It's made very well, it stores plenty of blades within it, and it's super comfortable in my hand. I also really like the flip out blade, how it tucks in the handle. If I have to buy another one, I would be more than happy to buy this one again, but from the look and feel, it doesn't look like it will need replacing for quite some time. Review: Good Knife - Looks a feels cheap but it's pretty solid. It locks in three open positions as well as locking closed. Locks into each position easily and it's sold enough that I had to use both hands to move it without pushing the button. The back stays closed until you push the sides in so it shouldn't be opening unless you want it to. Each part is really well thought out and excuted. Nice job. ## Features - Bates folding utility knife features a quality steel handle and anti-slip plastic grip, providing extra security.

It's made very well, it stores plenty of blades within it, and it's super comfortable in my hand. I also really like the flip out blade, how it tucks in the handle. If I have to buy another one, I would be more than happy to buy this one again, but from the look and feel, it doesn't look like it will need replacing for quite some time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Knife *by R***N on April 1, 2024* Looks a feels cheap but it's pretty solid. It locks in three open positions as well as locking closed. Locks into each position easily and it's sold enough that I had to use both hands to move it without pushing the button. The back stays closed until you push the sides in so it shouldn't be opening unless you want it to. Each part is really well thought out and excuted. Nice job. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ not too shabby *by M***N on February 14, 2024* 2 things I am not happy with. blade is too tight to open and there are 3 different position the safety pin locks in. I took it apart and noticed that they painted over where the bearing goes so the tolerance are too tight. I removed the paint and scraped off access paint and now its very smooth. I might grind out the addition locking positions. its a fun little tool to modify your self to fit your need. easy to customize. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bates- Box Cutter, Utility Knife, Box Cutter Knife, Folding Box Cutter, Razor Knife, Box Cutter Folding, Box Cutter With 3 Extra Blades, Folding Knife, Box Cutter Retractable, Folding Utility Knife - Bates- Razor Blade Scraper, 2 Pack, Razor Scraper Set with 30 Extra Blades, Razor Scraper, Window Scraper, Scraper Tool, Glass Scraper, Scraper Blades, Blade Scraper, Razor Blade Retractable. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/415852117-bates-box-cutter-folding-utility-knife-with-3-extra-blades](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/415852117-bates-box-cutter-folding-utility-knife-with-3-extra-blades) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
