Rated 1 out of 5 by from Blade change design defect. Best Utility Knife I had ever used until I had to change the blade. I got the old blade out and the new blade in by using the instructions posted on the Review page. Unfortunately, the top Slide then jammed and I can not extract the new blade rendering the knife useless.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Straight Up Rubbish Wicked good u-knife UNLESS you will ever need to change the blade. Useless. Throwing it away and getting something from "Stanley" or "Husky" from HD.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from very bad design This is a terrible design for the retractable folding knife. I'm throwing it in the garbage can and NEVER buying anything DeWalt. Can not fit blade in and it is dangerous to keep trying to get it to fit. Not worth it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from How to install blade The knife has a reservoir of blades. You get at it by pressing the black spot at the bottom right, below the yellow handle (see picture with blade at left and handle at right, blade facing down), which releases a lid on the top right. Pry up the lid with your fingernails while it is released. The knife looks and is described like the blades will automatically feed from the reservoir into the blade holder, but that's not the case. The way you actually do it is remove a blade, then close up the reservoir, then turn your attention to the blade holder. There's a sliding button on the top left, and a black button on the side at the far left. Push the sliding button to the far left, then push down the black button, then insert the blade (sharp side down) into the blade holder from the left as far as it will go (so, including the blade, it looks about like in the picture). While holding down the black button, pull back the top slider. This will retract the blade and you'll hear a click. Now the blade is installed and you can release the black side button. To get a new blade, press the black side button, pull the old blade out with your fingers, insert a new blade.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Bad design What a piece of garbage. Made a huge mistake buying this product. Couldn't understand how to load the blade wasted 45 minutes to figure out and still Couldn't get it to work.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Can't load the blade I loved the look and concept of this, unfortunately there is no instructions to tell how to load this. It is pretty much worthless.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from How do you load a fresh blade??? I can use the slide for extending and retracting the blade. I can open the storage compartment to get a fresh blade. Now if I could only load a fresh blade into the %#*@! thing. Does anybody know how to actually LOAD a fresh blade into cutting position?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this knife This is the best utility knife I have owned. Working in the construction field I have used every type of utility knife out there. This by far is the best. It is durable/ well made and pretty compact for a utility knife. The rubber on the handle makes it more comfortable to use especially when more force is needed to get through tougher material. It is a all around great knife.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst implementation of a great idea It is a great idea but poorly designed. There are absolutely no instructions on the Dewalt web page or on the product package on how to replace the blades. Sure I can open up the handle and pull out a spare blade But, I cannot open the end to insert the blade. Perhaps I do not need to open the end, but when a company is to cheap to provide instructions…

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Super Frustrated I can load the blade but cannot retract it with the slider. It jams about halfway and my thumb is sore and red from trying. I followed the instructions carefully but still unable to get this to function. I guess I will have to load and unload the blade in order to use/store it safely. I do like the waterproof blade storage however with having to remove the blade after each use that means increased risk handling the blades so much more. Absolutely great knife….if it would retract. Dang it!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Awful Product I bought this excited about the ergonomic design as well as the "easy change" blade function. Unfortunately it is awful. The latch which allows you to access the extra blade storage is so difficult to function that I have to use a screwdriver or pair of pliers. Worst of all, the lever for loading blades is so difficult to operate I am unable to load a blade. Great idea poorly executed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Decent knife I have used these knives for many years, and I don't know if DeWalt has changed where they are made or the specs on these knives, but they are nowhere near the quality they used to be. We used to get at least a year out of a knife per man on my crew of 11 guys, and with whatever they changed I'm lucky to get a couple months. These used to be a great knife, but not so much anymore.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from It sucks The first blade I used got stuck inside the handle and I can't get it out.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Professional Engineer's Review Probably the most poorly designed and operating razor knife I've ever owned. I could live with the design concept if the thing worked smoothly. Holding down the button to open the blade compartment is nearly impossible and I'm surprised I didn't cut my finger off changing out the blade. For what this product costs, one of those cheap knife's which requires you to unscrew the body to change the blade is a much better choice.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Packaging frustration I completely agree with some other reviews that removing the packaging is difficult. I tore it off where indicated, but the tab on the packaging gets jammed in the slot of the retracting mechanism. Took a lot of cursing to get it out and a pair of needle-nosed pliers. Now, I'm still trying to find out proper blade loading. Am I pressing the button hard enough? How do I know if it's in the right position? No, definitely not rapid load.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Horrible Product Design Mechanism to change out blade does not work and difficult if impossible to figure out. Will not -purchase again and don’t recommend.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Works good but keep breaking the same part I like the angle on the knife and that changing blades us easy and the fact that the blades stay in once changed. Other knives don't hold the blade well enough. I install siding and trim for a living and I used thus knife probably around 100 times a day. After a few months of opening and closing the knife so much the button that pushes the blade out breaks off. Undersyandable I guess but it would be nice if I could just purchase that part instead of a whole new knife. And to everyone complain that its hard to remove from the packaging: you do not have to take the knife apart. It takes 2 seconds to remove the insert. Simply rip the insert where it goes into the knife on the top by the button, slide the button forward, push the blade release and pull the insert out. Simple and easy.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poor quality mechanics I am on my third one of these. First one I bought about a year ago(still works great). Second one I purchased and immediately gave to a coworker, because the slide operated hard and jerky. Just purchased my third one 2 days ago thinking #2 was a fluke, turns out the 3rd is as bad if not worse to open and close blade. I am very disappointed as I like the way this knife fits the hand. Unfortunately, I won’t be dumb enough to purchase another one.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Does not work, new As all other reviews state, this tool does not work. Since all reviews are the same, maybe this is just for decoration? Impossible to load or do anything with this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfortable and extremely secure [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It seems like this utility knife is extremely well made. I've taken it on a few jobs and find myself picking this one over the others. Overall it fits my had perfectly, I like the fact that I feel I have more control and stability while cutting. This came in handy for a small vinyl floor install i used it multiple time cutting vinyl and didn't need a blade change. If this product reflects the quality and durability of your other products you guys are due to have continued customer satisfaction.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Utility Knife [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Utility Knife. I like the weight and feel of this knife. It appears to be well-designed and made. I would recommend this to a friend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super dependable!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very heavy dependable knife, with great features. Love the extra blade storage conveniently located in the handle. Changing blades is a breeze. Weight of knife is a little more than I have been use to carrying in the side leg pocket on carpenter jeans. Out side of weight super knife I would highly recommend and should last for years to come using it on a daily basis.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great feel! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a few week’s ago, and I have been very pleased with it so far. It has a nice weight, and feels good in my hand. Easy to use and the blade change is a snap!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect grip! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this knife in a different areas such a paint, carpentry and drywall. Overall in drywall job works just amazing the grip gives you and extra comfort and super firm. I wish it has a hook at the end back of the knife so you can hook it up in your jeans. The extra storage for the blades it’s super useful at a work time, would love to see an automatic loader like other de Walt knifes styles.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feels Really Good in the Hand! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ergonomics are outstanding on this model. Feels really good for all hand sizes. Even my fiancé likes how it feels! Only complaint is the latch where the extra razors are stored. It seems to be a little to easy to open.
