The iFixit EU145323 utility knife features a solid aluminium handle and a razor-quality blade designed for precision cutting in repair and craft tasks. The compact, lightweight construction combines a durable metal body with an ergonomic profile that helps maintain a stable grip during detailed work. The product includes multiple blade profiles to support scraping, prying and cutting operations, and the design allows tool-free blade change for fast maintenance and continued use.

Multiple blade profiles provide versatility for a range of material types and edge tasks, and the easy blade replacement mechanism reduces downtime. The compact format makes storage and transport simple, and the precision-ground blades enable controlled cuts in sensitive repair work.

How to use

Hold the aluminium handle with a firm, comfortable grip and align the chosen blade profile with the work surface. Use short, controlled strokes for precision cutting and avoid excessive force; let the sharp blade do the work. When a blade becomes dull or a different profile is needed, follow the product's blade replacement procedure to change blades safely, ensuring the tip is pointed away from your body and using protective gloves if required. Store spare blades in a secure container when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when necessary, work on a stable cutting surface, and replace blades at the first sign of dulling. Use the appropriate blade profile for the task—fine blades for detailed cuts and wider or hooked profiles for scraping and prying—and keep the tool clean and dry to preserve the aluminium finish and blade condition.
