Utility Knives... all blades NOT the same size... WTHey?

[fixizin]

Yeah, walk into any HW / Big Box / Wally World / etc. and there might be many brands of the standard issue trapezoidal knife blades... but only 1 size... right? I inherited the Husky lock-blade shown below, and nowhere on it does it say "Junior" or la petite or in any way indicate it's "not standard"...

... so WHERE can I find that smaller version, or at least, WHAT are they called???

Thanks in advance.

I feel you on that one... I have one of those too (not made by husky, but same blade). It is laying in a toolbox and I am thinking about just chucking it... don't have time to be searching for odd sized blades

Granite countertops... but only the "thin" ones... I keed, I keed... mostly heater hoses, headliners... that super-tough drop-in bedliner material, you know, RANGER stuff!

SCIENCE: "odd" smaller ones measure 1-7/8" on the long/sharp edge, "normal" ones measure a full half-inch longer at 2-3/8"... hmmm...

I’ve seen that before. Somewhere I should have a couple of the mini utility knives, they take an even smaller blade. Might even have one of those oddballs like the OP has too, but couldn’t tell you where it might be. Like has been said, I don’t have time to search for special blades, all of my utility knives in regular use are the standard large blades. Buy my replacements in 100 count packs, typically the Irwin Blue Blades.

I use those for cutting asphalt roofing.

I used them for cutting old vinyl off of "Staple Stitched Awnings".

Hmmm... ROUND "points" scare me... they are "safer" though...

Round points = dull?
