OKNIFE U1 Pro Multitool Folding Utility Knife with Folding Screwdriver

The OKnife U1 Pro has won out as my every day carry. The thumb stud is eminently flickable, and I am generally a fan of the "tool-less" clip for the blade that both reveals more of the razor and is fairly easy to change (it's not really tool-less, as you'll almost certainly want to use the included lever to really tighten it all the way down, but in a pinch you could probably get away with hand-tightening). Personally, I appreciate the simplicity of carrying a utility-blade knife. It's (usually) not as stylish as a "real" knife, but I carry my knife to use it -- being able to keep it sharp with a low-effort blade change and not needing to worry about "ruining" the blade means I use it for everything (except food). The addition of the bit driver is what makes this my top EDC choice. I also carry the Oknife 12-piece bit set (which I would strongly recommend if you purchase this knife). This combination allows me to work with a lot of fastener use-cases without having to go get my tools, and removing this hurdle often means I fix something when I see it vs. making a mental note to do it later. The bits aren't full-size like the Milwaukee Fastback, almost certainly an inspiration for this knife -- but the Oknife is also significantly less bulky. The bits aren't always the exactly what I would want for the problem at hand but generally are enough for the kind of small tasks that you would want to do without a full toolbox. You get some nice variety with the separately-sold 12 bit pack (including a pencil!) and I like knowing I'm covered there, but you could probably get away without it as I use the included philips/flat 90% of the time (allen/hex bit is the other one I'll generally use). I like to run a ceramic blade in mine which seems to hold it's sharpness for near forever (although chips easy) -- I recommend giving them a shot. The only thing I'd love to see is maybe a flipper tab/push-button release for the utility blade (I really liked this on my Ti Oknife U1), and possibly some ultra-lightweight scales (carbon or al? I would love to minimize my pocket weight). The only thing that could beat this for me is a knife with the same features but a bit more style to it -- and so far, that doesn't exist.

I own a lot of these types of razor knives- both popular, name brand, ones and cheaper ones. This is by far the most compact, easy to carry, one I own! The blade is easily deployed using the stud with a simple flick of your thumb or pulling the crossbar lock and flicking your wrist. The handle material feels great in the hand and I love the color, kind of a coyote brown. The bit holder completely disappears into the handle. It sits perfectly flush, I thought they sent me the wrong one at first because I didnt even see it, lol! When its locked open there is no play at all, its very tight! The button lock is just as nice. The pocket clip is exactly how I like them to be. It's a super deep carry clip, doesnt stick out at all. It is recessed into the scales and the screw heads sit flush into the clip, no way for it to get caught on your pocket. Clip is firm enough to stay put but not so firm that its hard to utilize! Be sure to get Oknife's 10 piece double-ended bit set, very handy to have all those bits! I used the torn bit just this morning to help install some parts on another "tool". This is WELL worth the money, BUY IT! You'll be very happy with the quality.

Huge olight fan. I have the olight pen, olight pen 2 , and 3 different olight flashlights. This multi tool does not disappoint. I love it. Great build quality. Light and perfect for edc. I use it daily at work and love it. The screw drivers are a nice add and have come in handy. I also like that you can order an olight but set to go with it. The extra little tool is nice as well with a flathead edge, can opener and also tightened the screw on the oknife blade holder. My only wish is that the extra tool somehow was able to make snap into the handle so that it was incorporated into the unit and not something extra to carry but I just hook it onto my work keys so it's always with me at work. Highly recommend.

Coming from the no pro version of this knife, I'd say its well worth the upgrade. The knife itself is very solid for a very small folding utility knife. On the previous version and this one, I have never had any issues with the blade coming out when I didn't want it to. The opening action is very smooth, just as smooth as sever hundred dollar benchmade knives that I own with the same locking action. Blade changes are very easy with the included tool or I tend to use a small pair of pliers (that's what I usually have on me). And the screwdriver, It comes in handy more than you'd think. Its not big enough to drive any crazy screws, but remotes, controllers, kids toys it works perfect for. To fit the screwdriver in the handle, Oknife lengthened the grip. This does take up more room in your pocket from the previous version, but I think that little bit extra makes it way more comfortable in the hand. Now for a few cons. The screwdriver bit is just retained with a magnet. Sometimes it can fall out and be a slight annoyance. The blade locking screw can strip if over tightened. On a previous model, I had over tightened the locking screw and rendered the knife useless. Looking at them both, the Pro version seems to use the exact same locking screw. I imagine this issue could extend to this model. Overall, great little knife.

I used to carry regular folding knives from the likes of Benchmade, CRKT, etc... However, I found that the reason I used a blade 99% of the time was for opening boxes. This sort of task dulls up a knife bland and gets it covered in tape. I started using utility knives at home to open boxes and just stopped carrying a knife. While looking for a good folding utility knife, most of them are pretty terrible. The Gerber I have is okay, but very basic, small, and kind of ugly. This Oknife is perfect (well, nearly so!). I love that it has more of the blade exposed so it looks and performs more like a 'real' knife. That blade exposure means I could see myself doing things like cutting an apple or other things with this knife that I would not do with your typical utility knife. It also just looks better that most utility knives. The micarta is a very nice material. The lock seems solid. I absolutely LOVE that it comes with a bit driver. The only other tool I use more than a utility knife is a screwdriver. So this has me covered. Pros + Beautiful design + Solidly built with attention to detail (honestly I could see this knife being sold for $75 easily) + Great materials + Takes regular blades (although only 1 is included with the knife) Cons / improvements - Although the design is nice, it would be amazing if there was another way to hold the blade in place besides the screw. That screw on the side does prevent you from using it completely like a regular knife as you can't slice through something thick without hitting it. The screw is low profile, and I don't know of another design that could work, but it's the only thing about the blade mechanism I don't love. - It would be cool if there were some tweezers in the handle. Overall I can't imagine a better folder pocket utility knife. It's a beautiful knife that you don't have to maintain the blade (just replace it!) and you always have a bit driver on you.

I work as a pipefitter. I use this daily for the last year. The screwdriver and flat head has held up amazing. The tool will not break. Under stress from twisting with the screwdriver the handles don’t flex nor break. It’s compact and light and you can’t even tell it’s on you. BUY IT. best tool I’ve purchased and will only buy another once they get rid of the proprietary tool to change the blade. That is my only problem with it.

In the world of folding replaceable utility blades, I think that a king has been crowned. Look, I belong to the subculture of American blue collars that carry knives (plural) to work and a separate combination of knives elsewhere. You’ve got your prideful edc (usually riding clipped inside of dominant-side front pocket), you’ve got your multitool (in my case riding in a scout’s carry leather belt sheath on my dominant side hip, and you’ve got your utility knife (usually riding clipped inside of your dominant side rear pocket). I remember when folding utility knives started to show up on jobsites a few years ago; they were hard to miss because the only option was the giant gen-1 Milwaukee Fastback constructed of aluminum with the wire pocket clip. Button release, liner lock, simple enough mechanism ton swap out blades, it completely changed the game for just about every single hand-tool oriented trade. Didn’t take long for other brands to want in on the action, and I ate up each offering as it was placed on the shelves of the big box stores, every major tool brand had their version. Dewalt, Makita, Huskey, Kobalt, even Fiskars put forth a challenger. Each had done something right, but none enough so to dethrone the original especially since at this point the newest generation of Milwaukee Fastback had a reversible flathead-Philips screwdriver integrated into the handle. Now we fast forward a few years, and it doesn’t take much imagination to conclude that the same blue collar tool users and the hardcore knife-nuts of the world often overlap and are one in the same. Well some point, these legendary affordable knife manufacturers (Oknife, Civivi, Kizer, etc) catch wind that their customers are carrying one of their knives in one pocket and and a utility knife made by a tool company in another pocket, and I don’t think they liked that. Because apparently they went to their customers and asked them what they wanted in a utility knife, and then they went to work. I went with Oknife’s offering because I’ve been such a huge fan of this company for years, ever since they supported my police academy class by giving us an unbelievable discount on pistol lights upon graduation (pistol lights that cost us less than 1/3 of the competitors and outperformed them so brutally in every category our major Texas agency adopted the Olight officially going forward). It was the first knife from Oknife that I’d handled, and it was just as exceptional as their lights. The action for flipping the blade with thumb or backside finger is the same as the high end knives of today. The blade swap system, while requiring a tool, is the most secure on the market with zero blade wiggle and perfect alignment. The amount of cutting edge that’s exposed is another element that was so well thought out. The micarta scales are as grippy as you could want them to be. The crossbar lock isn solid and responsive. It’s just perfect. If I had to have one gripe, it’s that it’s a tad small. But you’ll get over it quickly. Highly recommend.

My handle is micarta which is a very handsome look, but can be slightly slippery. Blade lockup is very secure. Size is a bit small to my large hands but fits easily in any pocket which is why I chose this style. I’m extremely satisfied with this choice.

La hoja que incluye es de buena calidad, la he usado por 4 meses y aun no pierde su filo. El slot para las puntas es compatible con juegos diferentes, por lo que si cuentas con un set de puntas de desarmadores, podrás usarlos sin ningun problema. Con el tiempo, adquiere mas carácter. La he expuesto a agua, aceite y suciedad, y sigue funcionando sin ningún problema

What a beautiful cutter. Flawless construction. It'll never go blunt when you can just change the blade. It's a keeper.

Una herramienta excelentemente diseñada, hay pocas herramientas para este tipo de navajas que aprovechen el filo de la mejor manera además de que es mucho más difícil que se mande a la fregada el filo tiene muy buena sensación y es práctica además de resistente

I am very happy with this item
