"Switch Blade" Utility Knife

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

Fairy Knives USA "Switch Blade" utility knife. Who's interested?

Ultra tough and lightweight FR4 G10 frame with classic old school linen micarta scales and titanium blade holder. 6" overall, .250" thick heavy duty frame and slim .125" scales. Swap out blades and carry with style!

Very cool. I like the overall esthetic.
For it to work for me, I would need more of the blade exposed in the front. In other words, make the top blade support shorter. Sometimes you need to make deep cuts and 90% of the utility knives cannot do it. Another feature needed, IMO, is tool less blade exchange. An acceptable work around would be on board storage for the blade change tool. If I have to stop what I'm doing and go off in search of a tool, I'll just end up using a different knife.

I like it, the blade exposure is just about right for cutting the heavy weight cardboard on toilets, water heaters etc. with that said a kydex sheath would complete this box cutter for my needs.. Ps. A leather pouch sheath wouldn’t be bad either.

This is intriguing. Agree with the notes above about toolless / convenient blade swap and some type of sheath. What does the other side look like?

One more prototype to go, this one is 7075-T6 and copper with micarta. I'm hoping to have a run of these ready in a little over a month.

Classy. I hope we don’t have to keep a pinky in the air when using it.
