DEWALT 8.75" Folding Retractable Utility Knife

I got this about a week ago and really love the quality that I’ve come to expect from Dewalt products. It is very well built, rugged (as I use this as my primary pocket/general knife, and carry/use it daily here in Washington State) and all of the features it offers. I have carried a Dewalt Auto auto load folding utility knife (DWHT10261) for at least 8 years that is my absolute favorite utility knife and purchased a mother Dewalt folding utility knife back in 2016 (DW10035). The DW10035 is ok but I didn’t care for the location of the blade storage release and it just felt “cheap” (it is not as solid in my opinion as the DWHT10261). So I leave it in my tool box as a good “spare”. But then saw this new DWHT10035L and just had to see if it would replace my DWHT10261. Upon opening the package, it is built very solid. Has great weight and feel in my hands. This is far better then its predecessor (the DW10035) and the storage release tap is now located outside the folding frame of the knife unlike the previous model. So now I have TWO FAVORITE utility knives that I trade out every other day (don’t like to have my knives feeling neglected lol). So in short, yes I would definitely recommend this utility knife to anyone. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I started using this knife about a week ago. First thing I noticed was the sturdy construction. Since its a folding knife, the handle is wider than standard utility knives and it fits my hand better. On board blade storage is nice. The blade stays fixed in the quick blade change release even when pulling hard on the knife. The only thing I can say i didn't like is that you have to retract the blade before folding it closed. It essentially doubles the time it takes to close the knife. Its only a little more time but when you're on a ladder holding something, it can be annoying. Ill keep using this knife because it works well for me.
