Review: Great knife with a few correctable issues - My new Stanley razor/utility knife arrived this afternoon. I generally do not review products on here until I've had it for awhile, but felt I needed to address some issues with it that numerous people on here had complaints about. I bought this not to replace my Fastback, but to supplement it, mainly for marking wood for cutting. I realized that this knife will be used for far more than that. I'm viewing it as a sturdier version of an X-Acto. Great feel in the hand, good for precision work and folds up to fit easily in a pocket. The problems appeared in my early attempts to load a blade. The directions on the package are meager at best, so I viewed the only Youtube video I could find that shows that process. I had all kinds of trouble with that and spent about an hour with my attempts. And then I realized a couple of things. He shows reassembling the knife with the new blade facing the rear. I couldn't get things assembled correctly and the blade hit one of the sides of the knife when folding it. I had to manually pull the blade towards the center to keep it from hitting (and dulling the blade). The folding and opening process also made me very nervous....its a VERY sharp blade. My solutions. I found that that blade point should face forward on reassemble and if it impacts the side of the frame on folding, it's not lined up correctly on the front screw and plastic mechanism. I also found an easy way of opening and closing it, safely. The knife is not a real "switchblade" and doesn't pop open or closed. So, to close it, I hold my thumb and forefinger of my left hand on either side of the front screw. The right hand pulls the rear plastic piece backwards just enough to release the blade. I then lower the back of the blade towards the work surface and tap it down (against the spine of the blade). The blade folds back enough from doing that to then grab either side of the blade with that left hand and safely push it into the handle. Easy and safe. And if the blade is aligned so it doesn't contact the side of the frame, you don't even need to fold it back with your fingers.....you can just continue pushing the spine against the work surface until it's folded back. You definitely need to practice all of the above, but it's worth it. Great knife Review: Stanley 0-10-598 (UK) and 10-049 (USA) - I just got both the 0-10-598 and the 10-049, and these pocket knives are excellent. The UK 0-10-598 is easily more solid and better designed than the USA 10-049 version. I will explain below. The 0-10-598 does have some minor finish gaps, which i used a file and sandpaper and remove material from key areas, and this knife is buttery smooth and allows the spring mechanism to rachet cleanly. The brand new knife is a bit stiff and the plastic retract mechanism is spongy, but once you clean it up with a file inside, this thing snaps into place like butter. The design of the blade pinch mechanism, once cleaned up, locks in place with literally zero play or slop. The USA 10-049 however has a different design, and it cannot easily be tightened up like the 0-10-598 no matter how much file you try because the design is a bit different. The 10-049 does have a thicker blade than the 0-10-598, and the USA version is slightly longer handle. Overall due to the better solid feeling the 0-10-598 is much better experience in my opinion. And these blades are very sharp and hold for quite a long time. ## Features - Simple spring mechanism enables the blade to be locked securely in the extended position or stored safely within the body - Color: Silver - Can be stored safely within the body ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001IWDBU | | Best Sellers Rank | #65,811 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #300 in Utility Knives | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | STANLEY | | Brand Name | STANLEY | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 2,080 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05000366105987 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Handle Type | Manual-Retractable | | Included Components | Utility Knife | | Item Length | 6.38 Inches | | Item Type Name | Utility Knife foldable | | Item Weight | 0.06 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Stanley | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Product Style | Simple | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** STANLEY - **Color:** Silver - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 05000366105987 - **Handle Material:** Plastic - **Item Length:** 6.38 Inches - **Item Weight:** 0.06 Kilograms - **Manufacturer:** Stanley - **Material:** Metal - **Style:** Simple ## Images ![0-10-598 Utility Knife foldable, Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-oBX9NRTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife with a few correctable issues *by R***R on October 29, 2021* My new Stanley razor/utility knife arrived this afternoon.
