          BEST BOX CUTTET EVER
          Sliding box cutter knife is excellent. Ability to change blades without tools is a great feature that works as intended. I’ve owned many box cutters over the years and this is, hands down, THE BEST!

            Ugh. I just wanted a quality and reliable razor knife, so I spent the extra $6 and went for this guy. Horrible! Blade slides around Didn’t come with extra blades Button for “quick change” broke All within 5 days. Used it 2x

              Never
              Hardly used this knife when the slide broke, and now the blade won’t stay in the working position. Hardly any pressure causes the blade to retract into the housing, making it worthless to use.

                  Cheap Cost-Down Version of Old Knife
                  I bought the old version of this knife a few years ago and liked it so much, I bought what I thought was another one (this knife). Tried it out for a while, but it's just terrible, the ergonomics, the way the blade slides out, the sloppy one-way detents, etc., obviously a cost-reduced version of the previous design. It was so bad I hunted down the previous version, and threw this one in the trash before I hurt myself with it.

                    I probably wouldn’t buy this one again
                    Overall I really liked this knife, however, I agree with other reviewers that the blade needed to be changed very soon. I’ve had the blade since November and I’ve changed the blade 5 times. I do use it a lot. But the real bummer was the rubber piece the extended the blade came off already.

                      I am disappointed in this utility knife...not the quality of product I have come to expect from the Milwaukee brand. First the good points: very comfortable/ergonomic to hold and blade extends easily. The disappointments: blade is very difficult to retract (which almost leaves you no choice but to let the blade remain out/unprotected between uses) and there are no instructions included on how to change blades. Furthermore, the package says there is storage for 5 blades, but no blades are included...not a huge deal, but kind of misleading. All in all, no improvement in a concept that has been around for decades.

                      This is a high quality utility knife. This particular Milwaukee utility knife has two features that I haven't seen before. First, the metal body is made of aluminum, so it is surprisingly light weight. It's still very rigid and solid, but the knife is much lighter than any other steel model that I've used. This is nice if you're already carrying around a heavy tool bag or tool belt. Second, the blade slider is on the side, not on the top of the knife. This makes it more ergonomic to open and close the blade with your right thumb. Other than that, it's a pretty simple standard utility knife. It has a button near the tip for quick blade changes, which works well. It has a plastic 'lid' on the bottom of the handle that can store additional blades, and the blade holder even has a steel spring clip inside to keep the spare blades from rattling around, which is a nice touch. Last, it has a nice large hole in the end opposite the blade for a lanyard or hook. Overall it's a very well made, well designed utility knife. I have one minor complaint: It doesn't come with any spare blades--the blade holder comes empty, which is the first time I've ever seen a new utility knife that didn't have at least one spare blade. So make sure to buy some spare blades if you buy this knife. One thing to note: This knife is for right handers only. If you are left handed, I do not recommend this knife. I'm left handed, so as soon as I received this knife and realized that the blade slider is on the side of the knife and designed to be used with the right thumb, I realized I wouldn't be able to use it. I gave it to my right-handed friend who uses a utility knife all day, every day, and he loves it. He particularly likes that it is light weight, as it's a few less ounces in his tool bag.

                      Okay, I don't know if it is just this particular knife that I received, or if it is an overall design flaw, but I gave this utility knife a low rating because it does not function properly. First I'll describe the overall build quality and design lastly describe the flaw. Overall it seems well-built of decent materials, feels good in the hand and has convenient storage with quick blade change. Outwardly it seemed like a winner, however I quickly realized that I could barely make the blade slide in and out, had to exert an extreme amount of force to make it operate, and sometimes it would freeze in place and not go any further in one direction including closing all the way. It's not a strength issue on my part, it's either a design flaw or a quality control issue on this particular knife. I was taught to handle knives carefully, but almost found myself trying to force the blade open or closed, which is unsafe, particularly with a utility knife which is extremely sharp and thin and not to ever be misused. Because it is unsafe I cannot in good conscience recommend this knife. I have not tried to lubricate, dismantle or modify it in any way to see if it will function better but that shouldn't be necessary. I did try to open and close it quickly to unbind it, with minor if any difference afterward. Again, this may not be a design flaw as a whole, since Milwaukee makes quality tools I suspect my particular one may have an isolated issue, however bear that in mind if considering this knife. Other than the fact that it does not operate properly, I would have given it a completely positive review for the rest of it as a whole.

                      I have 3 other utility knives (aka box cutters) and this one beats them all. With those other knives I am forever accidentally changing the blade setting (opening it farther than desired, or closing it) because the slide lock for changing the blade position is always located on the top of the knife, right where your thumb naturally rests. Milwaukee solved this problem by relocating the slide lock to the side of the knife. Now, I never accidentally change the blade position. Other than the blade being fully retracted, the knife has 3 different positions for the blade: 1) just the tip exposed, 2) half of the blade exposed, and 3) the full blade exposed. The body of the knife is made of metal so the knife is tough and will take a beating, including handle being dropped. Unlike my other knives, the Milwaukee knife features a grooved grip handle, which makes it much easier to hold and control, and prevents slippage in your hand. One feature I really love is the large blade storage compartment that is accessible by a flip cover versus having to get out a screwdriver and unscrewing two knife halves, which is how many competing knives are designed. My only desire would be if Milwaukee had included some spare blades in the knife itself (and raised the price a bit to cover them). The end of the knife handle also features a lanyard hole so you can hang this knife from a belt if desired. Changing the blade also does not require that you open the knife; rather, there is a push button on the side that when pushed will release the blade. This allows for a quick blade change. Another quality product from Milwaukee.
