i end up using this thing like 1000 times a day while my 200$ kershaw sits in my pocket unused....im wondering if anyone makes a nice version of one of these....little slimmer maybe with assisted opening etc the 15$ version works fine and all im just wondering what else is out there

i dont know how to resize that crazy big pic i got from google :(

I don't know of anything...I doubt there's much of a market, seeing as those things are meant to get a lot of hard use and people don't really wanna spend a lot on something they're gonna throw around.

Those knives are awesome though, I used the hell outta mine when I was doing construction work.

Check out the new one from Milwaukee. The only thing I don't like about it is no extra blade storage. But it is so well designed and easy opening, I have forgave it that.

At HD. I can find a pic if you need.

Sears used to have one with a wood handle.

O.o that is niiiiiiice!

[Marlin]

Yeah, I've had it about a month now, Works for everything I use it for. Plus, the blade doesn't fall out when I strip wire, like that Kobalt one would do.

Check out these. I think they are the best.

that kobalt one is badass. I have one of them, works great. I would stick with that. if you are using it 1000 times a day and it is holding up good what more can you ask for!

[newracer]

I was working warehouse for a while and had a Husky that I got from Home Depot. Worked awesome.

[Guylee]

Wow looks like the folding box cutters are becoming a pretty big market [LOL]

[StagLefty]

I use a Husky from HD-quick change blade setup but no storage [Beer]

[SideShow Bob]

A short time back, maybe 2 years ago, I had a fancy version from Husky. It was shiney brass and wood on the handle.
But I dropped it from a bucket truck, then it got run over by a few semies before I could get down and retrieve it.

I like these ones. You have to have a tool to change out the blade. They are the least bulky ones of these I have tried.

[opie011]

I have a decent Stanley one but for whatever reason I use my ZT 0300 a lot at work and I really shouldnt[Bang]

What every happened to the old school cheap ones that held a single edge blade and pushed up from the bottom to open? I can find those stupid things anywhere...

I bought one of these at Bass Pro a couple of months ago but you can find them anywhere. BEST one I have ever owned so far. Can't say how long it will hold up but for the cheap price it won't break the bank if you need to end up replaceing it someday. The thing I love about it is that it is small and compact. It can fit in my change pocket in my jeans. This saves space in my pockets so I can carry a real knife just in case I should need that and can use the EAB to cut boxes and tape. Used to use one of these many times a day working in a warehouse and this one is my favorite so far.

Sounds like a scraper (?)

Nice, Though I don't think it's quite big enough to do some of the things I do with mine.
