Stanley Quickslide Knife Review

An interesting take on the utility knife. This Stanley tool features a skeleton design, with a compact profile, three positive stops, a belt hook, and a bottle opener. This tool puts the utility in utility knife.

Super flexible as a pocket knife, auxiliary knife, or primary utility knife. You can store it almost anywhere on your belt, body, or tool box. The blade is secure in the body of the knife but still easy to release when you need to change the blade and during use you can modify the reveal of the blade to best suit the application.

Performance

When it comes to retractable utility knives the biggest pet peeve users have is the blade releasing from the knife. This is most prevalent with quick change blades. The Stanley Quickslide Knife has a quick change feature that is unique to it's skeleton concept but holds up surprisingly well to tough applications.

This knife shines as a light and fast utility knife that you can keep handy even when you drop your belt or if you are doing a task that requires a few tools. The innovative carabineer clip keeps the tool handy without filling your pockets. I find myself keeping the knife clipped to my pants even when wearing a belt, its a great back up and I barely notice it's there due to the thin profile of the tool.

This is a great all around utility blade, whether you throw it in an all purpose tool box, use it as a pocket knife, or integrate it into your professional compliment of tools you'll be glad you have it around.
