i use these knives all the time for work.
i've gone through several makes and i've found the 'irwin' to be about the best and it's lasting longer than the others.

+2 on that. The Irwin blades really are twice as sharp and I'm getting 10x the life of stanley blades at work. They will also bend double without snapping.


Sorry, no idea on where to get the blade holder but I'll keep an eye this thread as I've been meaning to make one for backpacking.

I found a Stanleykey ring knife called the Mitey, not seen one in the flesh but the plastic handle model weighs under an ounce and closes to 3 inches.

Its not quite what I'd hoped to find, but usable.

+3 I use the irwin blades at work and they really are sharper and longer lasting than the Stanley ones . The irwin folder is a good knife and should last a while ,but then again you
get what you pay for .

Thanks for all your replies:now sorted. I was trying to replicate a small folding knife which used razor blades. My father liberated one from a tank during the war but it disappeared after he died. The gerber stanley blade clip seems to be the nearest. I think it is advancing age but I keep remembering the ingenious knives the menfolk in my family used to carry and which I used to have as a boy. I suppose my grandson will have to remember the old ipods or something.
