I have the original superknife and I bought this one because the original required you to remove a screw to replace the blade.This one has simplified the process.The thumb stud that opens the blade is also the unlocking mechanism for the blade.The only problem is that I've found that I accidentally push down on the stud, thereby releasing the blade, while I"m using the knife.I suggest going to Superkinfe's website and buying one of the newer models in the hopes that they have corrected this little glitch.

This is a very light duty knife and the blade will come out if used for anything other than cutting open boxes.I picked up a couple for less than five bucks apiece, but I still don't think it was worth it.Spend a little extra on a better knife.It will be a lot safer and less frustrating!
