Some time no hear, wow time's passing fast. Exactly at that time around i had started a new hobby: going regularly to a local pinpon club 🏓. And never looked back since, it's overtaken and changed my life, i appreciate every direct and indirect aspect of it! Anyway, i keep using my EDC rulers...

got the stuff a while back but it wasn't until today that i got around to installing it. Beautiful machining made in USA: The middle knife is the legendary box cutter called The Utilizer 2.0 (73g) which is fully manufactured in the USA. I am retiring it because I now have two V3's at my...

Worth noting, my 2nd unit of the Tirant Razor V3 (standard issue, plus addons: MM-metric ruler scale, and warpspeed scale) has just been shipped. It's so good and valuable that i want to have two units for my peace of mind. Whenever something's good, worth its price AND affordable, i buy one or...

yes the photo shows the unbranded production blank of the Quark Tool dot Com which i sanded down to polished finish . especially the inner edges come with rough machining marks, looking dirty and ugly, way too raw/crude . the problem with these blanks is that they cannot be operated...

i had thought that you were joking haha. anywho i wrote up its pro's and con's on the other forum: https://www.bladeforums.com/posts/21091161

I've got only 2 US-made rulers (STARRETT, TIRANT RAZOR V3) and i made one leather sheath for it: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/review-precision-6-rule-sleeve-sheath-pouch-case-holster-build-and-mod.507210/

i also carry this thingy (i bought 15 blanks as gifts, and carry 1 branded version): blank = 5$ branded = 25$

it's not a pain. it's a deal breaker. 😵‍💫

How about a 475US$ box cutter?

For me, the most edc-able #realedc, still capable, and most importantly the most likable (for various reasons) is the aforementioned Tirant Razor V3. It's been in my pocket 24/7 ever since, apart from pyjamas bed time lol. The OP's Keen Box Cutter looks like a good choice for warehouse workers...

here a cutting test part 2 (8min) , i love the performance of the product :

A quick bump. Professional commercial scales (rulers) are sold with a technical tolerance spec, e.g. "300mm ±0.5mm at 20°C". When you try to take relevant photos of two scales (rulers) of different brands, lying opposite to each other for comparing their minute relative "off-ness", you'll run...

So i've been using the sleeve for 223 months now, all good. If i had to do it all over again, there's just one tiny thing i would add in the above stage: glue (Henkel Pattex Classic). Obviously it's a little tricky to add glue lines right next/along the ruler, without the liquid glue...

Has anyone jumped on the Ti Utility Knife? For keychain use, my hunt is over. But re folding utility knife, i'm open to new better models than The Utilizer 2.0 or else. Last week this kickstarter kicked off, drew 500 subs on the very first day, then severely slacked off. There's still some time...

Just do know that you cannot combine these 2 parts to make a T-ratchet
