The knife is well designed. The nub on the back keeps it from rolling off your desk and straight into your foot like an X-Acto. Seriously, why has no one addressed this before? The cap also fits securely and won't come off.
As far as blades go, it come with three, but you can also fit standard X-Acto blades in it and it holds them just as securely. That's good because X-Acto generally has good blades and they are cheap and available everywhere. I really purchased this as a saw. The OLFA saw blades are perfect for modelers and hobbyists who need a razor-fine cut.
This is the best hobby knife I have ever found and a pretty good bargain. Tamiya and others rebrand this knife as their own and charge 2x more. I will probably buy a few more to keep as spares.
Plastic Body: feels sturdy, similar to shatter-proof plastics I have felt. Has a ridge at the back to curb rolling around on your work area.
Rubber Grip: smooth, but very grippy yielding excellent control. Allows for easy tightening and untightening.
Safety Cap: Actually stays on and functions as it should! Isn't directional, so one mustn't pay attenetion to how it is connected.
Tightening Mechanism: Unlike others, the mechanism is actually two pieces, allowing for a tighter grip. Also has a slot in the top for standard hobby knife blades. This is in contrast to most other hobby knife handles because it means the tension on the blade comes from front and back, rather than the sides, which means your blade won't slide back when you put some pressure on it. What a great idea!
The only thing I would have liked to see would be a threaded insert in the handle instead of the metal tightening mechanism screwing directly into the plastic. But, like I said, the plastic seems very heavy-duty and I haven't had any trouble with it yet.
EDIT with update: This is, straight-up, the best hobby knife handle I've ever used. If you're looking for the best, buy this one.
The grip is a simple rubber sleeve and can be removed or upgraded with silicone tubing (brass is ~9.75mm dia). Handle and cap have protrusions to prevent rolling. Four extra blades are included and the knife retains cheap generic blades without issue.
It's a simple robust design and well worth the price.

It's a simple robust design and well worth the price.
The handle itself has a different balance, all towards the front, so delicate cuts or scrapes on parting lines on model parts, just the weight of the knife and the sharpness of the blade is all the force you need. Sometimes.
As for the blade. Unreal.
OLFA have to be the sharpest in the business. Care needs to be used, handling these or you'll find yourself in a world of hurt real fast. These blades DO NOT fit well in an X-acto handle. They don't seat far enough into the chuck for what I would consider safe operating procedure.
There is no real 'flex' in the blade, except at the tip, and you have to want to bend it.
Very stable.
I'm thinking I may purchase a couple more and keep different types of blades at the ready.
Kicking myself now for not making the move sooner.
Well worth their price.

The blade is super secure and does not loosen up.
All the other knives available on amazon are garbage in comparison to this.
Note: the Olfa replacement blades are a step above the others available, you won't go wrong sticking with Olga.
