Hi,
I'm just looking for suggestions for a retractable blade knife. I'm looking for something that is of that stanley knife / breakaway boxcutter style design, but uses a more solid blade that isn't broken into strips. I came across the the y-start Naithawk MT3 when I was looking for cheap knives to practice sharpening - I ended up getting the LK5016 for that purpose, but I keep coming back to thinking that this form factor of knife would be of more practical use for me daily:
(and lots of different style of this same thing on that same line) https://www.aliexpress.com/af/naith...thawk&catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20200803171022
But! I'm not massively inclined to start out with something like this at a $200au price point. Does anyone make something of decent quality like this, a bit cheaper? Ideally I'd like to get away with something more like the $35au shipped the LK5016 cost. From searching this and other forums, I've so far looked at the CIVIVI Mandate and Nitecore NTK10 which look very cool, but they're quite expensive. And the Dustar Model CutterJack, which is more the right price point, but has a review on the site linked for it saying the plastic frame cracked.
I'm not a Knife Guy, so please excuse me if I've mixed up terminology or types of thing here.
