Review: Exceeded Expectations... No Regrets... Update 2024....2026 - *** 1-2026*** Still love the thing. ***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: It is just a retractable knife but a solid one... - A very nice utility knife for whatever that is worth to you. It also folds up when not in use and has a clip for easy carry on your trousers or a belt. There is storage for 3 blades not including the blade in use. Mine actually came with two extras so I imagine yours will as well. My only issue, if you can even call it an issue, is the packaging. I am a fairly intelligent dude but it took me a second to figure out what I had to do to get the packaging off. I don't know if it is a poorly thought out idea or the instructions need to be improved but basically, it gives you arrows and not so clear directions. It has been awhile so I sadly can't recall how to make the directions clearer. What I can tell you, that some may not realize is---A) right where the belt clip attaches to the knife, underneath is where you will find the part you have to release if you want to fold the knife back up. B) Also, the big black portion on the handle lifts up to reveal storage space. You release it with a black 'knob' at the back of the product, also on the bottom. Just pull it back a little while pushing toward the top and you will see how it works. C) Installing a blade is done using a black button on the left front of the knife. You move the retractable toggle all the way forward, push down said button, then insert blade. It will go in more than half way, release the button, and the toggle will retract the blade. Much of this may be intuitive to others but I was thoroughly confused the day I received this knife so maybe what I shared here will help you. Overall, a solid product from Dewalt. Granted it is just a utility knife but the others I have do not fold and I specifically remember one that needs to be taken apart for a blade change while this one takes seconds.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: After reading the reviews that mention blades this is probably a dumb question.  Does it take heavy duty blades?**
A: Probably

**Q: Is anyone having a retraction issue with these knives? I’ve inserted the blade securely, but it won’t fully retract.**
A: Many of these knives being manufactured are defective. To retract the knife there is a metal sleeve that needs to be pulled back to then retract the knife. On one knife I received the metal sleeve was not manufactured properly, which allowed the knife to be unfolded, but could not be retracted. I indicated that the knives were damaged and they sent another package of 2. In the second shipment, another knife was damaged. I finally got 2 functioning knives out of 4. They have a serious quality assurance manufacturing issue with these knives. However, if Dewalt reaches out, I can fix issues in their manufacturing processes, which will save them far more than my $500k consulting fee.

**Q: Does these have a metal body?**
A: The yellow is metal. the black is a rubber coating on plastic. It flips up and has storage for extra razor blades.

**Q: Does it store blades ?**
A: yes it stores blades, but the design for blade storage is not good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great box cutter
*by C***Y on March 12, 2026*

I love this knife. Many box cutters and knives are too brittle and the blades eventually break. In this one the blades are protected and all works well.
