anyone used one of these

I got one recently ish. Used it for the first few weeks but gone back to the Stanley knife know. Can't beat a new Stanley blade when you need one. Won't be buying any kind of electricians knife again personally, though I am sure they have there uses.

Oooh you brute Pete! One thing it does seem to me is sturdy. Your comment has put me off using it again, really don't want a sharp (ish) knife breaking when I am pressing down on it. Sounds like a potential recipe for disaster!

I use a wooden handled folding stanley these days. Have to say I really do like the vde knipex ones except blade life is not great.

I am.

Just thought it was a bit odd picking a US tool manufacturer and US vendor when there are so many UK sites to choose from.

I use a retractable Draper knife which was supplied FOC on a job I was working on. It uses standard Stanley type blades so there's no problem getting replacement blades; one thing I will say is there seems to be some variation in quality between manufacturers - some (I assume the cheaper ones) such as DeWalt don't seem to last long, which is fine if they're being supplied but if you're paying for them they can be a false economy.

If you're doing a lot of site work some sites can be particular about the type of knife you use - some only want you to have an automatically retracting blade.

Hi, I have one of the new CK ones, that has a craft knife blade and a penknife blade that both fold into a handle. The penknife blade is of an excellent quality and it keeps it's edge. The craft knife blade is eay to change but does not come out easily either. Brilliant tool.

Have you got a link?

Sorry, I cannot find the knife on the web, nor on the CK site. I have just thought that this may be a sample that was sent to me just before they are on general sale. I am sure they will be on the shelves soon, so if you can hang on a bit I am sure you won't be disappointed. I will do a bit more research by contacting CK, in the meantime for you.

To be honest I thought I had pasted the whole site, not just one knife

I have just found this link to a supplier of the knife. https://www.tool-net.co.uk/p-428115...fjpiiauST2bJL76L5q1N-xeY68mJY9J0W_RoClQzw_wcB hope it works.

I have a few knives ,including this one.
The only problem I have had with it is that the cover screws come loose.
Both blades lock , and it is a good tool.
I second the post about using 'Stanley ' replacement blades.
