Milspin Magnus Utility Knife | Box Cutter | EDC Utility Blade | Utility Knives | Retractable Razor Blade | EDC | Veteran Made in the USA (Brass (2.0))

I love it because the brass, is hefty and the sounds it makes when deploying and retracting the blade. For others people may not be the same, here are things to consider: 1) the blade are proprietary, you cannot use regular blade unless they have the same cutouts as the blades that come in the pack, milspin blades are not expensive plus this comes with a couple of blades anyways. 2) brass is not lightweight so for y'all who are picky on weight, you will notice. 3) don't let it get wet for obviously it's brass though you can add a patena to make it tougher while looking great. 4) during use, Do Not resting your thumb on the mechanism or you will loosen the blade, its meant to be used with your thumb and other digits predominately resting on the sides, not the slide, use common sense. 4) it's not quick change though I don't care, I bought it because it looks cool while still being useful. For me I don't need gimping but also note it doesn't have gimping. If you really want more traction, you can easily modify by filing a couple of grooves near the top or put a small patch of skateboard take but for me I didn't see need as some of my fingers rest on the lanyard whole. I do have small hands so if you have big hands and you need more purchase to prevent slip and accident, definitely add a lanyard plus it'll look nice. I may add one with a brass bead anyway for cosmetics. 5) I'm naturally fidgety so i actually enjoy retracting the blade even when I'm not using it. It's not meant for fidgeting but the sound and the feel really got me. Those things put to note, they do not bother me at all and the quality is excellent. I also really like that they don't sacrifice comfort for the size making use very comfortable. I got this on a great deal for $16. Even if it's back to about 20 to $30 bucks, it's money we'll spent for the value. But if you see a discount which happens at times and you don't mind the weight, the value is well worth the money as not only nothing is broken or disfigured, I love that it's American made (even the blades and they're super sharp) and others can't beat quality from American businesses, especially products owned and made by vets. The only thing I pretty much will do is take it apart and clean it well as there is some dust from machining that leaves dust on my hands but I don't mind.

I’ve used this knife for almost a year at my job and it really is a high quality item. The slim compact design makes it so easy to keep in my back pocket and pull out to use at a moments notice when I only have one free hand available. I got some matching gold colored titanium blades just for the heck of it, and several coworkers have remarked how cool and stylish it looks (for whatever that’s worth). Changing the blade takes about a minute so if you go through blades quickly it might not be the best option, but that’s not an issue for me. If I ever lose this knife, I’ll certainly be buying another.

Very well built utility knife. I like the weight of the solid brass body of this knife. The milled texture on this make it easy to hold on to while using, opening and closing. This is a high quality pocket tool.

I appreciate made in USA and brass is a good choice for this. These Make excellent gifts

I've had this thing for a couple months now. This is a solid 5-star item. However, a star is removed because we the customer are required to make it 5-star. It will come to you 3, maybe 2, star. But it is fixable The spring that this knife comes with is too weak. I don't know how Milspin came to the conclusion that this was the right spring. The action feels sloppy, it opened in my pocket more than once. Bad razor behavior. If the spring in this thing wasn't replaceable, I would have long abandoned it I've attached a picture of the proper spring you're going to need to add. You need the one on the left, the thinner junkass one is on the right. Maybe you have one in your jar of springs, maybe you need to order from McMaster Carr. Closest equivilant (with cursory, non-exhaustive search) is mcmaster PN 9657K623. But Milspin should be buying these springs and at purchase, offering either both or as a "for $1 more, add this stiffer spring" if need be. As far as fidget-ability goes, this thing is in a class of its own. 10 stars on that front (with the proper spring. With the stock spring, it's kinda sloppy trash) The spring you want is 0.38 (3/8) in. long, has a wire diameter of 0.039 in., and has an ID of ~0.25 in. You need one for this to be a good buy. But with the spring change, it's a great buy EDIT: Dang I'll be back to give that fifth star soon enough. Daily now, for the months since I've had it (read: replaced the spring in it), I add points to it's howard-roark-like utilitarian usefullness best-tool-for-the-job factor. It's made "the best" with no bother about anything else. It's one of my favorite items to both cut with (first place in all utility blades) and also play with. (needs that spring tho. I have since bought a second one and I marvel at the softness of the OEM spring. It feels like broken)

This is perfect for painters. It is the perfect size allowing you to keep it in your palm when pulling plastic or rosin paper. You don’t need to put it away, if you spend many hours masking you’ll know how convenient it is. Also it feels great holding, perfect weight
