Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt Black Speed Release 3/4-in 11 -Blade Folding Utility Knife

Compact and lightweight

These knives are great for a box cutting application. Super lightweight and feel great in the hand. I will carry everyday but if you need to make some difficult cuts this is not your knife. The handle is small so it wont allow you to keep a good grip on the knife while trying to make cuts. One thing I don't like is the flat head screwdriver. when you put the knife clip in your pocket you have to push down and you push right on the flat head screwdriver part. Other than that great product.

Small, but very practical. I have enjoyed using it

This little knife is very practical, small that can fit in a small space. great for camping trips or for back up tool in a vehicle. You can always replace the blade when dull very sturdy

Versatile Set of 4 in 1 utility knives!

This two-pack of Kobalt 4 in 1 slider knives are a set of very versatile tools to have on hand in your workshop or your car or truck. They are small enough to fit in your pocket, but they also have a very handy belt clip (see picture). These also double as a hex wrench for ¼ inch or 5/16 inch nuts (see picture). The opposite end eve has a slotted screwdriver tip so this is really a multi-purpose tool in a small package! I liked the ability to change blades quickly with the release button loc...

Compact Utility Knife

This utility knife works well. They are smaller than a standard utility knife which has pros and cons. With the smaller size, the handle only covers about half of my palm. With the smaller size, it will be good for use for smaller jobs. For larger jobs the full size version maybe better and have less hand fatigue. I needed a utility knife to keep in my RV tool bag and this fits that need.

Quality

Very handy. This product is well made, as Kobalt products are. The blade is easily replaced, the button to replace the blade easily decompresses. I used this to remove caulk from a shower, the blade didn’t bend and held up nicely. I love the feature at the top where you can use it as a screwdriver.

A great pocket handy tool

My new carry knife and handy tool. Very well built and feels good in hand.. i really like it has a built in sloted head screwdriver. Very handy plus a 1/4" and 5/16" hex head driver. Super easy blade changes. Just push the black button down slide the blade out new one in and your like new again. Of couse the blade is double ended so you always have a shape edge with you...very nice item.

Kobalt 4 in 1 Slider Utility Knife

This set of two knives are a perfect gift to anyone, or a great set to own. I was surprised at the great quality and just how solid they are with. You can feel the weight in your hand. They fit nicely in your pocket or clip onto your belt. The slider blade locks in place and is easily removed by pressing in the button to the right of the blade. The blade then easily slides out. When you replace it with a new blade, you can feel it snap into place. There is a screwdriver on the end which fits snu...

Handy little knife

This is a great little knife. The finish seems really durable and it feels really comfortable in your hand. It retracts fairly easy with one hand and storing the blade back with a push of the lock button on the back is nice. I take in a lot of packages at work and this knife is very handy and it takes a standard razorblade so its easy to swap to a fresh blade when needed.

Great compact utility knife

I have used many different utility knives over the years. The older models did not fold to reduce space, were bulky, and blade changes required taking the knife apart. This kobalt utility knife has a good hand feel.. The design is slim and doesn't protrude when placed in or on your pocket. The quick blade release mechanism feels solid and inserting of new blades is easy. Something I would like to see added is a way to store at least one extra blade. Overall, I think this is a great utilit...

"UTILITY KNIFES FOR HER IN MIND"

This 2 piece utility knife set is excellant quality, they are not cheap plastic..i am sure they will last for years. I like the convenience of opening & closing with a touch. My favorite part is the protection cover for the blade!! I also appreciate the clip on the knife,, after closing just clip on the pocket of a tool bag. With it being small...i have one in my purse and glove box in my car for an emergency. The negative on these utility knifes, they are made for small hands. For an example if...

Questionable design, solid construction

I'll put the bad first to get it out of the way. I had concerns with this utility knife, two specific concerns. Both were confirmed. My first issue was that the added functions seemed more like a fluff than any added value features. I was right. Obviously the box cutter/utility knife function is fine. The hex tool feature is useless. In addition to being 5/16 and 1/4 (I know I'm in the USA, I don't need reminding. Who _doesn't_ use metric in the real world though, seriously?), their place...

Compact, Solid Uilitiy Knife

These are two compact Slider Utility Knifes. One blue and one silver. They have a neat, solid clip that allows them to be easily clipped onto a belt or strap. I like that simple addition. They are quite compact and they would be perfect for small hands. However, even with my upper medium hands, they are still very easy to use. All of my other utility knifes that I have owned have been much larger. I have gotten used to that, so initially I was surprised at the small size. Don't be alarm...

Great little pocket cutter

I found these to be very useful pocket cutters. They have a belt clip of you want to put them on your side but are also thin enough to put in your pocket. They open and close quickly but have enough of a detent to not accidently open in your pocket. The blades have a button so you can quick change them out flip them. It comes with two of them so you can have a spare. Overall I really like these due to the fact I don't like things in my pockets and I can barely feel this.

Compact multi purpose utility knife

This was a fan favorite when I opened this- we had family over and they are all do-it-yourselfers. They loved how compact it was and that it is a multi purpose tool that can be also used as a screw driver. They loved how it hooks onto your belt- most utility knives don’t.

Killer little multi tool blade.

These little blades are awesome! The size makes them perfect to work along with a measuring tape hanging from a pocket. They’re small enough to fit in the 5th pocket. Multi tools but the most essential is the blade. It has a safety to ensure the blade stays locked, however, I would always double check since if faces up when hanging.

Handy Palm Knife

This Kobalt folding two knife set is extremely compact. It is very thin even with the stainless-steel belt clip. This slim line makes the knife virtually unnoticeable in your pocket when compared to other bulky knives. The shape reminds me of a turtle and the size is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand when collapsed. It does have a slight curve when open for use and has a lock back mechanism for safety. I found this locking mechanism a little hard to depress, but not terrible. The but...

Well made light everyday tool

opening I was struck by the light weight of these tools.  Having had many razor knives in the past of which those that closed were heavy in my pockets.   More impressive was the simpleness of the way the working end closed up to where it was totally safe to handle and stow away. Yes, even in a pocket.  A simple push of a lever in the main body allows the working end to fold up nicely. This same lever motion is used to change blades without undoing anything .  Simply  Pushing a lever on the top o...

Safer

I used these to cut shingles on a roof , the best feature is they fit in your hand so much better and I feel safer using this compared to what I was using . These are lightweight so comfortable to carry. Since they fit you hand so much better I have more control,over the cuts and the blade changes are very easy just pushing the button to use opposite end, and there’s a clip for your belt to , better design

Compact, sturdy, well built ...

The pocket lockback utility knife by Kobalt is a compact easy to use utility knife with probably the best blade changing I’ve had the pleasure to use. The knife is compact, features what feels like a very durable lockback mechanism, and a smaller lockback like mechanism that allows for a quick, easy, blade release when it’s time to reverse or change the blade out. The body of the knife is made out of aluminum and features a stainless steel belt / boot / pocket clip, one that would work equally...

Ergonomic

I absolutely love the way that Kobalt redesigned this model of their razor knives. They are easy to handle and use. The quick change of the blade is simple to make swap out on the go. I have removed the belt clip on one of these to easily be carried in my pocket for day to day use when I don't foresee needing it. One in the pocket and one in the toolbox!
