Of the many different knives I have I also prefer the Gripsters, using different colors for different blades.

We use the Fiskars too, yet we have used many others. It kind of depends on which task you are performing with the blade. Different tasks (and blades) could be more efficient than others. The Fiskars handle seems best if you only want/need one.

I've grown used to my Tajima Tools blade. At first it was a bit clumsy but I've found the slimmer profile has actually made it less tiring for me to hold it. The other advantage it has is how cheap the blade cost becomes in the long haul (but that's not your particular question here). The precision cutter snap-blade knives offer a couple of options in terms of grip. They have other thicker blades (in other categories) that provide larger handles, might be worth a look. The model I own is the LC-302 that makes use of a thumbscrew (looks identical to either the LCB-30C or LCB-30-50).

I love the perfectly round ones so they can roll off your desk and stick in your leg or better yet fall between your legs and out of reflex slap your thighs together to catch it.... yeah! thats the ticket!

Ya, that's my favorite too. The best part is just after the blade goes in and you're sitting there looking at it standing perfectly upright out of your bare thigh and thinking "you know, that didn't even hurt......oh, wait a minute...............:eek :!

Been there, done that and it's really good with new jeans so that it leaves a nice hole as a reminder.

I use a xacto x2000 I got a few years ago. Works for me.
