box cutter often. I recently bought Home Depot's Husky brand cutter for $3 more. It was poor quality and design; hard to use and kept coming apart; I returned it. This OLFA cutter is great quality, easy to use and shows the quality difference of being made in Japan instead of China. It's a winner at a super price!
