Question 1

How do you remove the packaging?

Accepted Answer

Whoever designed the packaging should be shot - I had to dismantle the knife. Fortunately, I have an iFixit toolkit with what I needed: a pair of scissors, a T10 hex screwdriver (bit) and a pair of tweezers. No major force should be applied during this process - if you're doing it right, gently does the trick.1) With the scissors, I removed the knife from the cardboard mount by cutting in two places: a) where the blade comes out, and b) above the metal tab that slides the blade back and forth.2) Using the hex screwdriver, I removed the central 'axle' that holds the two halves together. This comes out in two pieces, one on each side.3) By spreading the halves of the yellow handle a little bit, I was able to (gently) separate the front grey half of the knife. Careful at this point because a) you can't see this but the knife rotates by a part of the yellow handle sliding in a groove in the front half, and b) there's a loose washer that will fall out and you don't want to lose that.4) Once the two halves were separated, I found that I could pull the remaining cardboard out of the front half using the tweezers because the gap in which in was sitting could widen a bit.5) Reassemble, ensuring the washer is sitting in the circular groove.6) Press the red tab on the underside of the yellow handle to release the black palm rest. You'll be able to see the blades inside the clear plastic7) Using the tweezers, lift up an edge of the plastic film a little (it's surprisingly thick and well stuck on). Then use the scissors to make a small initial cut in the edge of the film, then pull the film off gradually with the tweezers. Once the film is off, you can slide out one of the blades8) To insert a blade, make sure the sliding metal tab on the top of the knife is pushed to the front of its range. While pressing the red button on the side, gently slide in the blade all the way in. Release the red button and give the blade a wiggle (in and out) to ensure it's fitted correctlyOh and to fold the knife, there's a metal lever on the inside of the handle that you depress from underneath to allow the front half to rotate.I'm sure others had more luck removing the cardboard from inside the knife straight away but I found it depends on how it creases as you're trying to pull it out. In any case, fire the person who designed it.

Question 2

Silly question - once opened, how do you close it, I cant see a release catch / button, thanks in advance :)

Accepted Answer

Look underneath where the body folds back in, there's a metal lever which locks the knife open. Press it and fold the knife at the same time. Easy to do one handed when you're used to it!

Question 3

jhow does the handle fold up again on the stanley fatmax utllity knife

Accepted Answer

It folds in the same way that it opens. To open it fully, there is a spring clip inside the slot where the folded knife fits.When you open the knife as far as it will go you'll see the spring clip inside the slot. Press it towards the side of the slot and at the same time pull the knife to open it up. Closing the knife into it's slot works the same way in reverse. Just press the metal spring clip and keep pressing while you push the knife section back into its slot.

Question 4

Does this come with blade

Accepted Answer

Yes they are tucked inside. It took me ages to get it open but if you look at the side inside you will find the blades tucked away. Although I did send this back because it was useless and we used a pair of scissors instead
