Super Sharp Blade, Unique Handle

Review for 6.5 Utility Knife:

Im a big fan of Fiskars products and the Fiskars Utility Knife looked like an unique type of knife so it seemed like a great addition to my kitchen. The utility knife is good versatile knife. The knife is designed with the unique handle to give the chef a pinch grip like you might grip the top of chefs knifes blade but with this handle, it gives you the same type of grip on the handle.

While the handle is ergonomic, the Japanese-grade stainless steel blade is the real stand out for me. The blade is super sharp. Ive used some cheaper knives to a few higher end knives, and this knife is the sharpest Ive used. The knife has sailed through food like a hot knife slicing through butter.

The knife comes with a knife guard to protect your hands and the knife blades from dulling. The knife can be placed in the dishwasher with the knife guard attached.

The knife was designed in the USA but made in China.

This is without a doubt the sharpest knife I've ever felt.  It is definitely a dangerous knife if you are not careful.  It has a very comfortable handle, and a serious blade guard to protect you from accidents.

The angle of the handle makes this an excellent work tool, which is what it is designed for.  This will probably cut through vinyl tile easily.  The angle makes it easy to get the leverage  you need.  This is remarkable sturdy and the handle is slightly cushioned to make the toughest cutting jobs easier.

For fun, I gave this the paper cutting test and it sliced through it like a razor blade.  I've never had such a sharp knife and know that this is the one I will get a lot of use out of.  However I'm also going to get some of those cut-proof gloves to wear when I use this.

This saw is very sharp!! Well designed handle and it feels comfortable while holding it. The only thing I am worried about is the blade is held on with two screws, hopefully this is for when it dulls, you can change the blade..... have not looked to see if there are replacement blades for it.
By the way>>>>> If you order this, make sure someone is home to sign for it!!  Mine was sent all over town and finally to the post office. It needs an adult signature.

Really sharp knife.  Probably one if not the nicest I have ever had!

Beautifully crafted and designed with a super sharp edge and a very smooth design. The handle is smartly designed and fits perfectly into my hands. The serrated part of the edge provides superior cutting and the knife has a very solid heft to it. I would recommend this to a friend.

The handle is really nice and comfortable. The blade is extremely thick, and I was able to chop through remarkably thick branches because of all the extra mass. The machete is well balanced and doesn't sting when you don't hit exactly the right spot on the blade. The sheath appears to be reasonably well made. My only complaint is that the grind angle on the blade is pretty steep, and doesn't yield a very sharp edge for what it could be with a proper 25-30 degree grind. Of course, a few minutes with a bench grinder will fix this, and I'll have a great machete. No complaints structurally, and its heavier-duty than anything I've seen for sale anywhere else.

This is a GREAT product.  It is super sharp, and the handle is outstanding for comfort.

The blade comes sharp as hell and feels hefty in the hand. Obviously your're looking for a flashy blade when you buy this and you won't be disappointed. The assisted open feels very strong and smooth. The only fault I've found is the loose screw I found right away. I've actually manages to loose the little thing and now it doesn't look quite as nice. Still a well made blade, but it could be put together a little better.

I've become a little bit of a knife snob and this is one of my favorite daily carry knives.  The blade is nice and wide for close cutting and shaped right for slashing.  It's surprisingly heavy but easy to carry.  It opens quickly and could be used as a self defense knife if a fixed blade wasn't an option.  S30V steel.  My only negative is that becaus the handle scaling is aggressive it wear against the pocket creating a soft spot which will become a hole.  but the grips are some of the best designed grips for handling the knife that I've ever seen, I just wouldn't put it in wool/ linen slacks.
If you would like to know something specific about this item just ask and I'll try to respond within a day or so.

I have about 30 knives and this one has become my favorite everyday carry. I love the blade shape, love how thick the blade is and its just the right length. As for the handle, that is where it really shines. It has amazing egos for a handle its size and the ti frame lock works great. Can only get a three finger grip on it, but the egos are so good it almost feels natural.

The only reason I give it four stars is because the grind on the cutting edge is terrible, it still cuts great but it looks very bad. Not something you expect to see on a 200 dollar knife. As almost all my other 100 dollar plus knives have almost perfectly even edge grinds.

This is by far the best chef's knife I've ever used (out of about 10 or so). Great to have a left handed one too! The marbling on the blade is stunning, and helps with veggie chopping by not "holding" the food.

Two small gripes with this knife: 1.) the blade comes overly fine edged and ridiculously sharp pointed. The disadvantage being with a micro sharp edge and point, dulling and damage occurs too easily with regular use. 2.) The bone-looking plastic handle smells like burnt plastic--not exactly appetizing.

But other than those two fine points (excuse the pun), this is a great chef's knife.

This little bugger is RAZOR sharp. It's sharper than most of my pocket knives. I got it to clip onto my camping backpack with a carbiner and found myself reaching for it more frequently than any other knife because it was so sharp & reliable. I like the skeletonized handle; I made my own handle wrap for it out of paracord and I get a lot of comments about how cool it looks. It's amazingly light and it also makes a great keychain add-on for the car keys. I was impressed by the quality, and it's held up to a lot of abuse. With the plastic sheath that snaps securely onto the blade it is virtually waterproof. I've seen a lot of knives that try to copy this knife, and cost less, but they are always cheap quality and don't perform anywhere near like this one.

Purchased as a gift for a son.  He loves it.  His friends envy him for having it.  It is well designed and well made.  The blade holds an edge and is easy to open with one hand.  the belt clip is attached with screws so that it can be moved from one end or one side to the other and are held in place by a Locktite kind of compound.  To remove them requires a high quality screw driver and a firm grip.  A little heat will help.  Boiling water comes to mind.  You could easily spend a bucket of money on a custom knife that would not surpass or even equal this one.

I love this knife! It is huge and sharp and perfect for all of my needs. Some pros are that its 4 and a half inches closed and the blade is 3 and a half inches. Comes with a huge and i mean huge flathead screw driver, philips screw driver which is also huge, wood saw, wire stripper, soda can opener (i think), reamer, and I think there is one more. It is perfect for unboxings. However, there are a few cons. Some are that the bottom non serrated part is really sharp! I cut myself twice! So be careful. Over all, i would give this knife a 5 out of 5 stars!

If you select your cutlery by how pretty or expensive it is, you may not want this knife.  This Santoku knife cuts and it cuts extremely well.  The reviewer who compares it to lasers is absolutely right;  it's horrificly sharp.  If you're not careful, the money you save buying this knife will be lost on Urgent Care charges to close that bleeding finger.  I do  put an occasional edge on it - about every three or four uses - but it's more of an  obligatory action than necessary one.  The blade feels thin and the plastic handle looks kind of cheap but  the secret polymers used in creating this handle make it incredibly slip resistant while the blade maintains a fine edge and saws through fresh meat like a Jonserreds chain saw on a New England Maple. A friend who does a lot of cooking loved using it when she came over to cook for me and she was so thrilled to get one for her going away gift that she mentions it frequently without any prodding.

I'm not trying to impress anyone, my linoleum floors are tough and hardy but not nearly as fancy as the ceramic tile I first priced.  I have a basic Ninja blender instead of a Bullet and I think I'm spoiling myself when my Viva paper towels arrive.  This knife is functional, easy to hold - even for small hands - and cuts like a, well, knife.

I have a dozen knives for different things in my collection, and I always appreciate one that is well-made and understated.  This is not a pretty knife by any stretch, and it's not ergonomic----but you'd be hard pressed to find one that opened more smoothly.  Apply a little bit of pressure to the thumb studs and the knife glides open with a solid "nock" sound.  There's no resistance or metal scratchiness to mar the smooth opening, which is real delight.

Unfortunately, the gunmetal grip is a very awkward shape for me, and in my opinion, unreasonably heavy.  This monster feels like it's almost a pound, which when coupled with the unwieldy shape, make it tough for an average build woman to hold and carry.  They could have shaved almost half a pound off this thing without compromising performance, just by thinning out the plates of the hand grip.

But the action is top notch, both in the opening and closing, and there's a lot to be said for that.  If you've ever struggled to close a knife one-handed, you know how dangerous and frustrating it is.  But even with the difficult shape of the hand grip, it's still easy to close the knife using just one thumb. If you have extraordinarily large hands, or you just prefer an extremely heavy knife, this one's for you.  As for me, it's a good addition to my library of knives, but not one that I would use for everyday tasks.
