Milwaukee Foldable Pocket Knife Fastback 4932471357

Just a really solid folding utility knife. A lot of folding knives are a little flimsy - fine for cutting boxes, but for things like carpet they struggle. The bigger knives that are great for those tough jobs tend to be larger and heavier, fine in a toolbox but a bit much in a pocket. This Milwaukee hits the middle ground perfectly. Folds neatly in the pocket, unfolds to a solid knife you can use on the toughest jobs. It's my most used knife. Builders keep nicking it so I have to buy is again. Note for UK: since the blade locks in place, this isn't legal as an every day carry. It wouldn't be as safe or secure if it didn't lock (the UK law is stupid).

Glad I took a punt on this after reading some reviews. I actually really only needed a decent blade for box cutting but thought I’d get something sturdier just in case I ever need it and I’m glad I did. The included blade is razor sharp and has no trouble gliding through thick cardboard like butter, with very little effort. It’s compact enough to pocket if you’re working, and light in the hand without compromising on build quality thanks to the metal grip. It’s also not remotely bulky either. The blade locks in place when open, which is easily done by pressing the release and flicking the wrist, and when you’re done it sits flush and locked inside the handle, so it feels nice and safe too. The only real drawback for me is that it didn’t include any extra blades for the future, but otherwise this is an absolutely perfect knife that should last a good while and handle a good range of tough jobs. Side note for UK buyers: because of the locking mechanism there are legal restrictions in place if you’re ever carrying this outside the home without good reason, so do bare that in mind!

Very solid utility knife. The Fastback mechanism is smooth and locks positively, with no blade wobble and no risk of the blade coming loose on its own exactly what you want on site. Feels sturdy in the hand, compact in the pocket, and built to take abuse. This is not a fancy knife, it’s a real work tool . Milwaukee quality as expected.

Sturdy, easily fits in my pocket and is safe when used correctly Folds in and out nice and quick and locks securely in place when not in use Blades are easily replaced when they are no longer sufficiently sharp Best handy little knife out there I think

I love this knife. It’s really useful. It’s very sturdy and I also like the blade storage feature. The blades don’t pull out when you put pressure on them unlike some other knives and it has a really satisfying opening mechanism where you can flick the knife open and it’s really satisfying.

Lovely. I bought this rather than use work knives. Now I always have a sharp knife. And no searching for invariably blunt knives. Honestly I have only used it as a knife so far. Not needed the wire stripper or cord cutting/gutter. It works very well. And it looks pretty to boot. There is minimal unwanted movement in the blade assembly. It feels nice in the hand. What more can be said?

I've been using the Milwaukee Folding Utility Blade for a few months now, and it has become an essential part of my toolkit. The standout feature is the ergonomic and robust design, which provides a comfortable grip and a secure feel in the hand, making it easy to work with for extended periods. The folding mechanism is smooth and locks into place securely, giving me confidence when using it for tougher tasks. One of the things I appreciate most is how easily the blade can be changed. The tool-free blade change feature is quick and straightforward, allowing me to swap out blades without interrupting my work. The quality of the blades themselves is excellent, staying sharp for a long time and cutting through various materials like cardboard, rope, and plastic with ease. The built-in wire stripper is a thoughtful addition that has come in handy more times than I expected. I also like the belt clip, which makes it convenient to carry around and keep within easy reach. Despite being compact, the utility knife feels sturdy and well-built, characteristic of Milwaukee's reputation for durable tools. Overall, the Milwaukee Folding Utility Blade is a high-quality, versatile tool that excels in both design and function. It’s perfect for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, well-made utility knife.

Good solid knife.
