OLFAWORKS OW-UCK-1/SB Utility Camp Knife High Carbon Stainless Steel Blade - Multipurpose Outdoor Knife, Great for and Camping Activities - Brass Wheel Lock, Replacement Blade: OWB-UCB-1 (Olive)

works great.

I saw this OLFA WORKS utility knife and was intrigued because you can replace the blade. This arrived and I opened it up and put the cord on it. This has a nice way of working, you tighten a nut to release the knife, and the blade comes out and then tighten the nut again to hold it in place. The blade is extremely sharp and works well at cutting boxes and twine. I did notice if you try to push the knife into something (I was trying to make a hole in drywall) and the nut will allow the blade to slide back into the handle. I tried to tighten the nut as tight as I could get it, but this type of cutting will not work (which it likely is not meant for). Overall, this is a very sharp blade, and I love the fact that it can be replaced. I like the design of the blade and handle and think it's a great product.

Love this. Very slicey

Nice little retractable knife that is way over priced for what it is. This knife has very limited use in a camping setting.

This is a very balanced and sharp knife. I have many knives, but this is one of my favorites especially from a price stand point

Prior to ordering this knife I was familiar with Olfa's rotary and utility blades. Knowing that those are always well regarded I was curious to see how their foray into the bushcrafting world would go. I have to say I am very impressed by the knife even though I don't consider it a "bushcrafting knife". What first impressed me about this knife is how solid it is. I was worried that since the house was metal there would be the potential for the opening where the blade slides out to get crushed in a way that would prevent the sliding operation. Thankfully it is built very tough and using my hands to squeeze I noticed minimal flex. If you stepped on it with your heel there might be a chance of bending it but if you keep it in your pocket I think you would get hurt before the knife does. The blade itself offers a lot of different functionality based on how far you slide it out. I used it slid out just a little bit to open boxes and then out even further to cut up a cucumber, it did great at both. You could easily sharpen the blade if you wanted to but thankfully worst case scenario, you could just replace it. The paracord that is included was somewhat a pain to thread but after a little persistence I was able to get it through. While this knife is great for use around a camp or for EDC I wouldn't consider it a bushcrafting knife. The reason being is it doesn't have 90 degree spine so you can't use a ferro rod with it. Also, there's no way you could use this knife to do other bushcraft tasks like splitting a log, removing a branch, etc. Thankfully it's labeled as a camp knife, which it can do plenty around camp, but ultimately I think bushcrafting should be removed from the list of recommended uses.

It's well built with quality materials. This is what I would expect from Japanese stainless steel and the history of meticulous manufacturing. All parts are well engineered and the fit has some pretty close tolerances, there is no wiggle in this setup. This knife is ridiculous sharp and has a blade design that lends it to utility work of all types, though it's not really long enough to be very helpful in slicing a tomato. The steel is easy to sharpen. Though you will lose your serrated edge unless you are good with those.Even though when iit is locked in place the blade does not move... But, I still would not trust the knob to not come loose in my pocket and the knife opening. I would store this one in a pack, or exterior pouch to be safe.

Like other reviewers, I truly appreciate Olfa's Made-In-Japan quality. The knife edges are sharp, the blades lock where you want 'em with a dead simple screw, and--especially in the case of this knife--they are tough as nails.There is nothing not to like.That said, this camp knife is simply the "OLFA Craft Knife, L-Shaped, 34B" with a coat of paint and a modified blade. And the blade is simply an "OLFA Craft Knife L Type Replacement Blade XB34" reground with a 1/2 inch serration of questionable value and a hook for" lifting hot cooking utensils or venting a can." And while the straight-edge blades are 2 for $7, the modified blade is $10 for a single.Don't get me wrong--this is a great knife. But if you forego the green paint and lanyard cord you can buy the same knife with a simple straight-edge blade for $7 instead of $24. And if you really like the features of the modified blade, you can add it to the same handle for $10, giving you the same thing as the Olfa Works version for $17 instead of $24.For me, I think the straight-edge blade makes more sense, as it is easier to sharpen and provides a longer cutting edge for other camp knife chores.All that being said, however, this knife is still a solid value at $24, and whichever version you choose is going to be a valuable addition to your pack or pocket. I love that it is all stainless for easy cleanup after (or before) food prep, and it comes apart easily for a thorough cleaning.But for my money, I'll take the $7 basic model and live without the green paint.
