It's perfectly fulfills not just the best cutter, but the only one of its job. Most other blade holder only a plastic slider for locking the blade (if any), which gladly gives way when cutting tougher materials. The blade is clamped firmly between the body halves of the handle for this model, so that the blade has absolutely zero game more. This is the actual main argument for this cutter, which actually all our other models me disqualified under came.
