Best knife ever
»
This is the only knife I buy. You can change a blade in about 30 seconds, & the blade stays locked in position, unlike other " quick change" knifes I have tried.

The best utility knife I know of
»
Most utility knives are just utility knives. But you can't ask for faster blade changes with the Stanley 10-989. It's allready a classic in my books. I luv this knife and will never buy anything else.

Needs improvement
»
The locking mechanism for the various blade positions slides out much too easily, and I found that the blade would extend unintentionally when removing it from my tool pouch (too dangerous for me, novice that I am.) Other models lock well in both directions (this model does lock very solidly when extended), and I've replaced the 10-989 with a simpler Stanley model that stays locked in or out of the pouch. Right now it sits in my tool drawer for home projects.

Consistently a favorite among construction interns
»
Over a three year period, this knife was tested by a group of 8 construction interns working for an organization building simple houses for people in need. these interns worked full-time building houses during a one-year term of service. In addition, this model of knife was frequently used by a wide variety of house construction volunteers.
This knife was consistently prized and well-liked by the construction interns for the following reasons: 1. Durable. 2. Excellent handle design gives good power when cutting, even for women with smaller hands. 3. Blade does not pull out under heavy use, unlike the Erwin Pro Touch Retractable. 4. Simple to use and to change blades. Overall, this knife was well-loved and highly recommended by this group of daily users.
Alleged "pinching" problem between halves of the knife was not noted by the interns.
