Utility Knife & 11 Blades, Foldable Speed Release Quick Change Box Cutter

I now have three of these knives and plan on buying them again as needed in the future. They're really well made and sturdy; holding up great during the renovations I'm doing on my house. Using these to cut just about everything; cardboard, carpet, padding, vinyl plank flooring, you name it. The blades are tough - I haven't changed some of them out after two weeks of heavy use. They're incredibly easy to change out by gripping down on the two notches behind the blade. It's easy to fold the blade, too - ensuring I don't slice a knee open while I'm crawling around putting down my flooring. No chance of them popping back open on their own. The blue is nice because they standout among other tools, so when I have them in a big pile of 'stuff' or in a bucket, etc., I can pretty easily see one. The price is a bit of a steal on these. Highly suggest picking one up.

Excellent box cutter, very sharp, easy to use, and supreme build.

This product has made my life a lot easier. I order a lot of things online, including most of my groceries, so I have a LOT of boxes to break up to be recycled. I used to try using scissors and then ripping them apart, it was a lot of work! This has made things so much easier! I will say that the buttons you have to push down to release the blade are pretty stiff in the beginning. I'm glad someone else mentioned this in their review. I thought I was doing something wrong. I kept re-reading the simple instructions, but the blade wouldn't budge. And then I read someone else had posted that they are stiff in the beginning and you have to keep pushing on them to loosen them up. That's what happened. I put it down for awhile and every now and then I'd go back and try again, and eventually the buttons went down when I pushed on them and I was able to tug on the blade. That was the only issue I had, and it wasn't a big deal. After that, I was able to use the blade to cut up quite a few boxes I had stacked up. It will definitely make my life easier. I'm glad I bought it!

Loved the ease of which the blade opens and stays latched for safety. The guard that comes with it to protect the blade when not in use. It locks closed and stays closed. Compact for ease to carry in a pocket, the color pops and stands out. It is highly durable, and with the extra blades it makes it easy to change when your blade gets dull. The price point is what I loved most and Lowe’s has decided to bring in another brand to their stores so to find Kobalt on Amazon, I jumped at getting one.

This is the nicest utility knife I have owned. I always just got the cheap ones before but I use a razor so often in wood working and crafts that I figured I would "spoil" myself. Totally worth it. Perhaps more expensive ones are even nicer, I won't know because this one does it for me. Holds the blade really well, spring is nice, closes easily, cuts like a dream. My only complaint would be that the release mechanism to close the blade forces you to put your hand a tiny bit in harms way, but that is trifling. Super satisfied.

This one is very difficult to open. One handed would be a chore. If that is not important, then this is a good blade. The other folding Kobalt that has the button is much better for my particular needs. Features I need are: 1. Sharp blade to cut cardboard, plastic, and cordage quickly. 2. Fast out of the pocket, fast to deploy, fast to redeploy, fast back in the pocket (one handed). 3. Precision in depth of cut and minimal blade thickness. 4. Durability and repeatability of #1-3. 5. Cheap. This knife is everything except #2. For home use it would be great. Very durable. Just not fast open and close for work.

Feels solid, high quality. Good grip with the an indentation for your forefinger to securely hold it and guide the cut. Using it to replace a cheap one that fell apart from light use. I just bought a house and ordered a lot of furniture for it. I have been cutting up many large cardboard boxes for the last few weeks, and this one is helping me greatly, I keep it in my pocket because I find that I can always use it for something. It's small because it doesn't store the spare blades internally so it fits comfortably in my pocket. It takes two hands to open and close it, which I don't mind because I think it's safer with a blade so sharp. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with any instructions at all. It's not hard to figure it out but with a dangerous, sharp, cutting tool it's better to have written instructions and precautions for safe operation. The package mine came in did not have the instructions printed on the back that you see in the product photos.

Absolutely love my knife. Very heavy duty. It's a bit stiff to open and close but that should ease up with use. I had a knife just like it and I gave it to a customer at work because she loved it. So I had to get me another one.
