Sheffield 12113 One-Hand Opening Lock-Back Utility Knife, (C

I've spent a couple of years looking for the perfect pocket-carry utility knife and, finally, I think I've found it.Sure, I could carry a regular pocketknife like most do, but I'm not good at remembering to sharpen the blade. That leaves me out and about with a full knife-might as well try to cut through packaging, tape, rope, etc. with a spoon.The everyday utility knife, for me, must have certain features. In no particular order:-Folding. Seems obvious, but I do own a utility knife that doesn't fold. It's not for carry, of course.-Faiely small. I really like the other Sheffield I bought awhile back, except for how much room it takes up in my pocket. That knife is great to have around the house or in the truck, though.-Takes standard utility blades. I'm not buying a pack of weird blades if I can avoid it. And with the standard blades, I can get a trillion for six bucks.-No-tool blade changes. Like so many other people, I own the kind you need a screwdriver to open. I never use that knife, as I don't feel like messing with all that just to flip or change one blade.Basically, this little Sheffield does it all.The belt clip is sturdy. It's made of decent metal, unlike a DeWalt I carried for a few weeks or so. When the cheap belt clip snapped, I went back to knife shopping.The body is also solid and, while thee is no padded or comfort grip, the textured metal is easy to grip even with wet or greasy hands.Blade changes are fast and easy. Sheffield uses a locking swivel of sorts to keep the blade in place. The mechanism locks down so, when I'm using the knife, I don't worry about blade slippage.This knife is also small and lightweight, making it a good addition to my pocket.Is there anything I don't love about this knife? Well, I would like the ability to store even just one spare blade on the knife but, because that's not super important to me, I'm not complaining.Oh, and this knife is inexpensive - more so than some of the cruddy ones I tried before adding this to my Amazon cart.Oh, and the blue version has a nice, vibrant color-hard to lose my knife when it stands out from everything else on the workbench.

Bought a few different knives but they kept breaking. Had this one over a year and still going strong.

I have carried a similar Sheffield knife for almost 20 years. Hope this one lasts the same

I had one of these utility knives and really liked it. So I ordered a spare. The spare is unbelievably difficult to close. It is as if the 'nut' at the hinge of the handle and blade has been tightened far too much. I tried WD40, but no joy. Heads up if you order one.

I've been using this exact style and brand utility knife as my everyday carry for over 20yrs. The longest I kept one was 7 years. I lost it and bout a new one ever since every so many years. I can't believe people do not carry a knife. It's a tool. This one you can eat with, work with etc. And at the end of the day or week you can place a new blade on it and move on. To me it is safer than the turbo or retractable ones, or the spring button ones to remove/change out the blades.
