In 1916, J. Walter Becker started the Ideal commutator dresser company of Chicago from his mother s kitchen. He manufactured commutator dresser stones with the belief that every product should be worth more than the price paid for it. Service, he said, was part of the product. That idea has been the core Ideal business principle for over 90 years. Today, the many loyal distributors and customers that make Ideal successful are a testament to Becker s original philosophy. The Ideal 35 300 utility knife comes with a quick change retractable blade system and no disassembly required. Also it has a built in pull line cutter and a non slip soft comfort grip.
