    I don't know it was possible to create a "holy grail" knife that accepts disposable razors but you've done it.

    This is great. I'm a huge believer in the idea of having a disposable bla utility knife for tasks where you don't want to risk ruining your expensive knife. This knife is essentially the best of both worlds. I'd love to see a value-engineered version for us mortals.

    @Gavin Hawk The 'Shortcut' is indeed a gorgeous quite unique design, but when comparing it to other recent 'titanium bodied' pocket utility knives, paying just shy $500 is excessive (in my opinion) for it's small physical size and it's all but 'single use' primary function, as a glorified box-cutter. Stanley blades are notorious for only being good for their intended purpose, like cutting paper and cardboard, scribing and scraping, as they're way too brittle to physically abuse any other way, unlike more traditional solid bladed utility knives. I found I was spending more time and money swapping out chipped Stanley blades, whenever their points kept snapping off. The fact that there is such a wide range of Stanley blade shapes available, makes this and other such EDC's utility knives still a very useful tool to own. The 'Shortcut' is only a light duty knife in any real world usage scenarios. With all that being said, The Deadlock is a stunningly beautiful knife too, but again I'd be reluctant to purchase one at an astonishing $1100 and not single encrusted diamond in sight. 🤣

      I agree, I am not cheap when it comes to buying tools, they enable me to make a living and I buy the best quality I can, that being said, there is no way I would pay that price tag for a box cutter, it looks like a nice box cutter but not $475 nice. I am not saying there is not a market for it, there are plenty of people that have more money than I do that will not mind the price, you can see that in the comments, its just way to expensive for me.

      Hey, just a perspective to consider, it’s an ultra custom knife from literally the BEST mechanical knife designer on the PLANET. You don’t tell Ferrari their cars are too expensive for their “single purpose”, you pay more for the absolute best design from the best maker. He can only make a few hundred of these things a year he can’t sell them for $19.99 at Home Depot next to the Stanley. Or even $200. He’s got a whole manufacturing facility and a dozen employees to support and 300 knives at $200 would only be $60k. Just perspective to consider man. His prices are so reasonable for the quality of what he produces and the huge operation it takes to make a thousand or two thousand of the best knives on the planet per year
