I saw the VViDiD "Best Damn Knife Ever Made" recommended in another thread a little while ago (not the first one in the picture, but the one that's basically the same as the Wuta knife below that one). It went on deep discount for the recent Amazon Prime Day, so I picked one up. It just didn't click with me. I couldn't be bothered to take the time to tighten the lock down tightly; I really prefer knives that just click into place. The main thing I didn't like though was that the little button that advances the blade was sunk far too deep in the slot for my liking; not enough of the button was sticking above the knife housing, so I found it difficult to press and slide. I'm returning it. For a 30 degree blade knife, I prefer the NT Cutter ABS Grip A-553P that I went into detail about in a different comment. I do own a knife that has a similar "tighten blade at any point" mechanism like these two, but mine is by Olfa and has a bigger blade. https://www.amazon.com/Olfa-Craft-Kife-size-34B/dp/B000TGF9DI When I'm cutting leather though, I almost always reach for my Olfa 18mm No-Slip Grip Utility Knife. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GIO2TG I put the Olfa black blades in there, because they're sharper than any others I've ever tried.
