It's my favourite knife for a lot of uses including leathercrafting. What i like is how it keeps the blade really straight when cutting. Other penknives that i have allow the blade to wobble too much.
Glad this can help! Be warned, I've heard conflicting feedback about the durability of the closing mechanism - but at this price it's still worth it in my mind.
nt-cutter has some heavy duty carbon steel 30degree blades (BD-1800) for their knifes (like for the AD-2P self-locking cutter). I'd be curious to see how they compare to SDI's. Looking at the video I think they are compatible (ofla and nt-cutter blades are with each other tools at least, I guess it's some standard).
i dropped that usefull knife few times and the fixator mechanisms stopped to hold the blade the way it does. its still holds, but now you CAN pull with your fingers. i was trying to fix that but cant find a way, nor the video tutorial. there is spring in there and i have no any clue, where it belongs. please, help, desperately need in advice, dont wanna switch that beautifull knife to a new one
Ah shoot I'm sorry to hear yours is not working anymore :/ I haven't needed to take it apart yet so am not able to help you here. Hope you find what you're looking for online!
Sdi also my favorite for leather crafting, so far on their line up my best pick is sdi ingenuity no.0443C , i just love the design the handle is really good also have some feature. They are not really last longer but quite enough to handle 5 project wallet before u cut the piece of blade. Well the replacement is very cheap just for 84cents i got 1 pack replacement (1 pack = 10pcs , 1pcs = 10 blade) so i think is good for beginner even professional level. (But i prefer olfa because im olfa fanboy h3h3h3h3) 😁
Still, these blades need to be honed from time to time, even if you're using Japanese style blades tempered up to 60 by Rockwell :) Also, it's nice to have a knife for a heavy job, this one is quite delicate.
Agreed! I have some hefty knives for bigger work and some wonderful Japanese skiving knives ... but this is the one I end up using 90% of the time lately.

Completely agreed, at this price point it's simply unmatched!
Does the blade wobble back and forth or side to side on this SDI utility knife please?
Thanks for the review. I'd seen them on Etsy and thought about ordering one, but wasn't sure if the quality was there. I think I'll order one now.

I was late to the party with these knives. Now I’ve got three of them.

No, it's very stable in all directions.

Hi there! You can take it apart and bend the tip inwards ever so slightly with a hammer. It worked with mine!
I use this all the time, for the price($5-6 over here) it's amazing.
Wow, I didn't know it could be found for so cheap :o

I broke 3 in a year. The safety lock just stops working. It's not as good as he seemed.
Ah shoot, I hope mine holds up better/longer than that :/
nt-cutter ad2p and olfa sac-1 are decent alternatives. They are both quite lightweight but so far I have no complains about either.
@@mpenet yep. using olfa sac-1
@@Eto_Ilyuha I prefer the olfa sac-1 handle to nt's but nt's blade are better, so I just use nt blades in sac-1 now :)
This kind of knife is not durable
Depends what you're looking for in a knife ;)
