While burly camp knives or tactical folding blades certainly look cool, for your day-to-day cutting chores, they’re probably overkill. For most people, the best choice is a simple, sturdy, and small utility blade—something like the Gerber Prybrid, for example. But if you want to level up from your typical box cutter, Amazon has a great one from the legendary Klein Tools, and it’s just $20 right now.
The Klein Tools Flickblade Folding Utility Knife—now selling for $20—is 29% off its normal price of $28. This super functional blade is a big deal on Amazon: It’s earned nearly 2,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who call it “very handy and sturdy,” with some even dubbing it the “best utility knife.” It’s also been purchased over 1,000 times in the last month alone and is currently ranking as one of Amazon’s bestselling models.

This pseudo-multitool knife features a super sharp replaceable utility blade and a fold-out quarter-inch nut driver with an included Phillips bit. The blade deploys easily by pressing a button on the side of the ergonomic handle and can lock in place at both 180-degree and 130-degree angles for maximum versatility (the latter is great for slicing open boxes). With its small size, the knife fits easily in a pocket or tool chest drawer, and a clip on the side of the handle allows you to wear it on a belt, too.
Amazon shoppers have showered the Flickblade with superlatives in their reviews. “This is the best utility knife I’ve ever used,” one shopper said. “I bought this about six months ago and it still works great! I work in construction and use it a lot every day.” Another shopper agreed, saying, “I’ve had many but this one is, by far, the best.”

“If you use a box cutter/utility knife for work—even if you’re not an electrician—just get one of these and forget all the other folding utility knives out there,” said another shopper.
The Klein Tools Flickblade combines the dependable cutting power and convenient size of a utility knife with the always-handy functionality of a multitool. Especially at just $20, it’s a worthy investment for any tool kit or EDC setup. Grab yours today, though, because this discount won’t last long.
