Automatic Utility Knife, Safety Auto Box Cutter Retractable, EDC Push Button Exacto Scalpel Knife, 10PCS #23 Razor Blades Pocket Knives with Clip

This is my second time buying this excellent little knife. While it is an OTF, it falls into the exception to the switchblade rule in my state and is fairly cool for that reason alone. However, with it being as sharp as it is, I am very pleased with the number of things I can do with it. I will note that a scalpel, while not super long, is a fairly scary item in a self-defense situation. I use my first one as a "money clip", and the second will be living in my keychain.I have had the first version for over a month and have easily opened it over 100 times and it is as fast and easy to open as the first time.If you are looking for a useful utility cutting tool, this is a great option for the money that won't open in your pocket, and you don't have to fiddle with the razor portion when closing it.Please note, I purchased both knives myself and was not compensated for the review.

Great California legal OTF (Out The Front) knife. Incompatible with #60 blades, thicker Havalon or thinner Gerber version (#60 would not be Cali legal). Photos with #20 and #25 blades (#25's vary somewhat are #25A by some manufacturers, have to look at photo of what you're getting). Comes with #23 in sellers photo.Had to use side wire cutters to trim corner on #25 to fit base of fitment, corner below 25 stamp, two side. Wouldn't lay flat otherwise.Also good for knife trainer for young kids, can have no blade on it. Then move up to a blade when more skilled. They make dull scalpel blades for #3 handles, NOT compatible with this. You could grind off edge on #20 to make similar dull training blade too for an intermediate knife handling.Idea for improved version! Other manufacturers put blade handle #3 on on side and handle #4 on other side of fitment, so you can use wider range of blades.Update: Size #36 blades allegedly fit, but stick out when closed and are not Cali legal. Almost the size of a #60 blade but thinner.

It works very well and feels robust. I hope it lasts because it’s very cool. #23 scalpel blades are easy to replace. Be extra careful because the blade is extremely sharp.

I just received this automatic handle this morning so my experience with it is limited. The scalpel handle appears to be nicely made and designed. The extension/retraction mechanism is similar to what I have seen on some automatic/assisted knives and works very nicely here. This handle hides the blade in the handle when the blade is retracted, a safety feature that is what interested me in this product.The handle comes with #23 blades. Similar Amazon products come with #24 blades. Some advertisements correctly indicate that the handle works with #20/21/22/23/24 size blades. These are relatively large scalpel blade with proportionately larger slots that fit onto a handle. This product is correctly advertised and what I found when it was delivered.My problem is that I typically use the smaller size scalpel blades # 11, 12, 10 and 15 with their proportionately smaller slots. The #11 blade is useful for smaller areas. These smaller scalpel blades do not fit on this handle.I searched Amazon for a similar automatic handle for the smaller scalpel blades # 11, 12, 10 and 15. It may exist but I did not find a similar product in my search. What I did find is a folding handle that fits the smaller blades. This folding version provides the safety feature of hiding/protecting the blade in the handle that I find attractive. This folding version is my next purchase.I wish this automatic handle was available for the smaller scalpel blades # 11, 12, 10 and 15.

Light and easy to use, when you need a very sharp blade using one hand this is the one you want. Operation is flawless and fast..

The pocket clip screws are completely stripped. un able to tight on. Pocket clip arrived lose and was not able to fix it. don't want to go thru the hassle of returning the item since Amazon can flag you now.

delivered the next day. fit and finish see top notch. I like that i can swap blades to always have one saving sharp. make for a nice utility tool. action is smooth ( i did need to add a drop of oil to get the blade to slide on so I oiled the rest as well. I use remoil for my otf knives

For $30 it's a complete steal. In terms of build quality and general feel it beats my Benchmade that cost me 10x as much. Very solid actuation and function. Sometimes one of the main screws holding the blade can come loose and it jams but some threadlock fixes it pretty easy
