About this deal

Fixed Blade Knives:While fixed blade utility knives offer less flexibility than retractable blades, they offer more reliability as a trade-off. Since they have fewer moving parts, knife malfunction or failure becomes less likely. And since you don’t have to “deploy” the blade, it’s always ready for use. They also tend to be more durable than their counterparts. You will immediately practice what you’ve just learned so it will start to get embedded in your brain. NEW!* fast easy one-handed blade deployment, smooth action, nice!! good tactility on the detents, too How are you doing? Have you mapped out your masterpiece, then spent time making it visually appealing? Used fonts and clip art that are legal? Awesome!

Making a few connected products is a good idea, so stay with the topic you just finished and build it out into a group of interrelated resources. blade is held by the magnet, cannot drop out even if the lever was pushed accidentally to the open position ("position B") I would suggest that before you even start the next lesson make a 2nd resource and even a 3rd. It’s a good idea for a few reasons. I will write a separate article about clip art and photos, because it’s a big topic. Step 4: Proofread and TweakWhenever you cut something with the TPT (draw- or push-cutting, doesn't matter), try to imagine if you weren't better off with a razor sharp concave blade for the task. With enough realistic imagination you'd come to same conclusion of this post: in practice a 6-way tool : fire steel striker, finger nail file, mini pry bar, bottle opener, razor blade as cutter & scraper (imho the hex bit driver and the open-end wrench have extremely limited practical usage and sorry the screwdriver becomes fully functional only after a mod) the millimeter-spaced vertical grooves at the bottom and top edge of the tool are too shallow to enhance the finger's grip or to function as wood file. while the bottom edge can be used as finger nail file, why not make a genuine metric ruler (with +1mm resolution) out of it? Snap-Off Blades:These are commonly found in stationery or hobby knives. They’re typically long blades divided into smaller, even sections. They’re designed this way so that you can snap off the section when the tip breaks instead of replacing the entire blade. These knives usually come with a mechanism to perform these tasks safely. So no, with the TPT i don't do swinging arm slashings (→convex blade) or carpet cuttings (→straight blade), sorry :shrug:

I’m so glad you’re following these lessons. There is a lot of info on the web that you can cull from and it’s very helpful. But I couldn’t find a step-by-step, hold-my-hand-through-the-process guide out there for free. practically a 4-way tool: razor blade, bottle opener, mini pry bar, fire steel striker. (sorry the screwdriver, hex bit driver, and open-end wrench have extremely limited practical usage ymmv)Integrated Functions: An EDC pry bar’s main job is obviously prying, though that hasn’t stopped the makers of these items from often bestowing them with supplementary features and functions such as hex wrench openings, removable bit drivers, bottle openers, and other tools that are often integrated into a pry bar’s body construction. Ergonomics & Grip: Using a pry bar often requires an immense amount of force — leverage that’s much easier to gain when using a pry bar with solid ergonomics and grip. When looking at this area you’ll want to consider the size and shape of the handle-portion of the pry tool, along with whether or not its primary construction has been supplemented with any type of texturing, cut-outs, or handle scales to bolster grip. My argument is, the TPT is a blade holder, a very small blade holder at that. And most of the everyday cutting tasks which i encounter ymmv are done better, securer, faster, fail-safer with the concave blade.

Grip type:A comfortable, ergonomic grip is of paramount importance when it comes to utility knives. Since you’ll be performing repetitive cuts, an ergonomic form factor can reduce strain or injury. And as far as detailed work goes, an uncomfortable grip can affect not only your body but also the quality of your work.

not too easy to deploy single-handedly. you can do it, i can do it, he/she/it can do it. or maybe she caht do it, haha. Retractable Knives:Most knives on this list (and on the market) count as retractable knives. Retractable blades gained popularity due to their ease of transport and generally safer operation. Retractable blades also provide more versatility regarding blade length, letting the user decide depending on their task. The screws were tightened so firmly that only my iFixit driver could loosen them, i didn't have enough grip on the SHEK tool. I noticed that TPT Slide screws would be a bit too long on the TPT and vice versa, so one should not swap the T6 torx screws between the two tools.
