What started this whole foray into box knife utopia for me is the 99E at work got taken off some where, I took in my 10-499 from home and it drove me nuts with the rattling and blade setting not staying where I put it.
Figured why not get the Pro. Pro is too big for my pouch (but not for the workshop peg board at home ) and I use the short blade settings all the time (see comment on Pro bellow ) so I ordered another 99E because I knew I liked it. If they had cheapened the knife I was all set to order the Milwaukee with the blade advance on the side but I don't need the bulk so since the 99E is still very well made I am all set.
The 99E
* has a stout solid feel
* rattles if spare blades are in it but not nearly as much as the 10-499 A small piece of foam stops the rattle.
* has five VERY distinct blade settings.
* has the firmest button spring for the blade settings.
* super easy to feel the blade setting notches
* They added some thing to cause friction to hold the screw for opening the case so the screw won't rattle loose. That was a nice touch.
The 10-499
* is the lightest by far but strong enough
* I find that how ever I grasp it the button gets pushed and the blade advances to the longest setting while cutting up large boxes (many bicycle shipping boxes ).
* It rattles a lot
* Three blade settings with a slight extension on the forth but that is to remove the blade using the side blade release button.
The "Pro-Grade"
* It is a very substantial box knife
* It is "defend your castle from invaders" substantial (if it is a small castle and there are only half a dozen invaders ).
* As you can see from the photo it is way larger. If you are wearing gloves and can't hang onto a smaller box knife the Pro is made with you in mind.
* When I slipped it into my small tool pouch on my belt I was concerned with how much room it took up and it is heavy.
* The blade changing mechanism works really , really well. Never a snag. Just run the thing back after pulling out the worn out blade and it grabs and advances another blade as you run the button forward again.
* This knife comes with eight blades ! ! ! The 99E comes with three.
* ONE small problem . . . the spring for the blade advance setting lock is very weak so it is hard to tell were the notches are. It takes a knack and practice to even find one consistently and it is not quick. For the most part this knife will be used with the blade fully extended so not a big deal. Once in a notch it stays put.
There is a metal flap spring with a coil spring reinforcing it that pushes against the side of the spare blades to hold them tight against the self loading feeder. This seemed to effect the blade advance lock so I used it with only the one blade being used. Still hard to find the notches.
* There are three blade settings
The photo shows the minimum setting for each blade. A bit longer on the Pro than the rest.

I have one of these that is probably 10 years old; I'd have older ones if I hadn't lost them. I might still have them if they were as bright as my other yellow plastic one. Yes, you need a screwdriver (or a dime) to change blades, but you can store about 5 fresh ones inside the handle, real handy if you can't get back to your supply easily. This model will let you set the blade at several different positions so you don't need to expose the whole blade.

There is nothing like a good tool that does its job everytime. Other knives may look cooler or feel squishier, but the Stanley 10-099 Utility Knife will always be as near to perfection as may be found. Solidly built and utilizing an ingenious mechanism for replacing and storing blades (a simple screw to hold its two halves together), this knife is utility par excellence.
Look no further, unless you like squishy grips and well thought-out color schemes. Did I mention the unmistakable positive feeling of the blade-locking mechanism?

Stanley and the other companies can keep trying to build a better mousetrap, but this knife is still the best around. The blades stay in, there is blade storage in the handle, and it comes apart easily to clean if you get it all gunked up with roof tar or adhesive. You will need a screwdriver to change the blade, or a coin or the head of a 10 penny nail or your laborers nose ring, but it's fast and simple and you can be cutting again in 30 seconds. This knife is all you need.

This is a great utility knife at an unbelievable price. I would have expected to pay a bit more for a tool of this quality. It even came with three blades. The durability, fit and finish on this knife are all great, especially if genuine Stanley blades are used with it. Don't waste your money on cheap imitations. If you want a good utility knife, buy a Stanley.

I had a bunch of boxes in my basement thanks to a combination of Ikea and Amazon. They wouldn't fit in my recycling container on the curb. Instead, I flattened the boxes and just left them there for awhile. They sat there for awhile, starting at me, reminding me of my rampant consumerism. At some point in time, they may have mocked me a bit. They were nasty boxes, horrible things. I had to get rid of these things.
I tried cutting them with scissors and ended up impressed as the rich quality of the cardboard boxes themselves; no mere scissors would comfortably dismantle such boxes. In order to get those boxes out of my basement, I needed a more efficient tool. I needed a tool that was just as strong as those boxes were resilient.
So I ordered this box knife. I installed the blade. I went down to the basement brandishing my new trusty tool. I'm rather certain that I could see the boxes start to sweat, nervously chittering to one another about their impending doom. They knew that the end was near. They spewed insults. They told me that I could get rid of them, but I'd always want more. They were in my head. It had to end.
I told those boxes, "No more." I cut them apart as quickly as the Mountain dispatched his enemies in Game of Thrones. Like a hot knife through butter.
I highly recommend this box knife. It is a weapon worth acquiring. A sturdy tool to pass down from generation to generation like a quality sword. Mount it above your mantle. Admire it. Respect it.
It is mighty.

The Stanley 99 is without question the best utility knife ever made. I have 5, a couple of which I bought back in the '80s that are still going. One of them I lost the screw who knows how long ago that I hold together with electrical tape. I just put new tape on when I change the blade. I hope they haven't changed them; I just bought 3 more. Seems no matter how many I have I'm always doing something and need one and can't find it. I've left them out in the rain, dropped them 20 feet onto concrete, even ran over one with my Jeep. I wouldn't give a nickel for the Chinese garbage you find at Lowe's and Home Depot. And they cost more! I don't know why they don't sell these anymore, at least in my area.
Update: The 3 knives I bought came and they are still just as good as ever. Very minor inconsequential design changes, but otherwise identical and just as good as ever. And Made in the USA. We need more tools made in this country again.

As the name says this Stanley 10-099 is a Classic and one of the original retractable blade knives. The yellow Olfa knives are good for light and medium duty jobs but when you want to do heavy cutting or need a knife with a strong rigid blade, nothing beats the Stanley Classic.
This knife is a great all purpose heavy duty retractable blade knife. It comes with three (3) blades which are stored inside the handle of the knife. The built in blade storage compartment will actually hold five blades. You need a screwdriver or a dime to remove the handle cover screw. The knife has three blade settings and each blade is reversible so when one side of the blade wears out, you simple unscrew the handle and reverse the blade to get a new clean sharp edge.
Because the blades on the Stanley knife are one piece, they don't break like Olfa blades when doing heavy cutting. Overall both Olfa and Stanley make great utility knives, but for the heavy stuff I always use my Stanley

Fantastic. Works well. Easy to change with a screwdriver. I don't mind having to use a screwdriver so it isn't a conern for me. The blade action is very nice and the tool holds the blade solidly. This is very solidly made. I would buy again if this one would ever break (which is unlikely unless it is driven over with the car).

It does what it is supposed to. You need a Phillips screw driver to remove the cardboard this product is shipped attached two. The 3 blades are inside the bottom of the handle and you must attach one to the top while you have it open. The blade easily slides up and down once reassembled.
