What Is a Utility Knife?
A utility knife is a knife with a sharp, replaceable and often retractable blade designed for cutting various materials such as cardboard, drywall, corrugated packaging, plastic and other materials. With its general purpose design, compact size and usually sturdy but ergonomic handle, the utility knife is a versatile tool.
The user can adjust the blade with the handle. Therefore the utility knife can be used for different purposes. For example, by advancing the blade up to 1 cm forward, it is possible to use the utility knife as a Box Cutter. For cutting the tape of a box without damaging the contents inside. When the blade becomes blunt, it can be quickly replaced, prolonging the knife's life time. The main thing is to always have a spare blade that fits your knife and the job at hand.
Utility Knives Types
There are many types of utility knives that resemble each other in appearance. The main difference between utility knives is whether the blade is retractable or not and the type of blade that is placed in them. By replacing the blade you can change the functionality of the knife. For example, by inserting a heavy-duty blade into a knife that is extra durable, thicker, and possibly coated, you will increase the knife's performance and can use it to cut particularly tough objects for a longer period of time.
There are some knives that don't have a slider to extend the blade, and they in turn have a more stable locking of the blade. Some utility knives has a screw that holds the body together and fixes the blade. Most utility knives have a blade storage or compartment in its handle. It is also possible to find utility knives with folding handles. These knives are called folding knives.
Therefore, we can distinguish these types of knives:
- folding utility knife
- box cutter
- safety utility knife
- retractable utility knife
- auto retracting utility knife
- non retractable utility knife
- fixed blade utility knife
- heavy duty utility knife
- automatic utility knife
- snap off utility knife
- serrated utility knife

Snap-Off Utility Knife | These utility knives are sometimes called “wallpaper knives”. Blades go through the body of the knife and have segments. It is possible to extend the blade with a slider. When the edge of the tip get blunt, the blade segment can be snapped off. It is not advisable to extend the blade much forward and do heavy work, as there is a risk that the blade will snap off where the blade notches on the blade and this can cause injury to the user of the knife. These knives almost always come in bright colors such as orange, blue, and yellow.
