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.

After trying a couple others, I ordered another one of these. The others had a plastic handle, felt cheap, and not comfortable in hand. This one has a metal casing and is heavy, feeling like good quality. I also like that it has a pouch to keep it in. I've had this one for several months, and just ordered an extra one to keep at work. It's a quality knife for a good price.

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.

Great bang for your buck. It's a little bulky compared to some pocket knives, but for a utility knife it's ideal. Wonderful for EDC. I work in a shop currently and use it daily, and I have zero negatives on this. I have the blue one because I heard mixed reviews on the other.

This utility knife works well and feels strong in my hand. The aluminum body is light but still sturdy. I like the quick blade change because it saves time. The locking feature makes it feel safe to use. The holster is also nice to keep it close while working. The only small issue is the handle can feel a little slippery sometimes. Overall it is a solid tool for everyday use.

Perfect for BOH

Very solid but the pocket clip is a little flimsy.still worth the price!

It's rare that I go back so far in time to leave a review, but seeing that I've had some more recent experiences with other utility knives, I simply must do so on this one. First and foremost, absolutely wonderful design! The lock/release button on the side allows for my fingers to be completely out of the way of the blade! While other knives might have a slide design that's more convenient, still others have some nasty switchblade button on the spine that freaks me out. I'd misplaced this one, got a cheap one locally, and time and again realized my mistake of not just ordering a second one of these. I found mine again, so I don't really need two, but if the house monkeys stash this one away again, I'm certain to buy this one as a backup.

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.

Great utility knife, lock works great!

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.
