    Tried and tested, great investment.
    Great ergonomics, fits nicely in pocket and spare blades in handle is perfect, give it a wee spray of wd 40 and the slider is perfect.

    Awesome knife
    The only reason I give the easy to use a 3 star is because it locks closed half way out when you unfold it, you have to press to unlock and open it and when you are whacking up plaster board it can be a pain, although I keep it unfolded in my tool belt I still think that’s a silly thing to have on it. I have a lot of utility knives and this is by far one of the best, better than the OX knife that’s more money!

    Best Stanley knife eve
    Bought this for my nephew as he so will be buying a new home & will be very useful to him. Brilliant knife, good shape to hold when cutting & folds up so you can put in your pocket… Very useful. I’m even going to purchase one for myself & other members of my family.

    Good blade and assembly - nightmare to remove packaging!
    Great blade once you extract it from the packaging. Whatever possessed Stanley to adopt the plasticised packaging material and thread this THROUGH the blade assembly is completely beyond me – I needed tools & a bit of savvy to get the knife away from the packaging – a bit of a nightmare and not for the faint hearted.
    Still, once extracted – a great, sturdy, safe and very useable knife.

    Good product let down by stupid packaging and lack of instructions.
    As others have said, getting this thing out of the ‘packaging’ is the worst experience ever!!!
    I used scissors, tweezers and my teeth to get everything out!! All that because there are no instructions!! I nearly sent it back for a refund due to fact that a small piece of the packaging got stuck inside the knife. Whoever designed the packaging should be slapped.
    Apart from that, it’s an ok product for the price and should last a long time.

    Difficult at first, but very sturdy knife
    I found putting my first blade in very difficult as the so called ‘instructions ‘ on the pack were most unhelpful, consisting of 3 small photos. It took a lot of swearing, some Internet searching and a set of mole grips to finally get the blade in place properly. I was also pretty annoyed when the knife was just pushed through my letterbox by the UPS driver, despite it saying that it would need a signature. In these days of knife crime I would expect a big carrier like UPS to make certain that blades items were safely distributed. I didn’t sign for the parcel, but had a message on my phone to say it had been signed for.

    Perfect folding knife desig
    There’s normally a downside to folding knives the grip doesn’t feel right or mechanism isn’t great.

    But this is a perfectly made knife!

    Folds simply, quick release blade change, integral blade storage, belt clip, bright colour, compact when folded.

    There’s no negative points, great knife!

    Can’t fault this knife really. It folds up with a clip so can put in your work trousers easily, has a small storage compartment for extra blades (you can only get about 3 in there), and you can collapse it with one hand, and easy no tool blade change.

    Oh, and it’s packaged quite well as other reviewers have said, but if you are a competent grown up it only takes a minute to remove . . .

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersVery good knife 4.5 stars
    Great knife, comes with 3 blades, feels good in the hand and flips back neatly to fit in your pocket. No chance of you snipping fingers when closing it up, all-around solid knife that should last a long time. Good workmanship. Strangely you have to use a knife (or scissors) to get it out of the packaging. Best way to do this is to snip the top off and hold onto the picture of where the blade is and pull down. Very happy with the purchase.

    Feels robust, quick and easy to change the blade, stores 3 blades in the handle. It’s the quality I would expect from Stanley.
    Getting it out of the packaging requires a bit of brute force, nice that it’s secure, not so nice that I’m worried about damaging it as I remove it, so can understand negative comments about packaging.
    Took me a few minutes to figure out what does what, Stanley, if you’re going to attach it to a big piece of card, then please use that card to provide useful information.

    Using it on a daily basis at work and for some house works from time to time. The knife is comfortable to use and feels solid. The blades are sharp and hold well in the knife. Once folded the knife is small and easy to keep in the pocket or a small compartment in the tool box. It’s not the cheapest knife out there but it’s worth the money.

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersBrilliant design.
    I have had this knife now for just short of a year and I have to say the design of this knife is brilliant. Being able to fold the knife to fit in pocket is excellent. It also has a belt-clip so you could attach it to your belt or to the pocket. Replacement blades are kept safely in the handle, which is easily opened up without the use of any tools. When open the knife locks in the open position so it won’t accidently close up on you during use. It has a grove near where the blade comes out that can be used to cut string without having to push the blade out, just simply feed the string into the groove and pull and it’s cut. It has a nice comfortable grip, and replacing a blade is probably the easiest thing ever. Just hold the little red button in on the side near where the blade comes out and pull the old blade out and slip the new one in, then release the red button and the new blade is locked in. No tools are required, so no need to hunt for a screwdriver to open it up in order to change the blade. The only downside to this knife is that the instructions could have been clearer, and you have to figure most of it out for yourself, but that is fairly easy and once you do you’ll think to yourself it is so obvious that instructions aren’t necessary.

    Great tool with infuriating packaging
    I have two of these knives and they are very good quality tools. The only issue with them is how they are packaged. There is a plastic faux blade that runs through the inside of the tool that is a nightmare to remove. It seems no matter how I’ve tried to seperate the knife and the packaging, a piece of flimsy plastic gets stuck inside the internal mechanism that is a real P.I.T.A. to get out.

  33. Isabella says:

     United Kingdom

    Good when you eventually get it working
    They are right about no instructions! It does take a bit of time to get the plastic out from inside the knife and then a bit more time to get the blade securely fitted in, and then a bit more time again to understand how to close the thing up. After a lot of “set up time”, it does what it is supposed to do, and having the knife close up completely is much more secure.

    One of my best knives.
    I have had several Stanley knives down the years, and this folding model is one of my favourites. The bright yellow finish that Stanley use on the Fatmax range is ideal for my absent-mindedness, as the products are usually easy to locate against a garden/patio/workshop/floorboard background. The handle section folds open to reveal a space for spare blades and for temporarily keeping your used or broken blade safe until you are ready to carefully dispose of it. The folding design is ideal for carrying in a pocket, and it has a clip for putting on a belt. For more delicate cutting, the little rubber pad on top just behind the blade makes it easy to maintain good control with your thumb pressed to it. Looking at the picture, you might not think that you can get a good, comfortable grip on this knife, but I find it is exactly right for my slightly large hand.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersGood product.. If you can get to i
    Overall a good product. However i do think the packaging is ridiculously hard to remove and even after, a small bit of the packaging was left inside, jamming the blade (luckily i got it out but others might not be so lucky). Also i think there could be an added safety feature so that the knife cannot fold back down with the blade pushed froward, as although there is a liner lock, it was handed back to me, folded, but with the blade still out.

I use it every single day at work, so much so I can pull it off my belt flip it open in one hand, not one has broken! Great for concealing in public areas too my favourite crime knife.

    The supplied instructions are really not very clear as to how to fit your first blade – I ended up disassembling the whole knife in order to work out that the red button allows blade insertion and release because the tiny abstract pictures on the packaging really don’t make it immediately obvious.

    Now that i’ve got that sorted though, it’s an excellent knife.

    Not Perfect But Worth Buying
    After reading some reviews, I decided I liked the balance of features and bought this. I am very happy with this purchase. I can understand why some people have been annoyed by the packaging, but it wasn’t such a tough nut to crack and shouldn’t be marked down for that (if you get stumped by the packaging maybe it would be best to leave the DIY to someone else? 😉
    What I did mark it down for was the belt clip on the side of the handle which has a sharpish end and is not comfortable to hold for any length of time, so I just removed it all together (you’ll need a star head screwdriver set). Apart from that the design and build is decent for the price here and should last a good few years.

    Solid and safe to use - don't buy one of the cheap imitations which will only disappoint you
    I’ve tried cheap “Stanley” knives before (i.e. not real Stanley, but Draper or whoever) like I suppose you have. And they’ve always been rubbish.
    This one is a bit dearer, but a solid high-class tool that’s safe and easy to use and store and one I’ve been very glad I bought.
    Once you get used to the odd folding method, it’s easy to use and feels secure in the hand, unlike the cheapo ones where you’re forever expecting them to take your finger off.
    Replacement blades are cheap enough and double-ended. Don’t make the mistake of buying a decent knife, then trying to economise on blades – get the proper ones.
    You can store a few blades inside the handle, and changing blades is a ten second job and much safer than with in an inferior knife. It feels solid and under control when you cut with it, the blade retracts completely before folding, so you can safely leave it lying about without fear of anybody getting cut accidentally.

    I really like the folding feature of this knife as it fits in your pocket a lot easier than a traditional Stanley knife and its also an additional safety feature as the blade is folded inside the handle, the spare blades are also stored inside the handle.

    It is well constructed as you would expect with a “Stanley” Stanley Knife.

    Some other reviewers have mentioned that the blades are awkward to change, i haven’t had any trouble changing them so far (i found the instructions on the packaging self-explanatory), just watch your fingers when handling the blades.

    I would recommend this product.

    I had no issues with delivery.

    Pain to change the blade but sturdy knife
    Brought for BF even though I knew from previous reviews that it was difficult to change the blade… Used a previous review comment to figure it out… at one point he got the blade stuck inside but eventually got it out.
    Once that was figured out… perfect knife so i would still recommend

    Stanley knife
    I read a variety of reviews concerning this item and many said it was difficult to fit the blade in. I did not find this to be the case and would not hesitate in ordering another one if it was necessary.

    Really good!
    Very happy with my new Stanley knife.

    Thanks to previous reviews, I managed to fit my blade with relative ease. Its perhaps not as simple as it could be, but once its in, it certainly is in!

    The folding facility is very handy and it feels very sturdy in use. It cuts quite well too!

    A good choice to buy
    I like the idea that it can be folded away so it can fit easy in to your pocket. Once folded it’s safe and you can’t accidently cut yourself.

    What you need to know!
    This utility knife is fantasic and far superior to the bog standard version. Regrettably there are absolutely no instructions with the knife. I had to go on to youtube before discovering that the three blades included were to be found under the handle. The youtube video is helpful and this is the link: […]

    This knife is amazing
    This knife feels incredible in hand, looks great, and the supplied blades slice through anything as required. The packaging was a huge issue in the comments, from which i can only assume people are attempting to open the product with a banana

    Fantastic DIY knife
    I bought this knife as I’ve had a tried-and-tested solid Stanley knife for ages, but really wanted one which I could put in my pocket whilst working, and generally leave about the place a bit without worrying about stabbing myself. Second priority was quick change of blade without having to find a screwdriver, and my third was feeling solid in use – I was once bought a “folding” knife as a pressie but any reverse pressure and it flopped in and tried to take your little finger off. That went in the bin.

    Result? Yes, yes, and yes! When you fold the knife open, there’s a strong and well engineered spring lever which toggle locks it open. You cannot fold the knife shut without intentionally operating the release spring which is nicely out of the way, but not too difficult to get to. You have to retract the blade to properly close the knife, and opening is easy – I quite happily put this in my pocket when working, and would reach for it one handed while up a ladder if required.

    The extend/retract is well done – you can really lean on the blade, and poke things if required, without the blade flopping out of the way. And the blade swap is a 2 second job, just by pressing the red button you can pull out and fit a new blade. Also there’s capacity to hold about 3 blades inside the body of the knife.

    For being a folding/retractable/heavily featured knife, this feels really solid and is a joy to use. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

    I use Stanley knifes alot and this is my favorite so far, its also very safe because you can easily retract the blade back in and then when you have finished with it the whole thing neatly fold in half and closes onto its self, great ! the other thing I like is the handle doubles up as a spare blade storage compartment.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersA great tool for everyday use
    I’ve had this for a few months and have used it a lot. For a lot of things. I must admit that having a stanley knife is almost addictive and becomes almost second nature after a while.

    I’ve seen quite a few different styles of stanley knives and this is probably in the middle of the pack. It’s not meant for heavy-duty use, like carpet-laying, since being fold-able is less sturdy by design and thus will break sooner in those circumstances.

    It has a few things that make it more inclined for general use however and for that purpose, it’s quite good. It has a nice grip and the rubber patch on the front means you can use it to apply quite a bit of pressure should you want to. It has a magazine for storing extra blades but you can’t carry more than three, which should be enough to last anyone other than a carpet layer throughout the day. It has a nice clip that you can use to snag it to a pocket and have it ready for immediate use.

    One drawback is that it’s not that easy to clean, mine still doesn’t need it, badly, but when it will, I dread having to take it apart. Also, on some occasions the blade slider tends to get stuck for no good reason. It’s probably some dirt because after a few attempts, it comes loose and works as intended.

    The wire cutting function is something I haven’t seen in other stanley knives but it’s also something I hardly ever used. It only works on very thing cables and wires and, as a consequence, is quite limited.

    All in all, I’m quite happy with it, it wasn’t cheap but it was worth it. Would definitely recommend it.

    One handed operatio
    Great item. I have now purchased three for different locations. The only drawback is the belt clip which kept catching so I have removed them. This makes the unfolding so easy I can do it one handed, if required, but closing it where you need to release the safety lock still, thankfully, really needs two.

    I like it I like it a lot!
    Good quality product that is expected from the Stanley Fatmax range my only critism being the lack of instructions regarding fitting the blade, managed it in the end but more through luck than anything hence the four stars.

    Good Knife
    Bought for work as im opening boxes all day and other objects, negative is the paint chips off if you drop it on the floor, not a biggie other then that it works great. The folding is why I bought it, blade change is easy once you get the hang of it, the packaging from Stanley is stupid though, really hard to get out and had to rip it.

    This is a very good knife, I like how it’s retractable and it folds. Takes a few days to get used to this if you are using the knife often throughout the day. Comes with about 5 Fatmax blades which are stored under the black flap in the handle. My only criticism is true of all knives like this with a quick release button – the blade does wobble a bit. But changing blades is very easy and fast.

    chunky knife
    Strong, handy folding knife with many uses. Seems very sturdy but the operation was a bit awkward. Unfolding and locating blades took a moment but OK once it had been worked out.

    Been after a good stanley knife for a while and after reading several reviews i decided to go for this one. Folds in half when not being used for easy storage, has a belt clip on the back and has the easiest blade change of any knife i have ever used. Simply slide out the blade as if you were cutting, push the small red button to release the blade then slot in the new blade job done. Very good product and quick delivery.
