Utility knifes for lino?

[Barry Carlton]

kwfloors said I use the airway and a crain utility knife, an armstrong bent hook knife. Not so much the airway as I have had them break more often that not. Personna is coming out with so new scrapers and knives. I saw them at Surfaces.

How could I leave out a lino knife??!!! I rely on them extensively!!! I used to be a Dexter blade only man, but then I tried a batch of Stanley blades that fit into a utility knife. I bought about 30 of them on EBAY for about a buck apiece. I am not unhappy with them per se, but they are not Dexters by any means!!

I sure wish I could find Dexter blades for a good price. But as with flooring installations quality comes with a price. And Dexter's are unbeatable in my opinion.

I throw the spent blades back into my tray so if I run out I can at least use an old one
