OKNIFE U1 Pro Folding Utility Knife with Folding Screwdriver, Quick Change Blade, Rail Lock and Pocket Clip for Men and Women (Donut Type)

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.

This is the sturdiest folding utility knife I've ever owned with a smooth single hand action. The 4mm bit holder is a nice bonus, I ended up buying their bit set and the pencil bit is my favorite for EDC. I like this thing so much I ended up buying all the Dads in my family one for Father's Day!

Came with the tool nothing missing. Super nicely made love the paint, and pretty durable. Love the convenience or switching the blades out instead of sharpening but definitely durable so far

1. Carry thru TSA, minus a blade. 2. I wish the install tool was designed into the knife, not a separate thing. 3. Cute design!

After changing the blade once the little twist lock rounds out and you can’t really get it undone unless you keep pliers on you
