Fiskars Pro Retractable Folding Utility Knife, Box Cutter with Long-Lasting CarbonMax Razor Blade and Dual Lock Safety, Orange/Black

This isn't the most compact EDC Ultility knife, but it is the best Every Day Use utility knife - IF you do not need to change out the blade daily (unless you compensate).This blade is comfy af. I have discovered new hand positions for specific tasks with this Utility Knife. A deliberate and precise cut is achieved by laying the index finger along the top and adjusting hand positional... naturally (a recurring feature of this knife). A deep cut, precise cut, sideways cut and others all have a specific, natural hand position you will discover with use. Even the metal end cap to strike a blow. There is a hand position for that (actually 2, one I prefer, YMMV).This thing is so well thought out and hand friendly for so many tasks. Minimalists should run. Not your game. Every other need should grab this. Fiskars really needs to figure out some blade storage. I don't even care if it is 1-2 spare blades. Give us the one needed improvement on this absolute 9.0 gem of a Utility knife. You know what you need to do for a 10. Do it. I dare you.

Nothing is without flaw if you look hard enough. I have not had many issues with this knife so I'll clue you in on my experience,Pros:- Folding Function: The blade can swivel open with a flick of the wrist and it feels solid once it's locked. No rattle and no fear of it accidentally closing on you. Retracting is just as easy.- Blade Change: Tool-less blade replacement is super easy by a compound press and slide lock. I don't often use gloves so can't speak for the ease of use with them on.- Ergonomics: This is by far the most comfortable utility knife I have used comparing to various styles of those cheap two piece utility knifes. It fits in my hand perfectly and feels more controlled in my hand. I wear size L gloves btw.-Construction: This thing feels solid. It's got some weight to it and metal in all the right places. The orange part is a rubbery coating similar to those in a cordless drill handle and the plastic feels sturdy as well. Acceptable rattle from the blade I feel as well.Cons:- Clip: This thing has been super stiff and useless from the very beginning. It lays too flat to the body of the knife to be able to pry it out without hurting a fingernail and too pronounced from the body to make it noticeable. Not the biggest deal, I've just learned to live with it. Just put it in your pocket and try to ignore it.- Blade storage: There is no blade storage inside the knife but I never found that to be a huge deal because I rarely find myself needing to change a blade more than once a day. I just flip it and boom, fresh blade. Still, no blade storage if that's important to you.-Rust: I have seen others mention rust and yes, mine came with a bit of rust on the clip which is unfortunate. The clip is useless to me anyways and a good part of the knife is made of plastic and what I'm guessing to be aluminum on the actual blade housing. Some internals in the swivel mechanism may be corrosive so they might be rusty as well so just something too think about.Overall, the knife feels well made with a few flaws that don't hold it back enough to put it in the same tier with most knives out there. The one I have is the swivel lock version, so may be prone to malfunction since it has more moving parts although it has never failed on me. For the price of $12-$15, it's a good buy since you pay for the ease of mind when you use it.

Fantastic: *rugged*, easy to open/close, doesn't accidentally close , comfortable to use for extended time, blade changes are easy.Bought to replace my original that was apparently eaten by snakes or something: Poof! Gone...Use every day for breaking down boxes, opening packages, trimming, wire skinning/stripping and so on.I understand that these are no longer in production, so I grabbed a couple for spares as well.You know, juuuust in case some of them get eaten by snakes!

The Fiskars Pro line is generally good quality add this knife is no exception. Key feature that sets this apart from other folding type utility knives is the blade retention. It is absolutely solid on this knife and the blades do not pull out under any conditions. For that feature alone, the night is highly recommended.

I’ve had a ton of box cutters. Folding, auto retracting, plastic, metal, etc. This is my favorite box cutter I’ve ever had. It’s very comfortable and ergonomic (surprised how comfortable it is). Functionality is the most important though. It has a slight curve which I feel gives you more leverage to increase power and speed when using. The slide to take apart to replace the blade is very clever. I like it and it’s easy and quick to change the blade.The one thing I dislike about the product, it only comes with one blade! I’ve never bought a box cutter without extras. It’s a money grabbing move to try and promote their blades which I think are similar to others at a mid price point.

Bit on the expensive side for utility knives, but worth the extra cost imho. Other utility knives in the category are more than adequate, but I've had to remove the pocket clip because they're unwieldy, this one I don't have to. Closing and opening are good enough (what are you really looking for in a pocket knife) and the rest of it seems durable.

Great product! Went through lots of cheap Walmart sold brands that couldn't take a beating. Very durable. Had to tighten the clip screws, but they've not budged in a while now.

Love everything about this. Quality of product to sharpness of the blade. It good for everything you need around the house. Helps open boxes to cutting boxes down for recycling. Highly recommend for anyone that needs a box cutter for everyday use.
