ikepete Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I don't have a picture of the ones I have used but I like ones that you squeeze and the blade comes out. Instead of having to hold blade out with the buttonSent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I've actually got a Festool one that requires you hold the blade out by the push trigger. I hate that friggin thing! One of my favorites is my Milwaukee switchback folder. Not a Big Red fan but that thing is awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikepete Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Not something you carry in your pocket but if you have a lot of cutting to do it's easier on your hands Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 going to be honest here, if i'm going to carry a knife around all day it better be a good one. I'm safe I'm smart and I know how to use a knife so it doesn't have to have 50 safety features I just want it to cut when I need it too.

BMack37 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I like the Milwaukee, the one without the blade storage. I like it thin and quick to get the blade out or close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I'm not actually suppose to have anything sharp for another 6 months.....(stupid court orders pff) all because my therapist thinks my Milwaukee fastback is dangerous......then again it might be because I called him a %$^#in nutjob and I would shove that Dangerous Milwaukee fastback up his ass if I ever seen him on the street....... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quick access blade storage and quick blade change are nice. Not a big fan of the ones that require unscrewing a screw to access or change blades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always seemed to not work very good. I eventually had it and got a quick change one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builditguy Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 They all used to have screws. Always use a nail to open them up. Went with Irwin a long time ago. Not a box knife, but the Milwaukee folding, easy open, knife, is the best pocket knife I've ever had. These days I use it more than a box knife Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I had a stanley that was nice as hell but it didn't retract, you had to take out the blade...and it only came out with a screw. I think I still have it in one of my "extras" tool boxes, it wasn't even that old, early 2000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first utility knife I owned was the screw type except with retract function lasted less than a couple months before becoming unusable.
