Review: Just buy it. - Favorite knife I have ever owned. I have two of them and they can tackle any task. I dont think ill ever buy a different pocket knife. I work with pools and find my self using this for quick wire stripping frequently. Definitely need to pickup some new blades soon, they last for months typically and dont even rust when exposed to chlorinated water.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Need a knife to cut through rubber horse stall mats to fit a certain area.  Would this be the answer?**
A: That's gonna be about the hardest on a knife blade possible. I'm not sure that blade design is the best, but it should do it. I've seen carpet knives with similar shapes. You'll want to buy lots of extra blades.

**Q: how many blades come with this knife?**
A: It only comes with one blade.

**Q: Would this be good to cut carpet?**
A: I'm not a carpet guy, but I would think that it would be fine. I'm sure there are better knives specifically designed for carpet cutting, though.

**Q: Can a saws all blade be attached to the handle?**
A: No, but Klein sells one that does have a detachable/replaceable Sawzall, drywall saw blade. It's also foldable like this one. Its called "Klein Folding Jab Saw, Drywall Saw 31737"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use good value

Awesome knife, very strong , you can interchange blades , perfect sized utility knife,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ bought it for cutting sod
*by N***N on May 15, 2020*

UPDATE: Well, this knife was great for cutting sod. However, it dulled almost immediately. I was hoping to get at least 3 or 4 uses out of it, but one use of several cuts was all the blade could take. I know that cutting sod is not what the knife is designed for, so you can take that comment or leave it. I will have to find another tool for cutting sod. Original review: I wonder if South Florida is the only place where you use sod instead of grass seed? When installing a square of sod (grass growing out of a chunk of dirt), you may have to fit it around a curved area, or fit it into a spot of bare ground. I bought this curved "hawk bill" knife to cut either the grass that is already growing, so I can put in a full square of sod; or to cut the piece of sod to fit my space. I'm not doing a complete lawn; I'm just patching the brown or bare spots. I am using the knife to cut straight down through the grass and the roots, and then use a spade or shovel to remove what is not wanted. So far, this knife has done the job. It is strong enough and sharp enough. It opened and closed a little stiffly the first couple of times, but then it seemed to get better. I always wear thick leather gloves when doing yard work, so I close this knife with gloves on. You have to endanger yourself to close it--you have to squeeze the bottom of the knife handle to release the lock on the blade. But the blade doesn't snap back, and you can hold the blade with your other hand to guide it when closing the knife. Using a handheld knife instead of a power tool gives me more control of what I'm doing. I just have to remember to keep my feet out of the direction of my cuts. I looked at a LOT of knives and read all the reviews. This seemed to be the best answer to my needs.
