    Delphin for me.
    But, they wear out way too quickly, especially when were doing a lot of safety.

    Delphin :) just a pity they're not as good as they used to be, I still have an original and the weight difference is huge :-(

    Delphin for me aswell last time i cleaned the van out I found 14 of them. Getting low now so it might be time for a tidy out. Love the stuff you find lurking in the bottom of the seldom used tool box. When I started in the game everyone had Delphins or the old Stanley knives with the little yellow plastic screw at the back. I thought I knew best didn't want Delphins and used the Stanley power lock knives for a year or so but sure enough. The old fitters were right as they always were. One of the three most important tools for a floorlayer along with a broom and a pencil.

    Used Romus Taurex ones for a few years. Good, heavy, sturdy knives but back to del pins again now.
