Thanks for the tip.. Right now using this Stanley model because we have
a handful of them that were donated to the class by Stanley. It does
appear that this exact model may be discontinued as we could not find it
at any local retailer. Blades yes, handles no, but we should not need
any handles for awhile. There is a very similar metal version.

One of those snap off deals? Well, if you've got a supply of them go for
it. I've got one in the drawer but it falls into that gap between not
being as sturdy as the classic retractable utility knife and not as
precise as an X-Acto #11. It sounded like a good idea at the time.
Yes, I find them decidedly more risky in use. I prefer the old reliable
Stanley utility knife.

Those skinny things with the break-off blades are meant
for cutting the tape to open cartons - not for much more.

Even for that I find them suspect. Set the blade low on the utility
knife and you get the same effect with a much better grip. I have a few
of the large utility knives around here and they are the only ones I use.
