Otacle U1 Folding Utility Knife, Quick Change Box Cutter with Rail Lock, EDC Razor Knife with Pocket Clip for Office, Factory (Green Micarta)

This is a great little tool! I used it daily to open packages, and to break down boxes for recycling, as well as opening many other things like a stubborn package of bacon this evening. It clips into a pocket, and slides out and open instantly with the handy ambidextrous thumb knobs, and then one handed closes with the ambi slide lock and slips back into the pocket. I stuck a small braided paracord lanyard on it to make that even quicker. I recently moved into a new house, and of course ordered umpteen packages of furnishings and stuff needed. But early in that process of getting settled in, I misplaced this little tool, so I immediately ordered a second one! A few days later, my daughter found it at the bottom of a stack of cardboard boxes I had been breaking down! What a relief! So now I have two, in case I misplace it again! Pros:: -small, fits hand and pocket easily -lightweight -rapid deployment for assaulting endless amazon boxes -blade quickly replaced with one small thumb screw -Looks cool with the CF scales! Cons: -so small it’s easy to misplace! I’ve always like olight’s flashlights—well engineered and reliable. Now their well-designed other EDC gear is another affordable daily pleasure.

My only long term concern is the screw down blade holder. The screw is tiny. Only time will tell if the threads hold up or it gets lost etc. Other than that, this is just perfect for opening packages at home and keeping staple scratches and glue off your main blade. Great quality and action. Fits in the change/watch pocket of my jeans. Not designed to replace regular box cutters in a work environment, but perfect for edc box, package, etc chores around the house. Comes with a small multi tool and paracord to tie a lanyard which I did. The macarta is awesome.

I absolutely love this thing. It's everything I didn't know I needed in a utility knife. It exposes the maximum blade length, it holds the blade completely securely with no play, it fits well in my hand, it has butter smooth opening and closing action, a very nice open/close locking mechanism, it frankly looks cool... it's fantastic. It's like a decent proper knife with the features to match, but it's a utility knife with a replaceable blade. The only thing I don't like about it is that the screw which holds the blade so securely could be prone to over-tightening / stripping and requires a tool (either the one that is included, or a set of pliers to grip the tightening screw securely). Maybe it's not necessary to crank it down so hard, but I'm just matching the torque that I had to undo from the factory. When I didn't go so hard on it, the blade did seem like it could be prone to some movement (but still no more, and far less than the crap you get at the big box stores from "name brands" which just rattle around in the housing). Still, it's the one thing that isn't perfect.

The pivot is strange. It's simultaneously crunchy, and very free turning. There's no resistance to it swinging around at all, but it does not feel smooth. The screw to lock the blade down is tough to get tight enough by hand, I use small pliers. The spine being thicker than the blade is unavoidable for a utility blade holder like this, and it does have the drawback that the spine can snag a bit when cutting through sheets (like cardboard) Those are my only gripes. Other than that, it's a solid little inexpensive edc knife. There's very little to no blade play when locked. It's very easy to operate one-handed. Exposing so much of a utility blade is an excellent idea and works great. It's thin and light. Definitely recommended.

I wanted a box cutter that was unique. This is the best I found. I am a chef. I carry and use a box cutter all day. I like this one a lot: It is small, fits neatly in my apron. I like the way more of the cutting edge is exposed, as opposed to others where only half of the blade is available. I like the satisfying way it opens and closes on bearings..very smooth. I like the donut pattern! My coworkers are jealous. I am a bit concerned about losing the provided tool to change the blade....I would only need a little pliers, but it is a small downside compared to others that have quick releases for the blades. I would likely buy it again over other styles. They should make more designs besides american flag and donuts....

This utility knife met all of my expectations and then some. I chose this knife because I wanted a compact, well made knife for my EDC piece and it’s met every requirement one could have for this purpose. The build quality is better than I had expected with all materials being of excellent quality and the fit and finish is flawless. All moving parts are smooth and easy to operate making this knife easy to open and close with one hand … one requirement I find mandatory for daily use. Given the price Amazon is asking for this knife makes it a no brainer.

It’s very fun, great snappy action. Axis lock is good and can be easily manipulated with one hand. My only downside is it is about as small as you could make this. I have quite large hands and would prefer a little extra length in the handle but I think for the vast majority of people this will very comfortable. All good quality parts, appears to be quite durable. Obviously going to be as sharp as the blade you keep in it, which thankfully is quite easy to change. I’d recommend this over the Civivi elementum utility as there is no Torx bit required to change the blade.

Me grado el peso y la forma de abrir... pero no me gustó el accesorio por que viene suelto y no hay forma de llevarlos juntos, tuve que amarrarlo con la cuerda que viene incluida ya que sino se me va a perder

This knife has exceeded my expectations by a long shot. The Pink Sprinkle finish is bloody awesome, the pink is really solid the whole way through, the sprinkles look great, but I'm not sure if they go through the g10 layers as well, or are just screen printed on (This coming from a bloke who also edc's a leatherman MUT). The mechanism is second to none, I was expecting some side wiggle, but no, its really solid and the pivot mechanism is smooth (and getting smoother with use) The blade utilization size is also really useful (also a bit scary whilst getting used to it, compared to other smaller utility blades, whilst flicking open/closed) Overall my #1 favourite knife at the moment, the only negatives I can find so far (daily use in mechanical retail cutting everything) are that the blade retention system doesnt allow for some of the "unique" utility blade designs, like the twin seatbelt-cutter style blades and some of the longer hook blades, simply by design they wont work, as this knife uses a friction plate retention, with the blade sandwiched between either plate, compared with most others that solely use the retention indents at the top of the blades. But overall a top tier utility knife, highly reccomend to anyone.

These are incredible value, they are built so well, super easy to use one handed and they just look awesome! Love it as a edc tool and no need to sharpen blades, just replace them for cents, so good. P.s everything Olight and Oknife I have found has incredible fit and finish for the price, just destroys the competition.

As an American living in Australia, I don't get to buy the stars and stripes models from Olights Australia store, but I can off Amazon! Aside from that it's one of the finest utility knives I own, it's too hard to go back to non-ball bearing knives and I like that more of the blade is exposed. More wasteful, but more usable blade. Tool-less blade change is welcomed too
