FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS!!! OBVIOUSLY UTILITY KNIVES AREN'T DESIGNED FOR THIS. How does a cheap utility knife stack up to a modern EDC knife like the popular Swiss Army knife. Please tell me what you guys think about this new format where I don't talk. br Conclusion: br The utility knife performed better than expected but the straight edge proved inferior for food prep, slicing in particular. If you need an EDC in a pinch, a utility knife may be a better option than you would have thought. Keep in mind utility knives aren't designed for this and the blade could have easily broken when I was doing this.
