Amazon Basics Folding Utility Knife, Lightweight Aluminum Body, Red

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.

The knife is very sharp and easy to handle. Good quality, lightweight, and works well for everyday use. Great value for the price.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

’ve been using this folding utility knife for my home crafts, and it’s been a game-changer! The lightweight aluminum body makes it easy to handle, and it’s incredibly practical for cutting through various materials. It’s small and comes with a protective case that has a strap, allowing you to attach it to your belt for easy access. The quality is top-notch, and it folds up neatly for safe storage. It’s become an essential tool for all my DIY projects. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves crafting or needs a reliable utility knife!

I was impressed with the obvious quality and sturdiness of this utility knife. However, there were a couple of features that one should be aware of before purchasing. The first is that it does not store any extra blades the way most of the less expensive ones do. Keep in mind that the one blade that it does hold can be reversed. The second, unlike what is shown in one of the videos, it is not a one-hand operation. Maybe if the bolt holding the blade were looser it might be, but out of the box it takes one hand to depress the release button and another to extract the blade. If you can get past those two things then this is a great utility knife for the money. One final comment - it comes in a very nice canvas pouch with a belt loop and a velcro closure. So you have two ways to attach it to your belt. You can use the metal clip on the knife itself, or you can keep it in the pouch which would stay on your belt.

Very well design, the quality seems durable and the color is bright red orange . A button to push in new blades the black grip finger padding for comfort and control .

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Purchased this putty knife to apply putty. It did that. Remarkably, it is shaped like a small, flat knife, which is exactly what I expected when I typed “putty knife” into the search bar.The handle is handle-shaped. The blade is blade-shaped. When I hold it, it remains in my hand. When I put it down, it stops being in my hand. This cycle has repeated several times now without fail.I used it to scrape some paint, too. The paint didn’t want to leave. The putty knife insisted. The putty knife won.Haven’t named it yet, but we’ve been through a lot together.Highly recommended, unless you don’t need a putty knife. In that case, this is not for you.

Good Quality and Sharp. Cuts with Ease.
