That L-1 is the gold standard of snap off knives. I had been scouring the earth for the best utility knife. All day at work, I cut open and break down boxes, literal hundreds of boxes a day, non-stop. I bought all different kinds of knives from different websites and some of them worked ok but none really "ticked all the boxes". Then I found an old beat up L-1 lying around the my workplace and ended up using it the next day. I completely fell in love. It is what I never knew I wanted until I was forced to use it. I feel soo ridiculous for buying all those other expensive obscure knives. This thing (L-1) is the perfect synthesis of materials and execution. I actually don't buy new blades. I use a Lansky TurnBox and resharpen the same blade every day. The super thin snapoff blades are super easy to resharpen. I takes 2 minutes.

Cant go wrong with "Made in Japan"

The German made knife you rehandled, isn't just a heirloom knife ,it's one of the best knifemakers in the world. Actually, they make the best Chef's knives to this day!!! The handle came out awesome!!! The brass liners look great, the wood fit the vintage blade perfect too!!! It will serve your kids and their kids too, I'm sure for that!!!

Thoses are the bomb! the serrations act almost like an automatic feeder, they're amazing

Thanks for the review and nice work on the chef knife

Yes Olfa was the original. Been using Olfa for decades with good performance. Customer service went the distance for me too. No reason to go with a copycat. Keep them clean and lightly oiled they'll work like new for decades.

I could watch this on 16-hour loop

love your videos all about made in 🇯🇵 🇺🇸🇨🇭 next i hope reviews made in 🇩🇪

I had the Olfa craft knife to use for cutting bait fish when seawater fishing. Make sure you get the stainless steel replacement blades when buying.

I only recently found out how good Olfa knives are. I've seen them for years, but I only found out about their history in the last month. I used to think they were just like any other snap-off utility knife on the market. I had no clue they invented the snap-off blade design way back in 1956. Ever since then I've been buying a lot of their models, just to have a nice little collection of them, all starting with the L-1.

Excelente

Based on my experience with NT Cutter L-500RP and L-500GP when compared to OLFA it seems that NT Cutter have more blades movement especially when the blade fully extended like when i use serated or saw blades.

That A-400 is nice. I have the Olfa scissors and they are awesome.

That Olfa craft knife can be had for like $3 where I live. Insane value for money. This is why I love Japanese engineering.

👍

Can you please help me to make sure if the wheel on OLFA HOK-1/107B can be used on OLFA CK-2/34B?

Kds better than olfa
