I live in Asia, and I NEED a utility knife , AND it has to survive dropping onto cement and tile floors. I have been through quite a few over the years, and most die when dropped. I bought a CTC utility knife that surprised me enough to purchase 3 more. It not only survived being dropped with NO damage, but it has everything that I look for in a normal pocket knife. It solidly locks into place in 4 positions, has a very good pocket clip and a lanyard hole. The only thing that it doesn't have is blade storage, but I usually carry a 5 pack of extra blades with it. It has become my wife's favorite tool, and she uses it almost every day. It has been great for her to use with all of the shipping boxes that are constantly in and out of our place. I got one for my neighbour as well, because he dropped his Stanley utility knife and it shattered.

That was a good review. I like the exact use of associated nomenclature. Anyone who watches this video will acquire a few new words! Educational! And you clearly described some functionality and design flaws of the Stanley. ...maybe that's how they avoided patent infringement: the 10% legal variation from the originator's design...

Ya know, Lowes was selling a work knife almost identical to Milwaukee's, along with a fixed blade knife, for $10 a few Christmases ago. Bought one and liked it so much that I bought two more sets. Use them all the time. Just wish they weren't black. Not as easy to see. As for legality, even though I bought them at a local store, they're were illegal in the state at the time. As was mentioned in the video, apparently the law in NY changed since then. I didn't know.

Five months later, this vid came up in my feed. Just happened to have purchased a couple of Milwaukee knives including the one in the video. Same idea as the Kobalt I described above, but with a more refined execution and feature set. Long story short, one of the best knives of its kind I'd used. If it weren't for the Fiskars Pro, it would likely take the top spot in my shop.

Anybody know what kind of Böker that is exactly?

Well, if fast deployment was either dangerous or illegal or concerning to some, you should probably get a knife with slow deployment needing two hands.

How do you feel about the axis assist?

I like thew axis assist. It's a good compromise when a full auto is not an option or safe.

@@lastbesttool I feel like it negates one of the biggest advantages of the axis lock and that's the ability to close the knife one handed with the flick of the wrist

Where to buy

Milwaukee blades at Home Depot. Benchmade from Amazon or other online dealers. Snap On from truck or online. And don't buy the Stanley from anywhere.

Home Depot is a great great place. Changing to there and leaving shitty LOWES’s

That Stanley folding knife is uncomfortable just to look at, let alone handle or actually use. It includes nearly every big no-no I have for folding knives - tanto point blade, part-serrated blade, aggressive jimping, finger grooves (three of them?! Was it designed for cartoon characters?), and a big, clunky, metal handle covered in sharp edges and hot spots. The only thing it's lacking is a useless bottle opener feature designed to dig into your palm.

Kobalt just as smooth flip knife

👍👍👏👏

Hey Doc, the Truck Guy here. I just posted a new video that you might get a kick out of: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5yGpdGpY8K7c7g.html. Let me know what you think.
