I live in Asia, and I had been searching for a GOOD utility knife that I would actually carry, and feel safe with my wife using for her everyday use- and she uses it a lot. I finally splurged and bought a few CTC Mastercraft from CTC. She loves it and I am not allowed to touch "hers" ,which is okay as I do have the extras. 4 locking positions, easy blade changes, lanyard hole - perfect for her needs, and belt clip. And best of all it doesn't rust ,and it already has survived being dropped on the ceramic tile floor. And dirt cheap on sale - the price alone made it worth the shipping.

I have had one of these knifes for about a year, the knife is my favourite & I have found the blades to last very well.

I've had the one with the blade guard for half a year or so and it is my favorite. I love the feel of it and the blades do last a long time. I found it interesting that I kept grabbing for it when I needed a utility knife. Now, I just grab it. I also picked up the snap off blade version, but I don't like that nearly as much since the tightening wheel is so small and not as easy to tighten quickly as some of my others.

man u are like the bob ross of tools. would love to see some usage videos or maybe daily driver or most used or reached for tools or ultimate speed setups etc, i agree the dewalt gyro and many other things you have also deciphered but you are far more advanced and invested than I am you really cut down on research. very impressive channel.

I have one that I carry and use everyday at work. I’ve been very happy with it. I love the blades! And when they do eventually get dull, I’ve been able to touch them up with a product called “Speedy Sharp” that I also carry as part of my EDC. That Milwaukee knife with the extra blades and rope cutter looks pretty nice too. I like to carry a knife like this that I’m not afraid to beat the crap out of or cry too much if it gets lost. My Dad called them “farm knives”.

My personal favorites Terry is the Milwaukee fastback but instead of the blade storage it has a quarter inch bit driver and also has a bottle opener on the blade end

I'm a massive Fiskars fan, gonna search for one of these,, and some blades,,, thanks for showing us this one,,, All the best from across the pond,,, 😊

I hadn't thought of that sight line thing but I do love this knife and prefer it over every other that I have, and am left-handed, so maybe that's part of it!

Love this knife. Agree that the clip design needs work. I’m starting to be a Fiskars fan. Had some garden sheers. Now, after this knife impressed me, I just upgraded my shop scissors as well.

I have bought the new smaller version of this one, which is only 12cm when opened and it has a great pocket clip. Definitely something for the EDC crowd.

Hello again Doc Thank you for another Great Video.

I’m in the market for a new knife !!! Definitely going to check this out !

The square hole is for holding them in the dispenser box ..! Fiskars make a very good quality knives ...Really a good steel..👍 I onw a set of kitchen knives bought in Italy ,very Nice ..🌟

I believe both in the walk-in, the Fisker reason what’s known as a crossbar lock which is the generic term for Benchmade’s axis lock.

Looks like a great knife. I bought a Coast brand utility knife a year or two ago and found that the only blades that fit it were their brand. They weren't usually available at the big box and cost more than the standard ones. I can't convince myself to get another knife with proprietary blade types.

You should give the third fastback a try. The one with a bottle opener (never used it) and a bit driver on the other end with a liner lock is my all time favorite. I carried a benchmade 940 before and fell in love with the free floating locking system, which Milwaukee mimics with the fastback. It also stores an extra blade in the handle. My only gripe is from being a lefty. No way to reverse the clip without a deal of modifying. Ideally for me, it would be tip up, left carry. If it had that it would be a 10/10 for me.

Those DeWalt Carbide blades are what I swear by. They last a lot longer than anything else I've used. In some situations tho, a regular old carbon steel blade is preferred because the carbide can be TOO aggressive. Definitely interested on how those Fisker blades hold up. Give us all an update some day 👍

Can you do a video on the Fiskars utility blades And how they compare to the standard ones Just the blades if possible I appreciate it looking forward to the video

i bought the fiskars,, i like it, like the feel, the grip only it's hard to pull out of my pocket because of tight pocket fit.......

Bought this knife. Had some time this afternoon and did the Lowes/Home Depot holiday dance. Lowes had the Fiskars knife for about $15 and a 2-pack of 10 blades for another $10. The knife is cool. Feels great in the hand. Flips out well. Cuts beautifully. Must be the blades. Also picked up a Fastback 2-pack. Includes both versions - $15. A good price and easy to see for these aging eyes. Lowes has a bright green Craftsman Stanley-like work knife with black accents, made in the USA, for $6. How do you even pass on that? Edit: I feel like I should mention that the blade on the Craftsman is not held firmly at all. It wiggles.

I've had one of these for a month now. After two weeks the belt clip broke. One of the screws holding the blade is working its way loose and hampering the deployment. The blade is fantastic, I cut cardboard all day talking 1000 cuts and I have yet to change the blade. It's still as sharp as needed.

Yo I need two that DeWalt hex unit! Nice little gadget.

what about the Irwin Pro Flip models?

Just like the scissors, your cut lines are on the left The square is for the old school auto-blade advance

Does it even take off-brand blades without the cut-out?

I am now a huge fan of this knife. Thanks Doc; I first learnt about this knife here on you channel. Interestingly enough, this top quality hand tool is made in China. Good for them.

i can use generic blades on it?

Everyday carry... nothing beats Gerber. Small, light, well constructed, inexpensive.

Have u use metric L keys ?

I bought one of these and I give it a thumbs up but there is one thing I don’t like. I wish they would have designed it so more of the blade is exposed. My Gerber eab has about two thirds of the blade area that can be used. Other than that it’s a great design.

De todas las que tengo..que son 21 ..diferentes marcas y modelos 2 más cómodas la enpuñaduras es esa 1 firkas 2. Eswing..de enpuñadura azul Lo malo es que no tienen como halgunas.almacenamiemto de hojas ..pero son lo mejor que hay

Do the Fiskars hold extra blades inside like the Milwaukee fastback do?

Nice ROLEX😁

If sight line offset was designed much like Milwaukee, then it's for a tape measure end.

To review clip useless, big fold in slot in the grip, and a push button in the grip but it’s a great knife. Looks like you feel the need for a switchblade. I’ll stick with the slim non folding quick change Stanley 10-499. Btw virtually all shears and snips cut left. Green aviation snips cut right

It's been out for way more than a year since the publishing of this video.

Thx for the review, but you made a pretty good case to stick with the Milwaukee fastbacks.

Love these knives, except I broke the clip on the first day trying to attach it to my tool bag. Definitely a weak design feature.

I don’t think ErgoDynamic is a word 😊

Ergodynamic ?

Does the Fiskars utility knife force you to use their proprietary blades?

im titanium (my knife is) made from it

never heard of metric?

I use a utility knife every day in my line f work (wine sales). I open and cut HUNDREDS of boxes each week. I just don't understand the hype about the Fiskers knife. I owned and used on for about a year, and I just didn't like it. The rubbery handle attracts dirt, and stains easily from the ink you get on your hands from printed boxes, and is nearly impossible to keep clean. It is bulky and heavy. The clip is very tight, and difficult to adjust. And the rubberized grip catches clothing and aprons and makes the knife pull out of your pocket or off your belt very frequently. I relegated my Fiskers to my studio bench at home, and I use a Gerber Superknife Edge. It's rugged, doesn't catch my clothing, and super slim...

Utility knifes are to play with like that ? does that make it the best ? Right....... Good video tho! (dont play with knife kids!)

Amazon reviewers keep complaining about blades falling off. Has that been a problem for you? Wonder if that is a design fault or probably a problem with counterfeits. On that note, you should do a video on fakes. I am sure you've run into a few on Amazon ...

maybe they think you will cut away from yourself, like you should. It's just not good for cutting a line. fiskers is more for landscapers, so they arent going to be cutting drywall. 🤷‍♂️
