EDC-Friendly Lightweight Utility Knife III
Print Profile(5)



Description
This is a redesigned version of a previous project. While retaining the same design style, all internal components have been completely redesigned.
Its external dimensions remain largely identical to the original design, but the thickness has been increased by 3.5 mm, significantly enhancing its strength.
It provides clear tactile click feedback during blade sliding.
Easy to print – no supports required.
Easy to assemble – no additional hardware, glue, or tools needed.
This project is designed based on the dimensions of Stanley-style blades, with a length of 62 mm. It can also accommodate slightly shorter blades.

Assembly Tutorial:
1.Show all components.

2.Interlock the two blade holder parts.

3.Insert one button into the blade holder. Pay attention to the orientation as shown in the image.

4.Insert one end of the other button into the holder, then rotate it so that the two buttons lock together.

5.Press the two protrusions on the top of the blade holder to open the gap in the middle, then insert the blade.


6.Place the blade holder into the right-side shell, ensuring it fits firmly against the rightmost position.

7.Join the left shell with the right shell. This is a two-step process – please refer to the diagram below.

If the shells are too difficult to join, you can follow the method shown in the image below.Note: Always ensure the blade faces downward to prevent accidental injury.

The strength of 3D-printed knives cannot be guaranteed and they are suitable only for light-duty tasks, such as cutting paper or opening Amazon packages. Unless otherwise specified, all of my knife designs are intended for light-duty use only.
