Review: Exceeded Expectations... No Regrets... Update 2024.... - ***11-2024 Over a year later, with daily use and still love this thing and have no regrets on this purchase.*** It was getting a little stiff, but a little WD 40 and a wipe down during the last blade change brought it back opening and extending the blade in all positions, like when it was new. In the review below, you will see me mentioning a co-workers knife... the knife I'm referring to above is that one. My other one is like new as well. Original review below... I started a new job in a distribution center and was unhappy with the knives that the company supplied. I had a Milwaukee Fastback, but as the blade opens fully with a flip of the wrist, I didn't think it was appropriate for this workplace. So, I began looking at other utility knives. This DeWalt was retractable like the company supplied knives as well as folding. The price was right and I gave it a shot. When it arrived, I was happy and disappointed. The knife looked great and felt great in my hand. But, there was no blade installed. So, I assumed that the knife had been shipped without blades. So, I ordered DeWalt blades in. In the meantime, I took the blade out of my Milwaukee and installed it in the Dewalt. For some reason, installing a blade the first time was difficult for me. After reading some reviews, it seems others have had the same problem. Once you get past installing the first blade, all is good and gets better. The knife works smoothly and has been comfortable to carry in the front pocket of my Levi's while clipped to the outside of the pocket. So comfortable in fact, that when I first bought the knife, many times I thought I lost it as I didn't realize it was clipped in my pocket. I still regularly bring it home with me because I don't realize it's clipped in my pocket when I put my things in my work locker at night. The best feature of this knife, for how I currently use it in the warehouse I work in, is the first blade setting. It gives you just the tip of the blade to cut tape on sealed boxes. The mechanism to release and close the knife took me a little while to figure out an easy way to close the it. I started out using two hands, then one hand with my leg, but now can easily open and close the knife with one hand. You will find it opens and closes a easier as you use it, but does not get loose. I also did a blade change and had no issues, unlike the first time I tried to install a blade. Now... DON'T BE A BONEHEAD LIKE I WAS.... As I mentioned earlier in the review: I mistakenly thought the knife did not come with blades. I didn't see any blades in the packaging and there wasn't one installed. As my Milwaukee Fastback does not have storage for extra blades, I assumed the DeWalt was the same. When the new blades arrived, that was when I discovered that the knife had actually come with three blades that were stored in the knife body. I did not realize that the black rubber on the top of the body flipped open to access the spare blades. There were no clear instructions on the original packing and I actually watched a Youtube video on how to swap a blade when I was having difficulty installing the first blade, to learn this. I am embarrassed by my stupidity about the blades. But, hopefully my mistake helps others if they make this purchase. I have no regrets at all with this purchase and have recommended it to a co-worker. Unfortunately, my co-worker did not have a positive experience when they ordered this knife in. Their shipment was delayed for several weeks and when the knife finally arrived, it was "loose". The blade holder had side to side play in the handle when locked open. I thought it might be that the handle screws were loose and tried to tighten them for my co-worker with a torx screwdriver. That didn't solve the problem and my co-worker was so frustrated with the delay that they didn't want to bother with doing a return. Since I had referred my co-worker to this knife, I offered him my Milwaukee Fast Back. He tried the Milwaukee, loved it and gave me the DeWalt to use as parts for my knife. I completely disassembled my co-workers Dewalt and couldn't find the problem at first. After taking it apart and putting it together a few times, I saw that the coupling at the blade pivot was too long and wouldn't allow the handle to come together securely against the blade holder when the screw was tightened into the coupling. A few strokes with a file shortened the coupling a few thousandths of an inch and allowed the handle to be tightened properly with the screw. Now, my co-workers former knife has no side play and is as solid as the one I bought. It has also become my knife at work, while the one I bought is for use at home. While I'm happy with both of my knives... No one should have to do what I did to make my co-workers brand new product, fresh out of the packaging, work properly. In the end, if you purchase one of these, and it's "sloppy" when you open it if you are mechanically inclined, disassembly and a few file strokes on the coupling should fix it. Otherwise, exchange it for another one. I have absolutely no regrets on this purchase.
Review: Well built and works well - Got replace one I lost. Still a solid knife. Works great, the one I lost was pretty old. Same storage for extra blades in the handle. Folds if half to be compact for carrying. Feels good in your hand, and rubber stop on top can make it easier to guide and gave an extra push when needed. Dewalt keeps make this product well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a belt clip on the backside?**
A: Yes,there is belt clip on the back of this product.

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: I would assume in America. DeWalt is a very reliable brand of tool. I made a review of this product years ago and I still use this knife all the time and it's in great condition.

**Q: Does the blade lock in the extended position?**
A: It does lock. But if you apply much pressure to the blade it retracts back into the closed position

**Q: will it fold with the blade fully extended?**
A: No.. If I recall correctly, you need to retract before folding. Also, be sure to keep blade from oxidation, as that darn thing will get stuck. If in heavy use and replacing blade regularly, this is not a concern however.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well built and works well
*by G***E on September 11, 2025*

Got replace one I lost. Still a solid knife. Works great, the one I lost was pretty old. Same storage for extra blades in the handle. Folds if half to be compact for carrying. Feels good in your hand, and rubber stop on top can make it easier to guide and gave an extra push when needed. Dewalt keeps make this product well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars (update: still five stars)
*by J***Y on September 13, 2017*

Easy to open deliberately, difficult to open accidentally. Very safe. Storage in the handle for extra blades. Very satisfied. UPDATE APRIL 2018: Y'know what, seven months later, I don't think I said enough nice things about this knife, so here's some more. I bought this to replace an otherwise perfectly serviceable utility knife that was a bit... eager, if you know what I mean, especially when I was going up ladders. I wanted something that wasn't gonna surprise my thigh with a friendly slash, so I went for one that required two very deliberate actions to open. Well, it opens, it extends, it cuts, it retracts, and it closes, and nothing's lost tension or started to get squiffy yet, so job's a good 'un. My finger rests nicely parallel with the blade on a wee surface with grippy knobs, without the retraction lever getting in the way, which means cutting with this thing is as easy as sliding my index finger down the thing I want to cut. When folded up, it's small enough to fit in a pointlessly-tiny compartment of my overstuffed toolbox. It's solid, heavy enough to not feel cheap, light enough that I don't begrudge its weight when picking up my toolbox. It's bright yellow, so it's hard to lose. I haven't even managed to chip the paint, and I'm not gentle. To replace the blade, press the black button at the end of the knife and pull on a part of the blade that isn't sharp. I'm racking my brains trying to think of an improvement that could be made to this thing, and I really can't. Nice work, Dewalt. (aha - last-second before I hit the submit button - swap the colours. Have the silver part yellow, and the yellow part silver - that makes the knife more visible when it's open. People who buy two-action utility knives like this are thinking of safety, and a bright yellow thing in the corner of their eye will remind them to close the blade.)
