My mom likes those Milwaukee Fast Back box cutters. Like a gravity knife with a shitty quick change blade but I put some serrated ones in there so she doesn't have to mess with blade changes.

Never even occurred to me that such a thing existed. Thanks!Originally Posted by BobLoblaw

Guardian Tactical--mentioned in my last post. Super smooth action. Northwest Knives in Idaho is a dealer that carries them.
When I was in OR a couple of months ago, it just so happened that I was within a few miles of the Benchmade factory, so I poked my head in. They have a showroom with exemplars of their entire production, and this was the smoothest OTF:

Tall lever, grippy handle, great ergos, easy action. FWIW.

I found a manual out-the-front retractable knife:

Couldn’t be happier!
I guess microtech only has one box size, haha. Thing is so tiny it fits in the box, open, with room to spare!
Couple of size comparisons. It really is hard to convey how tiny this thing is.
Apparently this is the week I buy tiny knives.

Me neither, I’ll be damned. Ordered.

I can see how these things are addicting. Now I want an 85
I got to carry my new Microtech as-intended yesterday for the first time (dress pants, at work) and it’s pretty much ideal. I don’t think I’ll need to bother changing out the glass-breaker for the lower profile screw like I thought I would. But I have the screw(s) in case I do (which I’m sure I will promptly lose by the time I want to make the change).
Only thing that would make it better would be more of a deep-carry clip, and preferably without the white logo on it. Either plain black or matte silver, ideally.
Sorry for pic of old man flat ass.

Something from Etsy perhaps re a deeper carry:

A bit of sharpie on the logo (or even a piece of tape, textured or otherwise) until a new clip can be had?

Anyone ever notice the UTX-85 isn’t a standard size? An inch in overall length difference? And over a 1/2” difference in closed length? Maybe the larger one isn’t *really* a UTX-85?
