My buddy swore by a regular utility knife for cutting padding, but I tried a hook blade last month and it's a total game changer.

My friend Dave was cutting foam for a couch cushion last year, he was using a box cutter and fighting with it. I handed him my knife with a hook blade and he just stared at it. He sliced through three inches of that dense foam in one smooth pull, didn't even snag the fabric underneath. He bought a pack of hook blades that same afternoon.

Honestly that's the exact right use for it. Tbh a regular blade can work for thin stuff, but for thick padding the hook just glides. Total no brainer for that job.
