Are the blades easy to replace?

Some of that depends on what you call easy. You have to disassemble the knife in order to change the blade. That is as simple or as hard as removing 3 screws, taking the housing/handle apart, removing the old blade, adding the new blade, and putting it back together. I would say easy, but a little time consuming.

pain in the ass... I'm at my third order from aliexpress to get the right fitting cutout. besides that the knife itself is easy opened. just finding the right blades seems hard'er...

tobsnThe only blade I've found that really fits right is the Z-series X-Acto #11... and even then, the raised lettering on the blade caused noticeable grinding until it wore off. My local Michael's carries them, but YMMV.

NateTheGreat68Thanks for the tip, hopefully the Z Series do the trick. Wish they would make a new insert to hold the smaller hole size, should be possible to support both with a single part!

They are easy to replace. Use a little blue loctite on the screws. It may be necessary to Dremel your blades a little to make them fit right. Great knife though, use mine often.

Very easy: three Torx screws to open the knife and it uses standard Exacto blades.

FaloopaThis is wrong - standard #11 X-Acto brand blades do not have a large enough hole in the blade. Really frustrating they didn't use the blades sold EVERYWHERE.
What is the benefit of copper?
Shiny look, more drastic patina over time, extra dense weight (some prefer, especially on a small knife), smooth when you want to unscrew it (titanium is a little scratchy), naturally anti-bacterial (not like that will usually matter). Personally, I got the copper RUK because I bought a Brass flashlight before, and I wasn't satisfied with the relatively mild patina of the Brass. I want something to look like it's mine, and it has some history! It darkened nice and fast, yet the functional operation of extending and retracting the blade is still smooth and satisfying. YMMV of course, good luck have fun!

Not the choice for project work. It's tiring to hold the blade out with no lock and it wanting to retract all the time. I wanted something more useful for extended periods of time. Not a utility knife... Maybe a finishing or detail/cuticle knife.

This feedback might be better placed in the "Reviews" section. I agree with what you say, this is definitely not intended to be used for long periods of time. It's definitely designed for something that you can easily carry with you and use to open up to a few packages at a time. I picked mine up so that I could put the wear & tear of opening cardboard on a razor blade that can be replaced, rather than my daily carry pocket knife like I have always done before. So far, it's been working great for that use.
I love my knife. Have it on a retractable lanyard and carry it everywhere. Where can I find replacement blades. I have 4 different types of exacto blades, brand name and generic, none of them fit due to the hole size and design of the internal holder.

recently lost one of the small screws. Does anyone know what the name of the screws are and what kinda screwdriver head I need to use? Is it even metric?

Don't know the name of screws or source for more (although my RUK came with extras) but the 'screwdriver' needed for these is Torx size T6.
