Milwaukee Fastback Folding Utility Knife, Red-Black

This is my 2nd “fastback”, the first is the utility blade model, which has been a terrific utility knife for my job in a global shipping center.
The locking ¼” bit driver is a huge feature and the stainless steel combo edge Tanto blade is a terrific choice for a versatile cutting tool, in my opinion the fastback is one of the best EDC Multitools on the market today!

I’ve carried this knife daily for several months now and I love it. It came out of the box sharp, holds a good edge, and is easy to sharpen. I’ve used the straight edge tip portion of the blade to open packages, cut insulation, and strip wire. The serrated back end of the blade is good for cutting plastic straps off of shipping containers, and the screwdriver is ergonomic and works great! The pocket clip is a solid reversible design. I’ve even used the bottle opener to pop the top on a few cool ones.

A solid, affordable tool. I highly recommend it! 👍🏻

This knife is very durable and has a lot of utility. Having a flathead/phillips bit built into the handle stops me from having to carry around extra tools.

I recently got my hands on the Milwaukee FASTBACK Folding Utility Knife, and I have to say, it’s quickly become one of my favorite tools. This isn’t just any utility knife—it’s a well-thought-out multi-tool that delivers on every front.

First, the design. The knife itself is robust and solid, with a comfortable grip that makes handling it a breeze. The folding mechanism is smooth and secure, with a satisfying click when it locks into place. It feels sturdy enough to tackle tough jobs, yet it’s compact and easy to carry around.

One of the standout features is the built-in switch blade action. It’s incredibly easy to deploy the blade with one hand, which is a game-changer for quick tasks. The blade is razor-sharp right out of the box, and changing blades is a snap thanks to the tool-free blade replacement feature.

But what sets this knife apart from the rest is the additional functionality. The integrated Phillips and flathead screwdrivers are a brilliant touch, saving me from having to carry extra tools. They’re perfectly sized for most common screws, and having them right on the knife means I’m always prepared.

And let’s not forget the bottle opener. It’s a small detail but one that’s come in handy more times than I can count. It’s a nice addition that rounds out the knife’s versatility.

This knife plus screwdriver is great, many times I’m at work and need a flathead or Phillips head spur of the moment and this comes in handy.
