Nitecore NTK05 Titanium Folding Scalpel Everyday Knife and a Sticker

Have this on my key ring. Super sharp and always close by

It's exactly what it looks like.An extremely light weight way to put a scalpel blade on your keychain. I use mine to open packages and do those little things that always seem to go easier with something sharp and haven't had a problem with it.It's not especially heavily built, so don't expect it to hold up to anything strenuous. But as long as you are reasonable it should last forever. As a bonus replacement blades are dirt cheap and easy to find, 100 of them should cost less than $10.The flashlight is bright but not why I bought this.$30 seems a bit steep, but I also haven't seen something like this much cheaper either. 🤷

Well, to put it as simply as possible, it's razor blade sharp because it's a scalpel blade. It is mounted in a nice tiny mount that fits nicely on your key chain. It definitely needs to be treated with care, maximum sharps type of care.Put it on a nice secure key chain, you don't want to loose this little gem. It takes a standard #11 scalpel blade, so they are ez to replace.

Close to being good, but suffers a few fundamental issues:- There is not enough space between the pivot and the scalpel blade, so a blade's rearmost corner will NOT clear the pivot during installation. You'll need a needlenose pliers or similar tool to force the corner of the blade past the pivot during removal/installation.- Does NOT work with #10 scalpel blades (arguably the more useful blade shape). They can be attached, but you cannot close the handle without the edge hitting the inside of the handle. They could have made this work just fine with some very minor design changes, but alas that's not what we get.

Kinda felt like I ordered sea monkeys from the back of a catalog. It feels cheap due to the lightness, but time will tell if it's actually useful and durable. I wouldn't have paid over $10 if I had demo'd it. The possibly saving grace of this is that it is that I'm not a usual knife carrier and having something light enough on my keys could make it useful when I need it. If it survives 5+ years on my keychain I'll reconsider the value.Edit: 6 months of use, still on my keychain. Gotta say I've pulled it out for uses I didn't expect. It's become a fidget spinner of sorts.Edit: 2 years, still on my keychain. Not always the best tool, but the tool you have on you item.

I love this little knife, in fact so much that this is the second one I bought as a gift for a friend. The machining is beautifully done, and it weighs like a feather. It's also discreet, can't really tell what it is.

I do not think that I would be willing to carry this in my pocket. - while it closes completely, I think it opens far too easily to trust it in my pocket. This is definitely more along the lines of a 'blade holder' and NOT a scalpel and NOT a 'knife' . . I bought intending to use it in hobby capacity as a 'folding scalpel to replace exacto knives' and I do not think that it will be useful in that manner. It is made of solid titanium and clearly very high quality. The material is fantastic, the milling is excellent, It is meant to allow you to use the scalpel blades safely for opening boxes and other very light duty tasks, and will probably work well in that capacity. It is NOT a box cutter - I would not feel safe actually using it to cut through the cardboard, it could easily turn in your hand.

This is my second purchase. I liked it so much I bought one for a friend in CA. It has two features that make it extremely useful. 1. Small size, fits on keychain. 2. Sharp. I Used to carry a Ken Onion Leek as my EDC and still carried it for a while in addition to the Nitecore. Not any more. 90% of the time, the Nitecore is what I use. The LED light isn’t that great, but it was a bonus item. I bought an additional 100 blades so I should be good for a while. I suggest watching a YouTube video on blade replacement. It’s not difficult, but it is very sharp and takes a few replacements to get it down.
