If you're wondering if this baby will cut whatever you need it to, worry no more. It's beefy, well made, and the blade is sharp enough to open a hole in space-time. It'll cut a stack of magazines. It'll also cut through your thumb like it wasn't even there. Lest you think me an idiot of some kind, all I was doing was removing a stack of pages from it and barely brushed the raised blade and I was on my way to the emergency room.If you've read The Subtle Knife... it's kinda like that.It really should have guards on both sides of the blade while it's retracted, but it doesn't... just for the love of all that's holy be careful and do not let your kids use this thing!Good luck and Via con Dios!
