The NUKNIVES Kumpanter Utility Knife: The Best Utility Knife for the Money-Gaining an Edge, Ep. 450

There’s really no way to do anything other than gush about this one. While the NUKNIVES Kumpanter pocket knife was really nothing special, its utility knife cousin is honestly the best utility knife for the money that I’ve ever used. It’s $50, but for that, you get G-10 handle scales, a spectacular action, a good deep carry clip, spectacular ergonomics, a large amount of exposed blade, a brilliant blade change system that doesn’t need a screwdriver but is very sturdy, and a well-executed linerlock. Ergonomics in particular are this knife’s selling point given that they’re often absent on utility knives even in the same price range. Particularly if you can’t really carry a pocket knife, but can carry a utility razor, something like this is great.

These are way over priced! Civivi Utl knife come in Aluminum for 42.00 may be a bit smaller but better quality in my opinion!

Not sure how this is “way” overpriced when a Milwaukee Fastback 6-in-1 is $10 less. Regarding the Elementum Utility, I got one. The revision to add thumb studs was nice, and the lock is better than I thought it would be, but I’m not super sold on the ergonomics. The winner would be the OKnife Otacle U1 if it weren’t for making it WAY too small, but if they made one bigger and kept the price under $30, I’d be happy to declare that a winner.

The Civivi one has a major design fail. You need a torx driver to replace the blade. Not very practical at all for what should be a practical knife.
