rockmeupto125 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I really like the little 6 inch utility knives I pick up at Harbor Freight for 79 cents. They are handy and I don't mind throwing them out. You know the ones I mean. Snap blades, different colors, cheap plastic feed mechanism. I was sitting under a truck the other day sawing at a hard plastic air line and wishing I had a better blade. Is there any similar utility knife you guys have found that has a quality blade. I'm sure it will cost more, but that's not my focus here...just an overall better knife of the relative same design. HF copies most everything it sells from a better product, so I'm sure it's out there. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I gave up on those completely. I'm glad I did. They are just too fragile, and you end up trying to be SOOO careful, and then slice yourself open as a reward. Go ahead, ask me how I know. I have them as a backup in bags, but now never use them. I got a Dewalt folding utility knife and the Dewalt carbide blades that will cut almost anything. Have never looked back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFT Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) I have 1 Kobalt utility knife in the kitchen junk drawer and one in the garage at each house. Easy blade replacement. And the Stanley blades. Edited February 19 by TFT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I just scored a two knife Milwaukee combo set at the local shop for $19, one has a screwdriver on it. https://www.waynedalehardware.com/shop/hand-tools/knives/utility-knives-and-box-cutters/utility-knife/324863-milwaukee-fastback-folding-6-in-1-utility-knife?SKU=395560&gsf=t I also have a Kobalt folder I like as it has a slot onboard for extra blades, but Molly stole that one. Not seeing it on quick search but it is a folder as well. My buddy went hunting in Africa and game them out as gifts to all the guide’s helpers. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-18mm-11-Blade-Folding-Utility-Knife/1001592028 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
