Asserting anything section 4 lists. The page's own gate, restated: no flagged feature is a promise.
The tuck. A blunt stair tool's job; not in this store; never the knife spine.
Face-cutting loop pile at volume — a guided loop pile cutter's job, not in this store.
Cutting over surfaces that must survive.
An open blade can reach what's underneath; over installed pad, finished stairs, or surviving hardwood, the captured-throat hook blades (42200 in a utility host, utility line; 67090, industrial line) are the answer — while in the open field or a mid-goods start, the hook is helpless and the open blade is the only tool.
Its identity — name, model, GTIN — and nothing else official. Section 2 is the full honest answer, and it is the first thing to know before buying.
Is it a snap-off knife?
Almost certainly not — one distributor listing's "SNAP-BLADEKNIFE" title is unreconciled but contradicted by every description of the tool; treated as a probable data-entry artifact pending verification.
What blades does it take?
Retail listings say reversible four-edge carpet blades, refilled as 42105 5-packs — unverified, and the refill is not carried in this store. Do not assume cross-brand blade compatibility .
This or a fixed hawkbill?
Do you keep a stone and want one knife for decades — or do you want a fresh edge in seconds, forever, at the cost of a consumable stream? Section 7's first bullet in full.
This or the utility knife on my belt?
For occasional carpet cuts, the belt knife is adequate and already owned. The dedicated host is a carpet-crew purchase.
How do I dispose of spent blades?
Sharps container or taped before the trash — section 5g.
What else does a stretch-in job need that this store doesn't carry?
Kicker/stretcher, stair tool, seaming iron and tape, loop pile cutter — and this knife's own refill blades . The honest kit list.
