Our Boker Summer Release coverage continues with something a little bit different this time, the Cutweazle. This is another modernized, knife enthusiast-friendly take on the replaceable blade utilty knife, in a super slim, pocketable form factor.
Even in a knife market that has progressed leaps and bounds in terms of design and materials, the humble utility knife has managed to remain relevant. In the enthusiast sector, that’s due in part to makers taking the concept and spicing it up in all sorts of ways.
That’s certainly the case with the Cutweazle, which comes to us from designer Ben Logan of Turnback Knife Co.; it appears to be heavily based on the Turnback TBK-V2M, and like that piece, at the heart of the Cutweazle cutting experience is the replaceable razor blade we’ve all (non-enthusiasts included!) encountered in our lives. It’s sharp, it’s capable, and because it can be swapped out it’s not a blade even the most high-strung collector should worry about using and abusing. When the edge is worn out or broke, it’s simply popped out and replaced, with no fuss, drama, or sharpening equipment necessary.
I will obviously be adding this one to my upcoming utility knife article.
