Customer Reviews

I’m really impressed by the service here. Ordered some replacement blades for my cutter and they arrived a few days later in perfect condition exactly what I needed. Also they were nicely packaged. The original cutter I’ve used constantly for four years now and still going strong. As many other brands mean I must throw away the cutter when the blade becomes blunt. Adding to more plastic waste we really don’t need. So simply changing the blade each time is a brilliant solution. Thanks again for the great service. Now I just need to know where to dispose safely of the used blades. Any ideas please let me know. Peace N

I have been wanting to buy a new snap-off 18mm utility knife for a number of years. I have two old ones where the blade had started to slip. I purchased a cheap version on Amazon, and returned it as it was even worse. I then came across the name of "Olfa", and the fact that they actually invented the idea of the snap-off blade. I purchased my first Olfa knife and I am delighted with it. I wish I had discovered them years ago. I am only a little older that the first Olfa snap-off knife. If I ever have to buy another snap-off knife in the future (maybe a 9mm version) it will certainly be from Olfa. I wish I found you earlier!
