I think I paid $8 for a 3-pack of aluminum-framed utility knives @ Menard's a few months ago. No holster, but the knives are very similar and work great.

Unfortunately, most people don't live in Wisconsin.

I don't either. They are present in several states throughout the midwest.

Any utility knife blade should fit, they're mostly universal

They're a universal standard for utility blades, so pretty easy to find. My local harbor freight has a 50 pack for $6 at regular price

I bought a pack with two of these (Identical looking) along with a standard utility knife, Kobalt brand, at Lowe's recently for less than $15 (not on sale). I'm sure these are OK, but nothing special about the price.

it does. in case you didn't copy/paste shedeus's link...the clip is shown in SD pic #2 insert.
You can unscrew it if unneeded.

I ordered and received one. Feels to be good quality. feels substantial in the hand. I cut up 3 big cardboard boxes and I liked how it fit in my hand. I have purchased many folding style box cutters in the past. I would say this one is in the upper quality range of all of them. You can find less expensive ones for sure in a multi pack setup. But in my opinion, I don't believe they will meet the quality of this one. I was so impressed by the quality of this one, that I ordered 7 more. I figured would make for good gifts. I like the case that come with it. It Velcros closed. Keeps the aluminum safe from getting scratched up so it will stay looking visually appealing. You can decide for yourself. I am just giving my opinion, so as to pay it forward so to speak. I have gotten a lot of good deals off of this site and feel this is certainly one of them. I am more than satisfied with mine and believe you will be too. Happy deal hunting!

I picked up one as well. It is substantial if a bit heavy. Certainly seems decent quality and no complaints at this price. Love having a pocket clip.
