Stanley knife blades

[8ob]

I thought carpet fitters used the same blades as the felt roofing guys, touching concrete shouldn't affect them

Not sure if they do direct but give them a call and they should tell you where to buy them........supposed to be the best there is....personally Im no expert so its just a word of mouth recommendation.....but they are made in Sheffield......having said that so are Swann Morton who someone commented on earlier......I go past Swann Mortons regularly, on my way to watch Sheffield Wednesday.

Thanks, but for the small amount I'd be buying [not a thing I use too much, a Stanley knife - one drew real blood a while back ] I don't suppose they send. I'm leaning towards the STs - the name appeals to me.....

I have used every type of cutting knife at work and the best and strongest I have used is the dewalt one it is sim and feels right https://www.google.co.uk/search?sou......1..gws-wiz.....0..0i131j0j0i10.4bKrQUGbfO0

But....but....but...that would mean spending money on one, when I already have a Stanley one.

My favorite are these. They get gummed up though and need stripping every 6 months or so.

This one's been holding up well though. Cross between the above and a standard.

But I've just spotted this.

I want it. I'm going to have to buy it.

That was my favourite too, till some sod nicked it. . I'd quite like a "Maker Knife", it was a Kickstarter by Giaco Whatever, very cool but I can't bring myself to spend forty quid on it, especially when I've got hundreds of standard "99E" pattern ones.

I just sharpen my blades on a diamond stone, it’s quicker than changing the blade,

In fact I have been regularly using a Stanley 199 for the last couple of years, and it’s still got two new blades in the handle, and it came with three when new.

I use either Stanley or Irwin safety blades... soon as they are dull on both ends, chuck em away and get another. They cost pennies!

Nicest knife i've had (and still have) is a folding Milwaukee fastback

I love it, myself and brother each have one and both declare it to be the best stanley knife in the world. The belt clip is especially well shaped and useful.

Just ordered some Sweeney from ebay, £9.99. Always useful to have a pack of 100 that you won't be able to find when you need them

@slim_boy_fat If you ever get stung for ridiculous delivery charges get them sent to me (near St Andrews) and I'll forward them on at cost using cheaper option - if worthwhile?

Most kind, Sir I'll certainly keep that in mind.
