you push the slide right to the top, it's then simply a matter of pressing the yellow button in the side and sliding the blade out, and sliding a new one in, until it clicks. As to the packaging, once again, if people took ten seconds to examine it, they would see that there is a section of the card in the slider bit that is perforated. Give it a good hard tug, the perforation breaks and the card is then easy to just slide out of the knife. If you click on the photo below, you can see the break, on the right hand side of the card, just at the top edge of the image of the blade, indicated by an arrow.
Review: Bought to use at work, cutting boxes and plastic wrap - Arrived next day as a prime member, well packaged. I use it every day at work cutting boxes open and cutting down shrink wrapped pallets of boxes with the slot on the bottom edge that allows the shrink wrap to enter and cuts it as you pull it down, with the blade retracted. button at back push in to open storage space in handle to store stanley blades. has a large loop at back that I have attached a quick release catch to attach to my belt loop. Also very sturdy been dropped multiple times on to concreted floor and not shown any sign of damage. Blade can be changed quickly with a button on front of knife, fully extend blade hold blade and press button you can then pull blade out. Good slider button to extend and retract bladed, totally safe so blade will not come out while in your pocket. Good solid heavy feeling. Made to last.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Help please!!  i can't even get the card off this knife as it's firmly wedged into the mechanism!  trying for about 10 days! can anyone help at all?**
A: Took me an hour to figure this out. Completely unsatisfactory design. Stupid in the extreme. I had to unscrew it apart to get that cardboard out. To do that  press the black button that opens up the section where you can store blades. You will then be able to see the two screws you need to unscrew. Carefully prise the body of the knife a little apart, get the cardboard out, rescrew it. 2 star review only because of this madness!!!

**Q: Why did this knife come with NO blades???**
A: You would need to ask the manufacturer I suppose!  Ours didn’t come with any spare blades either and it was extremely difficult to get into the packaging!  Not really that overwhelmed with the knife as a whole.

**Q: Usually dispatched within 1 to 2 months? Is this right?**
A: I ordered mine on the 23rd of September and it was delivered on the 24th. It may be out of stock at present but they are expecting it to be available within the time quoted.

**Q: I brought one of these from Wilkos do you need to buy the blades separately?**
A: It comes with about 5, always good to have more

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good knife, shame about the packaging
*by M***I on 15 August 2025*

Typical sturdy Stanley knife but the instructions on how to open the packaging are a disgrace and could result in injury, simply sorted, just wear armour plated gloves. Alternatively, spend an hour studying online videos before attempting to open the packaging. The knife, when you get it out of the packaging is OK.
