5.0 out of 5 stars the knife rocks freaking wild, January 9, 2009

ok, i insulated my entire roof area a while back, and i went through about six utility knives, because first i was laying them down on roof joists when i needed to put them down after cutting the pink stuff. and then i couldn't find them because i probably insulated over it or kicked it somewhere. and i kept having to go get another one. so i started trying to stick the knife in my pants pocket. (i don't have a shirt pocket - i'm a girl thing.) so that wound up with the knife cutting holes in my belly, so i turned it around and poked holes in my leg. and i'm wondering, is this really necessary? (and i didn't have a jacket pocket either because it was 100+ degrees up there. only reason i was wearing clothes at all was because of the dirt.)

so way later, i don't know how i ran across this bessey folding knife on amazon, but i buy tools on amazon from time to time so probably they just popped it up. and i just said, yeah, it folds! can put in my pants pocket without stabbing me! woo hoo! and also i saw that the blades just pop out instead of having to unscrew something, and even though i didn't know i needed that function, once i saw it i knew it was a great thing because don't you sometimes work with a dull blade because it's just such a pain to change the blade?

actually, i had tried another folding utility knife sold by a place where i buy car stuff, but it was garbage and i threw it away. so i was very pleased when i got this one and it was like the tyrannosaurus rex of utility knives. it chunks and unchunks when you fold and unfold it, and it is solid and feels like it will never fall apart. also the function where you can instantly eject and reverse or change the blade is very handy. i will never work with a dull blade again. and it feels great in your hand.

i went to my dad's over christmas - he is a 72 year old ex marine vietnam veteran. we built him his first computer while i was there. we used this knife (which i carry in my purse) to cut open all of the boxes for the computer parts. then i was going to teach him how to order stuff on amazon, and i said "what do you want?" he said "get me that knife." also, he borrowed it from me and took it to his coffee with his military guys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice knife. Definately recommend, July 12, 2007

I really like this knife. I love these folding utility knives since you never have to worry about sharpening a blade. The blade gets dull, just change it. The quick change feature seems to really work. I feel like I have a very good quality knife that looks pretty good. I am quite pleased with it.

I bought my dad and husband the Bessey DBKPH Quick-Change Folding Utility Knife - PVC Handle with 5 Blade Storage Compartment which they absolutely love. The main difference between the two is that this one is much nicer looking and is a little heavier (1 1/8 oz). The one I got my dad and husband doesn't look quite as nice, but it does have a compartment that holds 5 extra blades. Because of that, it is quite a bit bulkier. If you are considering a folding utility knife, I would definitely recommend one of these two. Just figure out what you want, and decide which one fits your needs better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real knife quality in a utility knife!, August 31, 2007

I've been a big fan of these folding utility knives for as long as they've been around. This one is absolutely amazing. Truly "Buck knife" quality in a folding utility knife.

You can't even begin to see the quality in the picture - I was really surprised when I got it in the mail. Heavy aluminum frame with nice polished wood accent.

Everyone should have one of these!
