Stanley 99E Classic Retractable Blade Utility Knife

a household essential. the best gifts are ones that don't have to be replaced because they are made well and last.

Made in the USA. While it looks like Stanley is still selling US-made versions of my favorite utility knife, that might not be the case for much longer. Sadly, last month, Stanley closed its last remaining US factory, which had been in operation for 183 years.
