My Utility Knife

UPDATE: I made a more compact version of the knife that I think is much better! Check it out here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4508113 This knife was designed in TinkerCAD and is based on the Talon Utility Knife. Compatible with Stanley style razor blades. I am using Workpro brand blades just fine. There are 2 versions of the handle: 1. The light version has a lighter slipjoint-like mechanism, which I think is just enough to be useful. 2. The heavy version is slightly stronger. Not that much stronger, but it adds just a little bit of stiffness. There were a few problems from the Talon that I wanted to fix. 1. I added a texture on the blade holder to make it easier to slide out. 2. I made the handle longer, so that the blade isn't so close to the edge when closed. That is to make it safer in your pocket. 3. I made the tolerances tighter so it wouldn't wiggle so much. I printed this on a stock Ender 3 just fine, so it should work on most printers. Despite having different dimensions, the parts from my knife and the Talon are interchangeable. Since my knife is designed with better tolerances, my parts will wiggle less, even with the Talon parts.
