Fiskars Pro Folding Utility Knife

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.

I unbox and install appliances I use my knife all day every day. I've tried a ton of different utility knives and this one is my favorite so far. I showed it to my coworkers, they were surprised by the weight and comfort nobody wanted to give it back. It feels well made, over built, heavy and comfortable. It doesn't flick open and closed as easily as most but it feels better it's more satisfying. Not great in the pocket. The clip tab needed to be bent up and the rubber makes it hard to pull your knife out but at least it won't slip out.

Great product at a great price. It’s well made and designed. The one feature that stands out is the folding capability that safety stores the blade and shortens the overall length for easy carrying.

After aging and dealing with hand problems I decided the upgrade from the old style utility knife and get something more ergonomic and easier to change blades in. This is the utility knife I wish I bought years ago. The ease of use and hand-to-tool fit is a welcome change to the old style straight knives. The handle is easier to hold and eliminates slippage. I also appreciate the locking blade mechanism that is easy to use and provides a measure of safety. Great job Fiskars!

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.

Compact and sturdy utility knife. Folding action is smooth and dependable.

I've owned 3 of these knives. I will not own a different knife until they stop making this one! I'm a drywall contractor and this knife is the most comfortable while ripping and feel In my hand. The blade holder inside the east open handle is a must have for me!! Best knife if found for drywall

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!

Use to open carton boxes and some cutting of PVC sheet 1mm thickness. Effective.

Excelente navaja utilitaria, gran ergonómica como todos los productos fiskars. Muy compacto en modo cerrado. Se abre con facilidad pero también con seguridad. El agarre es muy bueno debido a los materiales y texturas. La navaja ultra afilada. Es un producto útil con una estética superior y un cuidado en la ergonomía y la funcionalidad notables. Muy recomendable.

Outro padrao de qualidade, comparado aos estiletes comuns, super robusto, ótima empunhadura.

Excellent tool.

Talk about over complicating something. Totally gimmick this thing and doesn't even work. Poor quality poor design, ill fitting. Fiddle around with the blade just to close the case. Then the blade refuses to come out when trying to use it. Don't waste your money. Simple all metal one for 3 x's cheaper beats this on all counts.
