I've got one of those CK ones Gaz, quite happy with it for the price. I reach for it before I reach for a Stanley knife when stripping cable etc. Tend to reach for the Stanley knife for dirty jobs like scoring through plaster, and keep the CK for cable stripping. Goes through PVC like a hot knife through butter.
 
I have a couple of CK knives and never had a problem with them.

I don't like Stanley blades as they are brittle and when they snap you can get tiny fragments of blade shooting off in all direction, I wouldn't fancy one of those in my eye.

Regardless of make or type, keep it sharp. Learning to use an oil or whet stone correctly will make sharpening a blade dead easy.
 
here's mine. also handy for punching plumbers and /or project managers in the gob. :

just have to be careful to remove fingers from the guard before closing blade.
