Ace Hardware has the Milwaukee Fastback folding pocket knife model 48-22-1520 on sale for $9.99 . https://www.acehardware.com/depar...es/2408664

These sell for $15 at Home Depot. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwa.../310361146

The MILWAUKEE FASTBACK Folding Knife features a press and flip mechanism providing users easy, one-handed opening. The folding knife has a stainless steel drop point blade that stays sharp. The pocket knife also features a liner lock that secures the blade while also allowing users to easily close it when done. The folding pocket knife has a durable belt clip that reduces pocket tearing and includes a tether-ready lanyard hole.

I was looking for something to burn my expiring Ace Rewards on and came upon this knife.

In Camo, it was FP at $13 in January. https://slickdeals.net/f/15550858-milwaukee-fastback-camo-stainless-steel-folding-knife-w-2-95-blade-13-free-s-h?v=1

Must resist, too many knives and flashlights, but it's a really good price and it is s red... Must resist
Just my 2cents, I replaced my pocket knife with a milwaukee box cutter. Razor blades are sharp as hell and easy to replace.
I have been using this EDC knife in my pocket for the past 2 years. I have a lot of $20 - $50 knives, and can compare accordingly.

My experience with it:
- the blade is locked into place, so it can't open accidentally in your pocket. The black button releases the blade
- you can't flip the blade open, it's too stiff for that. 2 hands required.
- the blade is held fairly solid when opened. I have used the blade to cut thick cardboard and no problems with it bending at the pivot.
- the plastic grip feels good in my hand, but it's a little bulky in your pocket
- the wire pocket clip works well
- we don't know what metal the blade is, but it has remained fairly sharp after lots of cardboard and electrical cable cutting over 2 years. If I had to guess, it might be a Chinese Cr type of metal. Probably not AUS-8 or 420HC as my other knives with that metal maintain the edge better
- overall, it's taken abuse fairly well
- Home Depot sells this for $15 usually, so $10 is a good deal

Too bad the press and flip function does not work, so much for one handed operation.

I know this is a knife that people like, but I sure wish they would give some indication as to what steel is used in the blade. When it just "stainless steel" that is always a red flag for me.

With a msrp of $18 you're lucky to get metal at all

There are reviews on youtube showing it does not flip open.

"Milwaukee Fastback Flip Pocket Knife Review" is the title.

Thought it was just my poor luck, but the 2 bought before were terrible opening up.
Returned them. Was disappointed because I love the razor fastbacks

I have used both this and the fastback utility knife for a few years.

At first I thought mine was busted, but it just has a different opening action with some resistance.

The button does NOT release the blade to swing freely the way the utility knife does, so you have to hold it somewhat firmly and give it a nice flick to get it open and past the liner lock.

Definitely don't expect the spring action you get with most assisted-open knives like a kershaw.
