Tops Home Box Cutter, Pocket Utility Knife

Because I collect knives & always have one in pocket & one on keychain, I'm pretty picky & have high quality standards. I Say that, for what is worth, in order to establish that my words come weighted with experience. This is a Really solid and well made pocket sized utility knife with a durable mock carbon fiber body, an OTF automatic thumb slide opening mechanism & practically placed pocket clip. Pocket clip is perfectly placed for my preference of right handed front right side knife from pocket extraction which I don't find to be a common thing. Poorly placed pocket clip with no option to relocate can be a deal breaker for me. Blade replacement is easy and blade holds solid in place during use. This is certainly sufficient for someone to use as an EDC & has the benefit of being able to have a fresh razor sharp cutting edge to use as frequently as you can swap out blades. *Not to mention you will definitely get "cool points" & impress anyone you show it off to as the combination of having a compact utility knife that opens OTF with a swift automatic switchblade like vigor is likely to be something most people haven't ever seen!

Seems like a good knife no issues. Replaceable blades so no sharpening. Pretty prefect! Just be careful putting in the blade!

Well made and smooth action. Came with extremely razor sharp utility blades and came with spare blades as well.

This little thing is awesome! I replaced my pocket knife I’ve been carrying for years with this one. I like that I can just swap the blade out whenever I need to instead of having to sharpen it. I find that this just lets me keep a sharper blade more consistently. I mostly used my pocket knife for opening boxes anyway, so why not just have an awesome box cutter?

Worked ok until I tried using it at work 2 days later. Opened and I heard a audible ping which I’m assuming was the spring breaking and now it won’t budge.

I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and like it for the most part. OTF's in this price range are a mixed bag and this one works well. Pros: Opening mechanism is reliable as long as you keep it oiled Blades are super easy to change Cons: The knife is sized for blades that are exactly 60mm long which is the standard spec for utility blades. The problem is that the big manufactures (Dewalt Stanley etc.) have blades that are 61mm long which doesn't allow the blades to seat far enough for the locking tab to close in the notch. I believe the blades that come with it are Workpro SK5 blades which are very cheap so not a big deal. The sticker makes it look cheap and I removed it immediately so now there is this weird space that should just be eliminated. The locking mechanism for the blades is fine for light duty work but if you try to do anything rough with it the blade will pop out. Update: Knife is solid after 2 year of almost daily use. I'm shocked. My $400 benchmade OTF hasn't held up as well as this $50 utility knife. I solved the blade fitment issue by grinding the locking mechanism down a bit. Blade retention is still the biggest drawback on this knife otherwise I would give it 5 stars.

This is one of the tools I bought for working in the shop. Not only is it cool and fun to operate, the one handed operation has already saved my bacon twice. It's great and feels higher quality than you'd think for the price.

Cool concept for a box cutter. The blade doesn't just slide out like a normal utility knife. Its spring loaded so the blade pretty much shoots out when the switch is pressed. Downside the locking mechanism can fail, thankfully the blade is secured inside the handle, so the blade won't shoot out too far. But I found that I had to push the blade all the way back in to reset the locking mechanism. Dangerous part, if you don't watch where your finger is, you can cut yourself when the blade shoots out.
