## Description

Product Description desertcart Basics Folding Utility Knife - Lightweight Aluminum Body with Holster From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics

Review: It cuts like a knife... - ...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.
Review: It will be a great knife until I inevitably lose it. - 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.
