Razor knives

[steve_64]

I've had the kobalt for some time but recently got the Gerber.

The Gerber fits in my pocket but the blade on the kobalt changes real easy.

Fred you can combine this with Mike's thread if you want.

I like the fast change blade feature. Just a few dollars more than a screw blade holder but then you don't need the screwdriver.

 

[hogjowl]

Fred can do whatever he wants.

Professionals use the Olfa knives.

I was using them to aggitate and trim off some nail polish or something. The gerber is nice for those times you need to trim some fibers while wanding.

This is the real razor knife:

Yep scars on both hands from those bastards. Ok from my own ignorance.

They sure cut great, sometimes a little too good.

Razor knives are in a small tool bag in the van...
this is in my pocket so it gets used most of the time.

Just buy a good knife. Benchmade, usa made Kershaw, boker, Spyderco, and spend 2 min per night sharpening it in front of the TV. Easy and kinda rewarding.

If you are really finicky, go to a medical supply store and buy some disposable scapels. Super sharp for fine detail work.

It was always dull when I needed it.

This is the real razor knife:

And it even has the blue heavy duty blades.

AND FOR YOU DUMMIES THAT CUT YOURSELF (Richard) USE A SHARP BLADE NOT A DULL ONE!

A Utility knife is different from a Razor knife.
Each has different purposes

 

[Mikey P]

My fave.

 

[SamIam]

This is the real razor knife:

I have one like that and a Crain blue one too.

The getter done.

Just be careful with those Bloody Mary doublesided blades.

 

[SamIam]

That's why you buy a box of razors too.

AND don't cut luan with it.

They work great for carpet, cardboard, rubber hose. However they suck at other things that a utility knife can do, like scoring dry wall.

Since we deal more with drywall removal in WDR, Mold Remediation and Fire Damage, the utility knife is prefered over the carpet knife. If we did repairs or installation, the carpet knife would be the better of the two.

 

[SamIam]

you need one of these for drywall

I'd like to deny that I am a dummy but when you cut yourself more than once with those knives its a little difficult to do so.

I had a HS friend that needed a summer job. The first day we were removing smoke damaged carpet and he was using a Crain razor. He lasted 10 minutes. My father had to take him to the hospital, 5 stitches.

Insult to injury was that without him, we had to work harder. That was his first & last day. lol

He still laughs about it when ever I see him.

LOL it controlled demolition. Not everything is coming out.

Of course you do drywall

 

[Desk Jockey]

Nope. Mitigation only and we are out.

It would be a conflict of interest if we did.

 

[hogjowl]

All Mexicans do drywall

 

[hogjowl]

And roofing

 

[Desk Jockey]

Dude when are you going to realize? I'm not your average Mexican.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

and laundry...apparently...

 

[Desk Jockey]

Ooh I need to throw a load of darks in. Thanks!

Prejudice?
Segregated laundry.
