Outdoor Edge SlideWinder - Utility Knife Multitool with Standard Replaceable Razor Blade, Screwdrivers, Prybar, Bottle Opener and Pocket Clip with Locking Auto-Retracting Blade

Grip: 3.5/5For the most part the Slidewinder fits in your had decently. However, due to the location of some of the points it is easy to feel it dig into your palm a little bit. In addition the usage of the slide mechanism forces you to place your thumb on the spine after opening the blade. This is not terribly uncomfortable it is just not always what I desire. Also the pocket clip does tend to dig a little bit if you angle it in your hand wrong.Carrying ability: 5/5The Slidewinder is a very small tool so it does not take up a significant amount of space or add weight. In addition, it also features a nice pocket clip which has allowed to to easily store in my coin pocket. If that does not work for you then there is always a small lanyard hole that can be utilized.One handed opening and closing: 5/5As the name implies this tool uses a slide mechanism in order to facilitate opening and closing.Blade changing ease: 5/5In order to change the blade on the Slidewinder you simply hold the locking button down and pull out the blade. Then you insert a new one.Blade Security: 4.5/5There is a slight wiggle that comes from shaking the Slidewinder but this is actually the slide mechanism rather than the blade.Lock Security: 4/5My only issue with the lock is that it is pretty easy to accidentally press the lock button during usage if you have your thumb anywhere but the top ridge. This is where your thumb is technically supposed to go, but occasionally I like to have mine on the side so I have run into this problem a few times.Affordability: 5/5At approximately ten dollars I find that this tool is a very appropriately priced item. It gives you a really solid tool that is easy to EDC for a very nice price.Highlights:The Outdoor Edge Slidewinder features not only a well designed utility blade holder but also a phillips and flat head driver as well as an integrated bottle opener. The slide mechanism is not perfect but it is effective and fun to use.Overall: 4.5/5

One of the best razor knife I've ever owned and I've got about 50!It's so light weight and comfortable that I can wear it when I have athletic shorts, go for a run, and I barely even notice. It's designed perfectly. It was designed to be very lightweight, though. So keep in mind the blade can be a little tricky to change, but by no means hard. Well worth it it's worth it for the price, size, grip, utility, etc. I use a bigger one for more dirty work, but unless I'm flying or in work meetings this thing is on my pants. It fits so comfortably on anything from athletic shorts to a utility belt I bought myself a spare lol. For the price you really can't go wrong.

********** OUTDOOR EDGE SLIDEWINDER: THE MACGYVER OF KEYCHAINS **********>> THE MISSING KNIFE CHRONICLESAfter my trusty ITOKEY keychain knife pulled a Houdini act (probably living its best life in the same dimension as missing socks), I needed a worthy successor. Enter the Outdoor Edge SlideWinder - a bright orange beacon of utility that promised to fill the ITOKEY-shaped hole in my heart while keeping my keychain appropriately weaponized. At just $10, it costs less than two fancy coffees, yet promised the everyday superhero trifecta: compact size, a full-sized utility blade, and screwdrivers for impromptu IKEA therapy sessions.>> ADVENTURES IN EVERYDAY BLADERYThree weeks of daily carry later, the SlideWinder has earned its spot in my personal metal menagerie. Its most brilliant feature? When airport security gives you that disapproving look they've been practicing in the mirror, you can simply pop out the blade and surrender just that component. Like offering a sacrificial pawn in a chess game, you've appeased the security gods while keeping your precious tool. This alone makes it superior to traditional pocket knives that must be abandoned whole, leaving you to mourn both the knife and your dwindling faith in humanity.The full-sized utility blade handles everything from Amazon's cardboard fortresses (seriously, are they expecting siege warfare?) to snipping rebellious clothing threads and stripping wires. When dullness inevitably strikes, blade replacement is a tool-free process - slightly less butter-smooth than some, but easier than explaining to your spouse why you need another gadget.>> THE NUTS & BOLTS MANIFESTOThe SlideWinder features:* Standard replaceable utility blade compatible with universally available replacements* Phillips and flathead screwdriver bits for emergency furniture surgery* Orange and black glass/nylon polymer construction (not your bargain bin plastic)* Spring-loaded locking mechanism that doesn't mess around* Keychain attachment point to prevent pocket escapes>> THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE POINTYAdvantages:* Sacrificial blade system means TSA gets a tiny souvenir instead of your whole tool* Standard utility blades ensure you're never stuck trying to cut Amazon tape with what feels like a butter knife* Bright orange "don't lose me" coloring (though it will still vanish if you look away for exactly 3.7 seconds)* $10 price tag that feels like legal theftLimitations:- Locking mechanism requires thumbs of steel - perhaps designed by someone with a grudge against opposable digits- Slightly noisier than all-metal alternatives (announces itself like a tiny percussion instrument)- Grip design seems to assume we all hold tools like they're pictured in the manual (we don't)>> WHO NEEDS THIS TINY ORANGE HERO?Perfect for:* Everyday carry enthusiasts who want utility without pants-sagging weight* Frequent travelers tired of funding airport security's personal knife collection* Anyone who appreciates the "always sharp" philosophy without sharpening stones>> SECRETS OF THE SLIDEWINDER MASTERS* Attach a small keychain ring to a spring O-ring for quick detaching/reattaching – perfect for when you need to loan it out or just show off your tactical preparedness* Keep a couple spare blades in your desk/car for instant rejuvenation* Remember: the bright orange isn't just for style – it's for finding the darn thing when you inevitably drop it>> THE FINAL SLICEAt $10, the Outdoor Edge SlideWinder solves two persistent pocket knife problems: the "loose in pocket" syndrome (it's secure on your keychain) and the "TSA took my expensive knife" tragedy (just surrender the blade). While my discontinued ITOKEY was slightly smaller and lighter with even more features, the SlideWinder is the closest modern alternative I've found.Like MacGyver himself, it's not fancy or pretentious, just reliably useful when life throws its regular curveballs. Despite minor quirks like the thumb-challenging lock, it earns its keychain real estate through pure practicality. For anyone who values being prepared without looking like you're preparing for the apocalypse, the SlideWinder hits the sweet spot of function, price, and convenience.

I've personally purchased roughly 10 of these knives over the last couple of the years and will continue to do so as needed. I've bought some for friends after commenting on mine, and have purchased several for myself as I use it literally every day and because I am somewhat "hard on it", I've broken a few, resulting in re-purchasing. It's important to note that these are well manufactured and did not break because of any design flaws, rather broke because of the person using it - Yah, hi, me! I work in construction and sometimes use the knife for things it is not intended for, but even with that said, it still worked! There are a couple different features on the knife to utilize as well; a flat head, a phillips head, and a seatbelt cutter. The blades can be changed out within a matter of seconds and as long as you apply a light coating of oil to the new blade and knife mechanisms, you should have no issues with longevity. It's small, lightweight, and compact! Buy it!
