The Stanley 10-499 Quick-Change Utility Knife is a compact, professional-grade cutting tool designed for fast, tool-free blade replacement. Whether you're opening packages, cutting cardboard, trimming drywall, slicing through plastic sheeting, or working with leather and other materials, this 6-3/8-inch knife delivers reliable performance on job sites, in workshops, and on DIY projects. Its front-loading blade release eliminates downtime caused by traditional blade changes, letting you swap sharp blades in seconds and keep working.
A built-in cutting notch on the handle serves as a ready-made scoring guide for marking materials or opening packages without reaching for additional tools.

The gray handle provides a durable, professional appearance designed to withstand regular use.
