Folding Utility Knife Box Cutter with Back-lock Mechanism, Portable Lightweight Aluminum Handle, Red

...as it should, because that is it's one and only function. This is a great utility knife. The case included with the knife will surely make it easy to carry, I don't intend to carry it, but to each their own. The size, and design of this basic item as well as the blue color are so impressive I began to think maybe we put too much emphasis on the aesthetic of a utility knife, again to each their own. I will say that the design and material are likely a factor in the functionality of the utility knife and the feeling of the knife in your hand while using it, all good on that front. I can't really say much else considering it is a basic item and performs exactly as expected. I would definitely buy again unless the reason I am buying another utility knife is because the current knife has broken in a shorter than expected time frame causing questions about its durability. I will add this regarding some of the other reviews - first, I personally don't make a decision to buy a basic $5 or $6 item based on reviews. That would be be strange, honestly. Second, one review indicates the purchaser paid $3 (1/2 what I paid) and they expected the basic utility knife to be better as far as functionality. What? It opens, it cuts (great blade included), it closes. If you expect a utility knife to be something more than that, you might want to consider that a utility knife is not what you need. What else is a utility knife supposed to do? How could you expect anything more from a basic item that cost only $3 and was delivered to you? Another wanted the blade to have a smoother operation, I think they want it to flip open/shut like a switchblade. To that I say, good luck buying a $6 switchblade and remember that you bought a utility knife, not a switchblade. Definitely worth the price and extraordinary convenience of being delivered directly to my house.

This Amazon Basics folding utility knife has been a great little tool to keep around the house. We use it constantly to break down all the Amazon boxes, and it makes the job quick and easy. The aluminum body feels lightweight but sturdy, and it’s comfortable to hold. It folds up nicely for storage, and it’s been reliable so far for everyday use like cardboard and packaging. Simple, practical, and does exactly what I needed.

This Amazon Basics Utility Knife is a triumph of function over form. While this knife will never win a design competition, looks do not matter, utility does. I truly appreciate elegant design— a Spyderco folding knife is my trusty EDC in another pocket in my pants. This thing works perfectly. Even this lefty can open and close it with one hand. While I have to use my index finger instead of my thumb as a right handed person would, I never have a problem flipping it open and closed with just my left hand. It is strong, compact, durable, easy to grip, and changing the blades is quick and easy. I have never snagged or bent the pocket clip on anything. The bright orange color one that I bought is easy to spot if I ever leave it on a table. I grab this knife about 20 times a day to cut something or more likely open cartons. It is a trusted tool. One other feature is that it is cheap. If I carried a $40 titanium knife that I really like, I would be nervous every time a co-worker wanted to borrow it. If I lost this one, I would just buy another from Amazon.

Typical china made utility knife, a little stiff until oiling, but loosens up and flips open well. comes with a neon sheath (unexpected) and is well proportioned..... for 7 bucks, this is a steal!

Red knife sucks Blue knife is great. Red knife blade does not stay in its holder and will come loose while cutting. Blue knife blade is secured and will not come loose while cutting. Blue knife works well for cutting mule tape and for stripping wire. Blue knife folds open quickly and stores securely. Red knife does not work well for anything as the blade comes loose in all cutting.

Sturdy and the mechanism to open and close works super well!

I got this for $5.67, and at that price, it is definitely a five star purchase. I put a few drops of titanium nano lubricant on the axle and it now works as a one-handed flipper, much like a Milwaukee fastback, which is make or break for me, as I use these in construction all day. It is very robustly built. Some things that I don't like are how large it is, even when closed. I also don't like that it doesn't snap closed when being operated as a flipper and often bounces back open, but once I get the feel for the knife, that will probably improve. I have gone through at least a dozen of these folding utility knives, as they often get lost/stolen/etc. and would say that the original full-sized Milwaukee fastback is still the gold standard for me(aside from the crappy wire pocket clips,) but at $5.67 this is hard to beat. If it were priced above $10, I would buy a different one, though. Edit: after two weeks of using this knife daily at work(construction), I have to say this is a great knife, even if sold for a considerably higher price. It has loosened up and flips in and out so easily now and I have gotten the feel for it. I just wish it had a little smaller footprint when closed, but it is still a fantastic knife.

The Amazon Basics Utility Knife is a simple but dependable tool. It’s lightweight, comfortable in hand, and easy to carry around for day-to-day cutting tasks—like opening boxes, trimming materials, or quick DIY jobs. Affordable: Costs less than most name brands, but does the job just as well. Sturdy feel: The handle is durable and doesn’t feel cheap.

Molto pratico da usare. Prodotto resistente e robusto ma che rimane comunque molto leggero. La lama è molto affilata e il manico comodo da impugnare lo rendono molto pratico. Dotato di un pulsante per poter sostituire la lama all'occorrenza e di una sicurezza, per poter ripiegare il taglierino. Completamente in acciaio è dotato anche di un "gancio" per poterlo agganciare alla cintura.

ちょっと使うのに便利。 良く切れますし、剛性もあるので、硬いものも切れやすいです。 感覚としまして、刃の感じは、ごっついカッターナイフという感じです。

Ce couteau utilitaire pliable Amazon Basics est une vraie trouvaille ! Son corps en aluminium le rend à la fois léger et robuste, parfait pour l'emporter partout sans alourdir ma boîte à outils. La couleur rouge vif est super pratique pour ne pas le perdre dans le désordre. Il se plie et se déplie facilement, avec un mécanisme de verrouillage solide qui inspire confiance – pas de jeu dans la lame, et elle reste bien en place. Les lames fournies sont tranchantes comme il faut, et le changement de lame est rapide sans outils compliqués. J'ai utilisé ce couteau pour découper du carton, du plastique et même des matériaux plus résistants, et il tient le coup sans problème. Pour le prix, c'est un excellent rapport qualité-prix, bien meilleur que certains modèles plus chers. Je le recommande vivement pour les bricoleurs occasionnels ou pros !

I bought this knife 3 years ago, and it is still serving me well, I use it basically everyday at work to cut plastic wrap and other materials, changing the blade is of course a simple task. This knife is durable too, I have dropped it from about 4 feel many times and it still works just fine, no issues. I am super happy with the durability of this knife and I'd definitely recommend it if anyone needs a simple and durable knife to use daily.

Perfetto!svolge molto bene il suo lavoro robusto,comodo e con 2 lame all'interno!lo consiglio.prezzo corretto.
