Adam can't get enough of this new utility knife that he's been using in the cave! On its surface, it looks like any standard box cutter with snap-off 9mm blades, but this knife also holds extra blade cartridges in its handle for automatic reloading when you finish an entire blade. It holds up to five blades and is super satisfying to use--perfect for quick projects like foamcore or cardboard crafting!

Adam - "It's not too expensive."
Amazon dynamic pricing - "Just you wait."
I once found a 1/4 ounce bottle of Testor black paint going for over $800. Everytime I went to take another look, the price would go up a little until it was over a $1k.
@@ranwolf76 zI had that happen with a $14 poncho. over the coarse of a few weeks it hit over $30k. I think I have screen shots somewhere
Currently none on Amazon. Lol
Odd, one of them sky-rocketed in price...before this video, and came down a bit since.
one time, not even fucking joking, i saw super man 64 for 978 bucks
That sinking feeling when you're sneaking around Adams shop at night... and you hear the tell-tale sound of a snap-knife re-racking behind you
Aaaand its gone!
Adam single-handedly depletes Amazon stock on quality snap knives.
Every.Single.Time.
can't find a similar one on aliexpress or ebay either, only bigger versions.
There is a plastic version that holds up to 5 blades. Extra blades might make up for the lighter weight.
theres a bunch of very similar ones on the uk store
The one I bought is certainly heftier but still available on Amazon with no change in price. It does that cool self loading thing, too.
I get nervous now every time I see Adam handling something sharp.
Right? I'm glad his middle finger is looking like 90% healed.
I know how you feel. But to be fair, it is Adam, not Link.
Now we all know what it feels like to be Adam's mother
I mean as ive always heard, them things are the most dangerous tool in the shop more so then any table saw or bandsaw
@@boperadotto8703 I was going to make the same comment but replace, "Mother" with, "Wife"
at one point, every existing tool in the world will be the favorite tools of adam xD
Please no!
They will then be “Currently unavailable.”
Huh, that’s good news for me
He likes tools. I like cake, if' I'm eating a well made cake, what ever flavor it is my favorite cake I totally understand where he's coming from. Also this is a pretty cool snap knife, I could cut cake with it.
in the same way its just a matter of time before someone gives every tool the love it needs to become actually not garbage

I instantly recognized that knife as a NT Cutter knife. They make amazing stuff, and most of it is real cheap. My favourite of their knives is the L-500. The grip is great and I love that you lock it with a knob and not in specific increments like so many others.
I actually have a li'l story about one of these things. My dad had a L-500 when he was studying to become an architect some 30 odd years ago. For all those years, he kept and used it thoroughly (which has to be a testament to the build quality of these things) until one fateful night, a couple of years ago. He accidentally burned one side of it bad when he forgot it on top of our stove. It hadn't become unusable, but had a black, ugly side, and a faint, but constant smell of burned plastic. He was of course very sad about that.
Flash forward to when I started studying art and tech. In the art supply shop at my uni, I found the exact same knife, as in unchanged for who knows how many years. I had to have it, so I immediately bought two: one for me, 'cause of the knife I had borrowed from my dad all my life, and one for him to replace the old burned one. He got immensely happy to get a brand new version of his favourite knife.
Quick side note, the sound the locking knob makes is amazing and if you get one, you'll have a hard time not fiddling with it a whole bunch.
Tl;dr: L-500 is a real good knife from NT Cutter. Dad had that knife, but accidentally burned it, so I bought him a a new one and one for myself.
When you can even shout "COVER ME, RELOADING" with a knife :P
Sounds like something you could hear from a slice of life anime.
Ugh, that conjured a distressing mental image. Like, why would you need to reload a knife? Obviously, because you've snapped all the bits off inside of various stab wounds.
@@ReverendTed I could be wrong but doesn't the anime Attack on Tittian "reload" their blades?
@@kairon156 I haven't seen AoT, but I checked into it and you are correct! Seems like they replace blades on the fly as they're dulled or damaged!
@@ReverendTed Or you're such a bad-ass fruit ninja, that you have no downtime to be grabbing a new blade xD
“Dealy-Bob”, “Foink”, “Boop”. These are the Sounds of Savage
"Don't mean to get too technical on you" lol
This is the best advice from a Tested video I’ve ever received: “Stay safe. Don’t touch yourself.” So wise
DancingSpacePotato “At least not in public.”
"dont stick your hand in the lathe" was also a great one.
Pretty sure he said "cut", not "touch", but I guess neither also works
@@akraus53 He did, yeah. I thought Potato was making a reference to the usual Corona advice.
@@awmperry sorry if this is close-minded but even if there was no corona you shouldn't touch yourself in public... ;)
With his mom sorting legos in the background I'm waiting to here him yell "MOOOOM! I'm trying to do my show!"
I was a carpenter's apprentice a few years back. My teacher bought me one of those nice Milwaukee multi-blades with the internal, flip out, compartment to hold ~5 extra blades. I love it, it saves my life, I find I'll end up needing it or wishing I had it on me at least once a day.
My father has been using these kinds of knives since I was a kid (cutting foam core and making signage), so by herritage I'm using them quite often. Didn't know this design existed, but managed to pick one up when browsing for unrelated things at the hardware store. Thank you for helping me expand my tool collection (I'm running out of space)!
This video is 3 years old.... I just went ahead and bought this exact snap knife as well as the Heavy duty one. Adam... your videos are so informative yet fun to watch. Love the content, and Happy Holidays. :)
Stanley 19 or 25 mm knife is also reloading like that
Yeah, I just have to assume the one-time-use ones are more the norm in the US and thats why this is a big deal for Adam..
The reload feature is handy, but I never felt that my OLFA knife ( they invented the snap knife) was lacking because it didn't do that. Probably this is because I mostly use it for small jobs. For bigger jobs I'm more likely to use the MakerKnife.
Thank you for this. I’ve been using one of those typical utility knives, and the whole thing just fell apart on me (in a way that’s difficult to repair) right when I needed it to trim up some pvc material in a tight, awkward spot.
An absolute go-to for me since I discovered these. So great for carving foam!
My dad had one like that years ago, they're great to use.
As a kid I used to empty and refill the blades for fun. Great memories.
My experience with that design is that the blade pulls out when pulling hard in tough material. But perhaps yours is better than the ubiquitous hardware store models. I'm a huge Olfa fan. They're indestructible and child proof. Becky Stern has a good video on why she loves them too. Great vid!
I was basically going to write the exact comment word for word without the Becky Stern part. I work in a. Print shop where our finishing department literally cuts with these knives all day every day and there are bins of these kinds of designs out of circulation because they prematurely release the blades or just generally don’t hold up to constant all day use. We have maybe 15 to 20 Olfas spread out across different work stations all over because they are the best. The blade truly will lock into place, and the handle feels solid.
I got a Olfa for straight blades to use on synthetic felt paper for roofing so I could switch from my fiskar hook blade for tar paper , and the olfa got jammed full of granulars and bent at the top metal enough that I have to bang it in a certain position to get the blade to set in place before I use it every time. Let alone needing to use my other blade to clean it every couple days. It depends the usage I guess but I found fiskar makes a really slick simple design where it’s just a double sided blade at the top with a sheath that swings by the push of a side button. Impossible to jam and it holds blades inside. Can put both straight and/or hook inside if you lose your other one
At work we all use a knife by OLFA and it's one of our "always carry" tools. It's super convenient and hardly takes up any space.
That's the first kind of tool i already had at home. Feeling so sophisticated!
Look at that, finally have a tool that Adam has very cool. I got mine from Japanese bookstore about 115-16 years ago.
Adam recommend..... BOOM sold out 😂
I absolutely love snap knives, because they are extremely sharp, and if it becomes dull just break of a single snap link and your back to the races. I use this most notably when building designs out of 1/8 inch cardboard, and man that blade cuts it like butter.
I have a larger version of that for years where the magazine actually holds about 10 blades.
Sounds tactical AF lol
me too, i got it with a makita drill box. but its garbage, if something you are cutting grabs hard on the blade, the whole blade slides out. i had this experience with about 10 different ones. sorry for bad english
and the thing for snapping blades is on the bigger ones at the heel( this side where you open up to get to the magazine)
Same here. Mine came from Aldi in the UK.
Dirt cheap and works really well.

co worker had one that was HUGE more like a sabre than snabblade
Look at the tough built utility knife that’s magazine fed- so satisfying
As a graphic designer I've been using the Olfa snap blade knife for over a decade now working with vinyl graphics. NT cutter is just as good as Olfa and the edges are very sharp.
Amazon is out of stock on that exact knife but I purchased 2 others from the same manufacturer and must say that they are very nice. Thanks Adam for helping me spend my tool money!
Iv got mine Stanley probably 15years ago with multiple blades and it is still 100% working
Have a great snap-knife from Stanley that works the same way. It also has a locking function to keep the blade from coming out if you cut through something sticky. Two things I particularly like...it’s got a meaty yellow plastic handle and broader blades, so you can use it for heavy duty, box cutter-type tasks but it’s still agile enough to do xacto blade work in a pinch... a great multitasker tool.
Lookin' good man! Keep up the great work and stay safe!
I've never been a fan of snap knives. I always preferred the bigger, bulkier, and more durable utility knives. After watching this video, now I want this. Damnit Adam!
Bought this today. Thanks for the head's up!
I have one of those and at the end is a dial screw that you can tighten to hold onto the blade to prevent it from moving or slipping out. I find that handy. I like my auto load box cutter too.
Thank you for this video. I bought one and they are the best.
Saw that sitting on the table in the previous video and recognized the shape. NT cutter makes some of the best ones out there. I personally have the A1-P but I'll add this one to my "to-get" list
NT, Olfa, and if you want to go to exotic territory. Search for KAI S-001, although it can only be fitted with their own blades.
I’ve always hated these snap knives. Might try this one. Thanks for the positivity! However, they’re SOLD OUT at Amazon, most likely a direct result of this video.
That's what happens to every product he links
I wonder what the seller is thinking xD

eBay has them.
Have to be very light handed the blade will snap when u don't want it to
Love to see a video of Adam going to Akihabara in Tokyo and looking through all of the tools in their electronics markets. Lots of gold like this in there.
KAI cutter is a must buy. That thing is bloody hard to find.
This makes me happy, because it's the same basic design as Schick Injector single-blade razor, which is what I use for shaving. I think you can still buy handles for them new, but the one I have is from the 1950s, and refill injectors are still readily available.
"Gun magazine for snap knife blades" Well, I'm sold ! That's awesome. I'm actually in need of one for some projects around the house, so, thanks for the link!
UK has entered the chat

I've known these as Stanley knives for forever, although the original ones had a two-ended blade you would flip around when it got dull. I have both a small as well as a larger Stanley Snap Knife here, both featuring the reloadable cartridge, as well as blade locking. The larger one also features a thumbscrew to lock the blade even more tightly. An integrated snap-guide also locks into the back of both tools.
I have a similar knife with a bigger blade at work, but it's made of higher quality plastic with rubber to stabelise the grip.
It's really nice to "reload" the knife like that, it saves some time and if you want a sharper blade because the one you used is a bit dull, you can change it in a few seconds.
I use these knifes for cutting foam and the blades resharpen very nicely. I like the fact you can have a long razor sharp blade.
Hi Adam, this is one of my favourite tools as well ! Being a PSV technician a good knife is essential!

the "snappy guy" and blade built-in "clips" sold it for me lol. I'm buying one today-thanks Adam.
Not only did I not know snap knives were a thing, but this one is incredible! Damn you Adam, you have all the coolest tools.
Thanks for sharing this video & information. I don’t own any of these but I’m considering buying some !
Have one myself, made by Stanley here in The Netherlands. Although an interesting concept at first (trust me, I was just as enthusiastic as Adam :P ), wait until you have to cut something sticky or rough. Once the blade gets caught by the material you're cutting, the whole blade yanks forward and in the worst case gets pulled out because there is no locking system on the (for lack of accurate term) slider button.
Maybe it's just me and my horrible cutting technique, but it happened more than once ;) If the slider would lock, I'd buy it yesterday! @Adam maybe something to think about for your line of awesome tools?
I have the DeWalt branded snap knives and you can't pull the blade out by the blade itself. It has a very solid positive lock. I know nothing about the one Adam is showing, but if it locks like the DeWalt it will not have the problem you speak of. I have used the Stanley snap knives and have experienced the problem you speak of and you are 100% correct about that one.
My Stanley has a thumbscrew on the back side that locks the blade. I can't remember ever needing to use it.
Sounds like you need a regular box cutter
Haha, ik vond het al niet zo heel bijzonder. Dacht dat dit een redelijk standaard feature was in die dingen...

A Stanley FatMax is a snap knife I use often, it has multiple blades as well, can swap the blades the same as this one, the snap off tool is built in and can be popped out, and the blade can be locked in position. Has a fair weight to it, and a textured grip.
I feel like when I watch an episode of Adams tool show I instantly getting to eBay or amazon to find the tool for myself. (If I don’t own it already) if I already have it, I just reach out for it and handle it while watching the episode :D Thanks Adam for this awesome show!
For most of these product recommendations I just go "huh, interesting" and then every once and a while I come across a video like this which solves a specific set of problems I thought bothered only me in the whole, wide world. I love the internet.
The retraction sound is the best part.
I have had this for about 4 years. Both big and small blade knive.
That's a brilliant invention!
That's cool. I've got a couple of neat knives along the same lines that I've had for years:
.
First one is, in effect, a double-sided snap-knife: you put snap-knife blades in one side, and either a wood or metal-cutting keyhole saw blade in the other. Both retract, so it's a really handly thing to just drop in the bottom of a crowded tool box. It's easy to break the saw blades, but that's true of any saw blade that's only supported at one end.
.
The other one is a magazine knife for Stanley-pattern blades. It holds the blades in a rotary magazine in the back of the handle (which is sculpted to a nice fat hand grip shape) and you extend and retract them with a locking slide on the top. When the blade is dull, you retract it, rotate the knob at the back end, and index a new one. When they've all been used at one point, you take the cartridge out, flip it over, and all the other points are available. When both the points on all the blades have been blunted, you take the whole cartridge out and swap it for a new one. I bought a big pack of cartridges when I bought the knife 20 years ago, and I havn't got to the end of them yet.
Damn that’s a clever and most of all practical design! I want one 💪🏻
Right on! Looks like a great design! I love the tool tips!!! 💥🚀🚀🚀☘️💫
I have one or two already -- they also make great letter openers if you extend the blade out 5 or 6 segments and slice carefully at an angle well away from your fingers. Opens packages and tough plastic shipping envelopes that normally require healthy teeth and a stick of dynamite (and a match.) It is as close to a miracle tool as you can get - Now if you could only buy one and a pack of refills. Thanks Adam, thanks a lot!
Am always bad at snapping these knife. Had to go hunt for a good one and found something similar to this and man I am loving it. Also managed to slice myself with it few times because I forgot it houses super sharp blade.
I have a large version of that knife I bought at Canadian Tire roughly 15 years ago such a great knife.
Cheap, simple, durable, and with an action that never slips, breaks, or fails. Edding M18, the M1 Garand of box cutters. I've had mine since they first produced them decade and so ago, and it has never failed me. Yes, it's made out of plastic, but it's not the cheapo kind. Bonus, it's aesthetically pleasing to look at. Definitely lines up with the edges of the table.
These are so ridiculously useful.
Brilliant.
NT cutter (the brand of this knife) is a hidden gem and my go-to. Their handles and blades are made in Japan but not much more cost than Chinese stuff. This knife is their most expensive model, but they also offer an ABS version of this that’s only around $7 and built to last.
I love NT Cutters! Been using them for over a decade now..
I use a gerber legend. Love it, had it years
OMG, I just found my old knife a few weeks ago, Bought it 25 years ago @ Sheridan Collage. Stanley model 10-480 (I think they still make these) and it has a side lock!
I have so many snap-knife blades. They're great for cutting thick foam and I use them as cheap disposable exacto knives (to save my exacto blades for the good stuff.)
As I started to work as a electronics engineer. I got my first snap knive. And it was also from the same Japanese manufacturer NT-Cutter. I never found better snap knifes than from that company, even not being the multi-blade version.
i use an 18mm snap knife with aluminum internals thats cast into a plastic housing with rubber grips have a set of ceramic blades in it atm as i work in wet conditions quite often and not having to worry about rust is great
They’re good little knives. I use them a lot and sometimes use other box cutters
Thanks Adam, I just followed your links for this snap knife and of course it's totally out of stock and Amazon has no idea when or if it will be back in stock.
Dream, shattered
I have a Metabo snap knife from a drill bit set that does the same it’s really handy
That is pretty effin' slick.
Awesome Utility Knife !!!!!!!!!!
I have used some NT-cutters long time, I really like the AD2P version, really smooth operation compared to olfa's chunky clicks, it's also very slim and light. Also discovered the 30 degrees blade with nt-cutter, they are now my favorite.
+1 for the model AD-2P NT Cutter
Just ordered my NT-Cutter AD2P. Can’t wait for it to arrive.
Hey love your videos keep it up
They also make an excellent metal scrib if you use the none sharp edge. It stays sharp scrib line for a long time.
Epic! I've been using an X-Acto one for a few years now. My old metal one, a Stanley, popped apart ftom just a 10' foot drop :(
I'm gonna try the one you showcased.
I have a 25mm version of one of these by Craftright. It's probably not the best example of one of these 'cassette' knives, but as Adam said, they have a nice heft to them, and the quality if pretty good. It also has a little section on the back of the knife that slips off and you can use to snap off the end section of the blade with.
Olfa L-2 are my snapblade of choice.
first reactions was; "But the weightless feeling of the plastic ones is what I like",,,ok, "But they all have a part built into them to break off the blade",,,,,, Then the staple gun style loading of blades now ,, "That's Genius ! " TY for sharing with the class.
Thats so interesting since in Norway my dad have such a thing and I am very used to it. And if you buy it in a hardware store, that is a very common design.
Most snap knives I've used have the safe snap off tool built into the base. My work one is red with a black end cap, it's in the black cap.
It's really a nice box cutter model
I love that you call the tool for snapping off the blades The Little Snappy Guy. That should be its trademarked name.
With the little plastic ones. They also have a blade snapper built in. It’s in the “cap” part.
I never knew what to call those things! I have 2 that I’ve just acquired over the years and I use them for everything. I would love if Tested made their own bc the ones I have are those light weight plastic ones.
That looks like a pretty nice tool, but I want an integrated blade snapper on my snap knives! You'll never have to run and find your replacement blades but you'll always be looking for some tool to snap the ends off with this one. I love my Olfa Silver. It is just the stamped steel part, with no extra casing. Very compact, beautiful, comes with a pen clip, and actually fits in a pen pocket. Hard to beat.
I've a similar one from toolcraft that has a lock screw to hold the blade tight when cutting with higher force.
I got one of these for the larger blade style ( non snapping version, the ones you remove and rotate to get a fresh cutting surface for construction ) and it could hold something like 6.. sold by Aldi, branded Workzone. Can't find that anymore but there are a lot of places which sell them. Quite useful and reloading it was easy because it had a door you could just load them through instead of removing the entire mechanism..
Got a Stanley Fatmax for about 10 years now, paid like 10 Euros back then, still in perfect condition and it´s used every single day in my job...
So super nice
4:20 nice
I have several of these from the same brand... they’re awesome,
1:17. Cue Sade, smooth operator.
my favorite utility knife is the Olfa SVR2. I’ve run through 10 of those in the past year easy, they’re bombproof and feel like a dream
wait run through 10 of the blades or the bodies themselves??
Wait... you destroy 10 SVR-2 last year?
This can get as addictive as reloading a stapler. Best part of an stapler btw.
I think Adam Savage is my guardian angel. Like, if I ever meet an angel who has been looking out for me in the wings, he’ll look, act, and be Adam Savage.
Genius!
