Bought a $60 drywall stillson knife and honestly it was a waste

Saw everyone online raving about those fancy offset stillson knives for cutting outlets and such. Figured I'd treat myself after a rough week. Thing is maybe a tiny bit faster than my old utility knife but not $60 worth of faster. Plus it leaves this weird burr on the paper every time. My $10 box cutter with a fresh blade still works better for 95% of what I do. Anyone else try one and end up going back to the basics?

Wait, wait... hold up. Did you say it LEAVES a burr on the paper? That's crazy! For SIXTY BUCKS you'd think it would at least cut clean.

Did you try swapping the blade on yours or was it the tool itself?

Sixty bucks for something that burrs the paper? That's rough, I feel for you. Did you at least try a fresh blade before writing it off?
