Product Overview

The Stanley Contractor Grade Fixed Blade Utility Knife (10-209) is a no-frills, heavy-duty cutting tool built to handle tough materials on the jobsite. Whether you’re scoring drywall, slicing roofing felt, cutting flooring, or opening packaging, this utility knife delivers reliable cutting performance with a durable, fixed-blade design.

The metal body construction stands up to drops, scrapes, and repeated use, making it a dependable choice for trade professionals and DIYers alike. It features an interlocking nose that holds the blade securely in place and reduces blade wobble during cutting, even under heavy pressure.

The fixed-blade setup means there’s no blade wobble or sliding mechanism to fail—just straightforward strength and cutting precision. Blade changes are tool-free and quick, thanks to the simple screw-open handle that also doubles as onboard blade storage.
