If a utility knife is one of the common tools that you use from day to day, you should have a good knowledge of the different blades that you can purchase for these knives.
The most common one is simply straight edged along the cutting edge, and you can reverse them so the blade is usable twice over.
These tend to be reasonable blades, but just because they are popular doesn't mean they are the best.
A while ago I found that using curved blades makes a massive difference.
These blades have a curved section which goes to a very sharp point, where you do all of the cutting.
The extra sharp point ensures that you can cut very quickly, and surprisingly they don't snap very often either.
A curved blade allows you to score timber and other products easily and deeply, which is very handy.
They also work the same as the other blades, except they tend to cut much better.
I have used utility knives for many years, and I was very surprised to find that the curved blades work much better in everything that I tried.
To top it off, they are also reversible, and they don't cost any more than a normal utility knife.
If you are a regular user of a utility knife, then you should really investigate the different types of blades that you can buy.
They are designed for specific purposes, and you might surprise yourself and pick up a set of blades that is cheaper than the normal blades, but that is designed for your specific task.
I know that I only buy the curved utility blades now, because they are that much more efficient.
