CRAFTSMAN High-Visibility Folding Utility Knife with 1 Blade (CMHT10352)

You can never have enough box cutters it feels like. This one is great. I love that it is neon green so it's easy to spot from across the room, because I apparently need a ton of box cutters because I always use them. I also like that this one folds. The blade is sharp and it is easy to use. It is super versatile and I definitely use it a lot in my art and craft.

I love Craftsman tools, and they make up the bulk of the hand tools I have in my garage. Brightly colored tools seem to be more prevalent these days and I like that. It makes them easier to spot. The quality of this knife is excellent, as I would expect from Craftsman. In terms of design, I think it could be better. Changing out the blade is easy with this knife. My other utility knife requires a screwdriver and disassembly to change out the blade, but the Craftsman blades slides out with the press of a button. That's great. But the opening mechanism could be better designed. There is no thumb stud for one-hand opening, and the groove for your thumbnail is on the wrong side for right-handers (i.e. those of us who make of the majority of the world). So to opening the knife requires two hands and flipping the knife upside down, with the blade pointed toward your body, unless you're in the habit of opening knives with the fingernail of your left index finger. I find that awkward. The button to release the locking mechanism to close the knife is appropriately triggered by your right thumb, as it should be, so I don't understand the odd design choice for the opening. All told, it is a great knife and a quality Craftsman tool, but they really could have done a little better with design from my perspective.

This CRAFTSMAN folding utility knife immediately catches your eye with its bright red handle, which is genuinely helpful for spotting it easily in a crowded toolbox or if you happen to set it down while working. The handle itself feels quite solid and durable in the hand, providing a good grip. Opening the blade is a smooth one-handed operation [assuming typical design], and more importantly, it locks open very securely with a distinct click – there's no blade wobble, making it feel safe to use. To close it, there's a straightforward release lever or button that you press, allowing the blade to fold neatly back into the handle. It comes with one standard utility blade pre-installed, which was sharp and ready to use right away for opening boxes or cutting tape cleanly. The mechanism for changing blades looks like a quick-release button near the blade holder, pretty standard and easy to figure out. It’s a solid, functional folding utility knife, and that high-visibility color is a really practical feature.

It's been the perfect knife for opening all the packages my family and I get, with the plus of being super easy to find with how bright it is. The included blades have held up really well and I haven't had to replace them yet, though it has only been a couple months of use. Really happy with it!

I prefer this type of fold-out utility knife versus the older style with the retractable blade that always seems to slip back into the knife when I trying to use it. This one, once flipped out and ready, cuts through boxes with ease and the blade stays out and locked until folded up. The bright color makes it very easy to find the knife when you've laid it down and then are trying to remember where you left it. Build quality seems decent and like the features of the reversible belt clip and fold-out blade storage. You only get one blade with the knife, so are going to have to supply your own to make use of that storage feature.

For years, I used an X-Acto Woodcarving Knife for everything, including cutting open packages.It broke, I bought a new one at Michaels, the new version is absolutely useless. Waste of $13 since their return policy requires the item to be unopened.This knife? Great sharpness. I love being able to keep it in my pocket all day. Easily cuts through tape or cardboard when the box is glued shut.But it’s pretty heavy and bulky, almost like a phone in my pocket. The button to open the knife is quite hard to press; sometimes I have to use both hands. For my one-handed openings, I tilt the blade upside down or at an angle so that gravity pulls it to the open or closed position. I don't find it to flip reliably, so gravity it is.The knife isn't perfect, but it gets the job done.

Fantastic utility knife - durable, sharp, and easy to open/close,

The high visibility feature (color) is actually quite useful. This tool is easy to find when you set down in a messy work area, or crowded tool box/bag/drawer/etc. The blade locks up tight in both the open and close position so it is safe to use and carry. It’s quick and easy to change the blades and the onboard blade storage is convenient. I only have the one blade included, but it looks like you could stow two blades (I’m not positive about that though). Overall the quality is very good, why not 5-stars?Well for one, the lock release button is in an awkward position and can be difficult to press when using the tool one handed. This makes it hard and uncomfortable to whip it open with one hand. It’s doable, but not ideal, and not has easy and smooth as other folding utility knives I’ve used. The second reason is that they only include a single blade. Ideally, they’d include at least 3 blades, but at a minimum I’d expect two.
