Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bessey D-BKWH Quick-Change Folding Utility Knife - Wood Grain Handle
Customer Review: Solid, Quality Construction
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good looking, high quality utility knife. The blade is an easy change, though I doubt I will much care about that, since I am a light duty user. Still, it's nice to know that I don't have to disassemble the handle to change a blade.
What surprised me was the weight of the knife. It is not something you want to carry in your pocket everyday, unless you have a carpenter's apron or cargo pants. It does have a clip if you want to hang it from your belt, but I would rather have had them sell it with a belt pouch. The weight comes from the use of steel in the construction, rather than a lighter weight material.
The biggest negitive in my opinion is that the blade does not fold completely into the handle, as do most pocket knifes. This means that the actual width of the knife is much larger than you would expect from the picture. At its widest point, the blade holder is extending a full half inch outside of the handle when the blade is closed, making the closed knife half again as wide as the open knife it.
Something I don't see any need for is the thumb stud, presumably for a one-handed open. I have not been able to one-hand it since the day it arrived, because the spring holding the blade securely closed is too strong for my thumb. But that aside, I'm not sure that one-handing this knife is a very safe thing to do.
On the more positive side, the manufacturer ships the knife with a plastic edge protector to prevent accidental loss of a finger, or fraction thereof. I leave it in place when I'm not using the knife, though I think a heavy user will probably disgard it, or lose it.
Also good is the fact that the bottom edge of the blade holder is knurled to help keep a finger from slipping right under the cutting edge of the blade. Many is the man/woman who will one day silently offer a pray of thanks for this thoughtful design.
If you need a utility knife, I don't thik you can find better quality for your money.
