All-

    After watching the new Homebuilder Help video on Zenith construction, I was sold on something called the "Olfa Knife". Makes nice, straight cuts on sheet stock.

    Tried Home Depot, etc. and got no hits. Is anyone familiar with a similar tool, and what's it called in the States?

    Thanks.

                                                                                Bill

Bill:



Try >www.olfa.com/products< and check the Olfa P800, model 5012.  I  

found an unsatisfactory substitute at Lowe's that does not do the job.

Olfa is a brand of razor knives.  I bought several at my local 

hardware store (True Value stores).



I keep one of these knives in my work apron and use it several times 

every day.  It is wonderful for trimming adhesive tape down to the 

size needed and other simple cutting tasks.  It is also great for 

opening those expensive packages from Aircraft Spruce including all 

the little plastic bags of parts.  This is the only tool I have found 

that will strip Tefzel wire as well.

Bill,



I work for a construction material supply company in California, and "Olfa"

is what we call them. You might try your local contractor's supply house for

drywall or lath  or I can send one to you next week.

Bill I checked with Home Depot, the Olfa P-800 is a standard stock item,

usually found in the tools section.

Zodie-

    Just checked. Might work for those North of the border, but zilch for us 

down South. Of course, the tape was made by Can-Zac.

Zodie-

    Sorry, but I can't take a personal day from work without a coroner's 

excuse.

    Another lister linked me up with the manufacturer, so everything should 

be OK.

    Thanks to you and everyone else.

    If only all listed problems could be solved this easily!!

I bought mine in a local art supply store, none of my

local Home Depot carries any of the Olfa products.

If, in your area, you have a glass business, there is a supplier that we all 

use C.R. Laurence Co. whereby they sell the quality stainless steel OLFA 

knives (product #SVR-1) and blade refills are available.  These are a much 

improved quality as they are a tool for glass businesses.
