Customer Review: Finally, a decent combination of pocket knife and utility knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this up, assuming that like most inexpensive hybrid tools, this would be a cheap piece of junk, inheriting the worst of both of its parent tools.
I was pleasantly surprised. The attached blade on this knife is significantly better than most cheap, $30 knives, and the slide mechanism is better than most utility knives. In its price range, it rates about a 9/10. Against pocket knives in general, it's about a 4. On a scale of utility knives in general, it's about an 8.
If you think about it, most of the tasks you perform could probably be done with a utility blade. But, if all you have is your pocket knife, you use it instead. If it's a cheap pocket knife, you probably throw it away once it gets dull.
Well, this knife makes those utility blades handy, so you don't dull the main blade with all the utilitarian tasks. While the main blade is on the lower end of the quality spectrum, you're going to be using it far less than you would otherwise. You'll hold onto this knife far longer than you would any other $20-$30 knife.
The main blade:
There is no "Made in China" stamp on the blade. While this isn't a guarantee of a decent blade, the lack of that cursed stamp is promising. The blade is stamped "STANLEY 420 STAINLESS, which puts it in the lower end of blades, but isn't too bad. Typical of cheap knives, the main blade has poorly ground serrations on half its length. Why knife manufacturers do this is beyond my comprehension. All those serrations do is immediately brand it as a cheap blade. Without those serrations, this would be a pretty decent, 3 1/4" blade. The ONLY thing those serrations are even remotely useful for is cutting rope, and even there, they don't help that much. Get rid of them and you can probably add $5 to the price of the knife. Personally, I'll be taking a belt grinder and sharpener to this thing to fix that mistake.
The thumb-stud safety prevents inadvertent opening of the main blade; there is a second safety that prevents opening one knife while the other is already open. Both are fairly useful features that don't interfere with the main functions of the knife. (I've been injured by cumbersome "safety" features on other utility knives, so idiotic features really lower my opinion of a tool). The liner lock works very well - there is no slop in the open/close direction. There is a slight amount of side-to-side play, but not enough that I'd notice it while using it, and much less than most locking blades in this price range.
The utility blade:
The blade is held very securely. Loading is done by fully extending the slide, and pressing a button to push the blade lock out of the way. I'm not impressed with this type of loading, as you are required to place a certain amount of force on a sharp blade. With hooked blades especially, this is somewhat dangerous. Unfortunately, this loading design is fairly common with utility knives. More unfortunately, it seems to be one of the simples and strongest designs out there, so it's not going away any time soon. Still, it works, and a pair of pliers makes it plenty easy and safe.
There is no integral blade-storage feature on this knife. Unfortunate, but tolerable.
The slide is very smooth. Most utility knives are rough, many will bind in certain positions. Not this one. This one feels like I'm racking the bolt on an old rifle. Lockup is pretty tight for a utility knife. On the lowest, the blade locks out at about a 1/8" depth, perfect for scoring. There is an intermediate lock at 1/2" depth, and full depth is the typical 1".
Disassembly:
The knife disassembles easily. First, remove the utility blade. There is a single screw to pull out, which allows the clamshell sides to open. The front is secured by a simple system of interlocking tabs. The sides open cleanly - there are no spring-loaded parts jumping out of place or other annoyances common of utility knives. Someone put a little thought into this one.
The main blade is held securely on one side, and the slide mechanism is held securely on the other. The main blade is quite massive, and rotates around a large brass pivot. The strength of the design is quite obvious.
The slide for the utility blade is fairly clever, utilizing a guide to keep the blade carriage from binding in the clamshell case and to actuate the locking mechanism. It's lubricated with a heavy grease, which explains the smoothness. It appears quite easy to clean, easier than most pocket knives.
All in all, I'm quite impressed with the knife, especially for the price.
