Overview

Folding the blade into the handle makes this Amazon Basics utility knife safe to carry in a pocket or toolbox. The blade is stainless steel and the handle combines aluminum, plastic and stainless parts. A bright red color makes it easy to spot on a bench.

A folding body protects the edge in transit and stores flat. The aluminum handle adds stiffness without much bulk. The listing gives no blade length, lock type or replacement blade information, which matters for anyone who cuts a lot of cardboard or packaging.

Who it's for

A kitchen drawer, garage shelf or glove box suits a basic folding knife that closes safely. Heavy daily users should look for a model that lists its blade lock and replacement blade type.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Folds shut for safe carrying
  • Stainless steel blade
  • Aluminum handle body
  • Bright red color easy to find
Cons
  • Blade length not listed
  • Lock type not listed
  • Replacement blade system not described

Performance notes

A stainless blade resists rust, while the aluminum handle gives a stiff base for pressing through material. Where the blade locks open decides how safe heavy cuts feel, and the listing does not describe that mechanism. Edge sharpness and blade thickness are also not stated.
