OLFA 18mm LA-X Fiberglass Utility Knife with Multi-Pick — the heavy-duty cutter for construction, flooring, drywall, and MRO work — is on sale for $10.00, down from $14.99. Buy online at Cutter's Bench, apply coupon code BENCH10 for an extra 10% off, and add it to any order over $45.00 for free shipping.
The LA-X pairs a fiberglass-reinforced, chemical-resistant body with an X-design wraparound anti-slip grip, so it holds up to drops, solvents, and all-day use where plastic utility knives fail.
The LA-X uses standard 18mm heavy-duty snap-off blades, including OLFA's ultra-sharp black snap blades. Blade replacement is tool-free: slide the auto-lock back, drop in a fresh 18mm blade, and get back to work. When the edge dulls, snap the segment and keep cutting.
The integrated multi-pick end handles poke-through drywall starts, vinyl scoring, adhesive scraping, and fastener tasks — one knife replaces two tools on your belt.
At $10.00 — 33% off the $14.99 list — the LA-X is an affordable upgrade over $5 hardware-store knives that crack under jobsite abuse. Use coupon BENCH10 at checkout and pair it with OLFA 18mm blade packs to unlock free shipping over $45.
Compared to standard 9mm utility knives, the 18mm heavy-duty blade resists flex and breakage in drywall and underlayment. Compared to fixed-blade knives, the auto-lock slide and snap segments mean a fresh edge in seconds. If you need smaller precision cuts, an OLFA 9mm knife is the alternative; for demolition-scale cutting, the LA-X is the right tool.

Yes — the fiberglass-reinforced body, 18mm heavy-duty blade, and anti-slip grip make it well suited for cutting vinyl, underlayment, carpet, and drywall on flooring jobs.
I'm a flooring installer and this knife has survived three months of daily abuse — cutting vinyl plank, scoring underlayment, slicing carpet padding. The fiberglass body doesn't crack when I inevitably drop it off a ladder, and the auto-lock keeps the blade from sliding mid-cut, which is a genuine safety feature, not a gimmick.
That little pick on the end has become my favorite feature. Prying staples out of subfloor, opening shrink-wrapped boxes, poking weep holes — it's always there and never breaks. Auto-lock slide is smooth and positive. At ten bucks this is a no-brainer.
Cuts drywall, cardboard, and shrink wrap without complaint. The anti-slip grip works well with gloved hands. My only nitpick is the slide takes some thumb pressure to retract — fine for daily use, slightly annoying with wet hands. Still easily better than the plastic junk at the big box stores.
The knife itself is sturdy and blade changes are genuinely tool-free, which I appreciate. However after a few weeks of heavy use the auto-lock started allowing slight blade movement during aggressive cuts. Works fine for lighter tasks. OK for the price.
Dropped it in a bucket of thinset, ran over it with a dolly, left it in a hot truck for a summer. Still cuts like day one. Fiberglass body is the real deal.
Bought this for my husband who does handyman work and he's already ordered a second one for his truck. He says the blade snaps off cleanly and the multi-pick has replaced a separate pry tool in his bag. Great stocking stuffer for the handy person in your life!
Keep it clipped in my apron pocket all day. Blade changes take under a minute with no tools, and the grip texture means it doesn't slip even with dusty hands. Wish the pocket clip were metal instead of plastic, but no real complaints after two months.
I've gone through a dozen cheap utility knives that crack, jam, or rust. This OLFA feels like it was built for people who actually use their tools. The blade locks rock solid — no wobble at all — and cutting through carpet and linoleum is effortless. Worth every penny even at full price.
Mine arrived with a slide that stuck about halfway and required two hands to move. Customer service replaced it quickly and the replacement works perfectly, but based on my sample the QC could be better. Two stars for the hassle, would be five for the replacement unit.
One for the shop, one for the truck. Cheap, tough, does everything.
Thirty years in construction taught me what a good utility knife feels like, and this one has it: heft without bulk, a lock you can trust, and a blade that seats perfectly every time. I mostly do woodworking and home repairs now, and this sits in my everyday pouch. My old knife went in the trash the day this arrived.
Score-and-snap works cleanly on LVP, and the integrated pick is handier than I expected. The fiberglass construction definitely feels more durable than my old plastic knives. Four stars only because I wish it came with spare blades included.
