I quite like the Magnusson one from B&Q. Has a regular serrated/plain knife blade on one side and a stanley type on t'other. Cheap and seems robust. Easy to use with one hand.

I've got this one, it's fine. You can change the blade just by pushing the red button which is a bonus. Think I picked it up for less than a tenner.

I have this - the knife blade is very useful too.

Just replaced the Bessey one I had for a decade before losing it. Got a Milwaukee fastback.

Depends what you are cutting. I like the compact Milwaukee for lightweight stuff and cables:-

But if I'm cutting carpet or something I need to put some power into I use this because the shape is very ergonomic:-

Maybe a question for the knife thread, but does anyone have a recommendation for a folding Stanley knife?
Coming to the conclusion that Stanley knives are often better for most uses than a proper knife. But I've misplaced my cheap retractable one (which is a bit shit anyway) and my fixed one is, well, fixed.
Cheers.
