Pros

Replacing the blade on this utility knife is fuss-free and safe. There is a spring-loaded push button above the blade's liner (pictured here) that releases the blade when pressed, and locks the blade in place when released.
Pro Great ergonomics
The notch on the handle near the blade makes this utility knife comfortable to hold and easy to handle for both heavy-duty cutting and precision works.
Pro Solid build quality
The metal body makes this ideal if you need something rugged that can withstand heavy usage.
Pro Can be used to strip wires
This utility knife can be used to strip wires up to 10 gauge.
Pro Comes with integrated gut hook
This utility knife comes with an integrated gut hook which can be used to cut thin items (such as wires or strings) without opening the knife.
Pro Easy to open
This utility knife can be opened with one hand by pressing the release button and flicking your wrist.
Cons
Con Pocket clip is unreliable
The Fastback has a wire clip instead of a solid metal clip. After prolonged use, it can get filmsy and bent out of shape, especially if you clip it on thick surfaces (such as a leather belt) frequently.
Con Might be too bulky for some users
While this utility knife is robust, it is bulkier than others. This might not be ideal if you have carrying constraints (e.g. jean pockets).
Con No extra blade storage
This utility knife doesn't have a blade storage compartment for holding additional blades.
