Amazon Basics Folding Utility Knife Box Cutter with Locking Mechanism, Quick Change Blade, Lightweight Aluminum Body, Holster, Light Blue

...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.

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.

Amazing quality for the price. It is robust and sturdy; has a nice finish on all parts, and feels very high-quality. Has some weight to it (Which some people may not like, but I do); It locks open and locks closed, and yet the lock is easy to release. Ergonomically, it is very comfortable and efficient to use, and there's no chance of the blade falling out while you're using it (unlike my Harbor Freight knife!). All in all, this has quickly become my favorite utility knife. I'll be ordering more, so that I can replace all of my other utility knives with these. Did I mention, it just screams quality! Don't buy one. Buy SEVERAL!

Bought the red one first. Should have read reviews more carefully, several were saying the red one doesn't hold the blade well while the blue one does. Wouldn't even imagine this being the case, but it is. They're built slightly different. The red one I got, the blade chipped so I flipped it but it wouldn't lock in. I tried brand new blades, none would lock in. I put them up against this blade, EXACTLY the same, but none would stay locked. I flipped back to the chipped side, locks fine. Only that side of that blade (I tested about 8 new ones I had). Otherwise nice little cutter, so buy the blue one!

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

I mean - it's a utility knife, right? What's the big deal? They're all the same. That's what I thought once, too, until I went through like a dozen because they were made like crap and weren't very durable. I liked the looks of this - including the folding feature - the reviews were good, as was the price point, so I gave it a shot. I didn't expect to be excited about my purchase, but hey, I am. It's simple and has a nice design, the folding feature and carrying case are very nice plusses, and it works so well. Very well made, and I'm so impressed with it that I'm here writing a review for a utility knife... that's saying something lol

this is amazon basics and every bit as good as my craftsman version..well made and sturdy cutting..would definitely but again

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.

Très pratique et très sécurisé. Parfait pour maquettes et modélisme.

llego pronto ,buen material ,es muy compacto

Mich hat dieses Messer sehr überrascht. Es ist sehr wertig verarbeitet, richtig schwer und stabil. Hatte bei diesem Preis mehr Plastik erwartet. Dazu ist die Klinge (noch) sehr scharf. Der Klappmechanismus (mit Sicherheitsknopf) funktioniert auch gut. Alles in allem ein schickes und gutes Messer für ein gepflegtes Unboxing.

セール時に嫌遠していたユーティリティーナイフ。 日本はオルファがあるので要らへんはさて置き、いい値段になったので購入。 取り出し時流石、お高い方。パッケージのも上に開くタイプの段ボールに入ってる。 でセキュリティーボタンのユーティリティーナイフ。 この手は初めてなので意外に思ったんだが、開くにもセキュリティーボタン要るのはビックリ。 畳んでいる時もセキュリティーボタンでロックされています。 前フリ通り、ボタンで刃も手軽に交換出来ます。 デザイン。 がよくて、ボウイナイフとかクリップポイントでもせりあがったナイフあるけどそんな感じ。 指当てにより色んな持ち方が可能でホルダーのせりあがった所により指当てはないけど深い握りも出来る。 アルミボディなのでグリップ力はそうないけどこういうのは手袋ありきなので目くじら立てるほどかなとは思う。 ハンドルの方にはちゃんと指当てあるしね。 バックフレームあり、ラインヤード掛けれそうなカラビナ状の穴あり。（カラビナではない） ケース。云われるような事はなかった。 一般的なベルトクリップも装備されているので使い勝手は良さそう。折り畳んでる時、せりあがった所が意外にもスゲェ出てるのでびっくりはしたけど。 付属しているケースも中程度のフォールディングナイフ入りそうなので持っていくときに重宝しそう。 仕事寄りのユーティリティーナイフ。おすすめ。 手軽に替え刃手に入るといいんだけどね。
