I didn't know that.

We were knife poor all of a sudden. 2 men looking for a knife for an hour,,, more really, all Frick day or 3. I finally found one, then this qc all jammed up. I bought 4 new, there was only a dollar different for the qc. Bought 2 of them. Was fixing the old and happened to notice a unique feature, must been a farmer thang.

 

[txvwnut]

So what was the unique feature you found?

 

[bob15]

Let me guess, you found the string cutter feature......

Thanks, I eyeballed the photo for a couple minutes and couldn't figure it out either.

IME all that "feature" does is snag pallet wrap- it's too small to be useful without futzing about slowly when used on normal tying or baling twine... it'd work better for thread or monofilament, but you've already got a knife blade right there.

My first guess was spare blades in the handle. I think people used to use string a lot more, now its all tape.

My local Ace Hardware puts the 10-788 on sale for $3 every so often. It’s extra blade storage is tool-less.

I don't use this model, I never noticed the string cutter and the qc isn't bad.

 

[JR 42]

I'd like to hear your thoughts about it- seems likely it might be useful for some folks in ways that escape me.

Custom work right there!

 

[Noworries]

Sooo.. no one carries a pocket knife there?

 

[WittHay]

Have a Craftsman in one of the trucks that has that same string cutter feature. It will worked on the thinner plastic baler twine. But as mentioned just quicker to use the front blade. Normally dont use jack knifes on twine as the plastic dulls the blades fairly quick

 

[dscheidt]

Last one of these didn't work right. Fiddled with it far too long before I realized the problem is that one of the cast frame pieces is warped, and it doesn't fit together properly. By that point, it was far too late to return it.

 

[Jameskelly]

haha, glad you found it.

 

[sberry]

I don't carry a knife, havnt sharpneed a blade in decades. I throw out everything isn't a Stanley retractor. As soon as I bought 6 new I managed to find a couple.

qc= ???? quick connect??

 

[Dumber than lumber]

qc= ???? quick connect??

Probably means Quality Control

 

[lardy1]

Quick change (blade), I think.

 

[Kobe786]

I guess qc = quality control.

Bingo! It says Quick Change on the package, but the glare in the picture kind of makes it difficult to read.

I have a Cman yellow utility knife. It doesn't have the extra cutter but I have one that does. I've never used it but when they first came out, I was told it was to cut plastic sheeting.

Anybody use it to cut plastic ?

 

[Noworries]

I guess its just progress in a modern world but the "old school" retractable stanley that you had to turn a screw about 6 revolutions to seperate the handle to change out the blade... maybe 60 seconds total time.. was quick change to me

 

[DoorBreaker]

Those twine cutter slots are also handy to cut seat belt webbing without trying to cut other things.

 

[johnnyradiant]

I used mine to strip some wire. Don't normally use it but I did it to say I did.
