The Oknife U1 Stars & Stripes is a compact folding utility knife built around a replaceable 2.23" SK5 utility blade — the practical answer to an EDC pocket knife you never want to sharpen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Oknife U1 Stars & Stripes and the U1 Pro?
The Oknife U1 Stars & Stripes is the standard model — a folding utility knife with a replaceable blade and no screwdriver. The U1 Pro adds an integrated folding screwdriver with a magnetic bit driver and is longer at 3.7" closed versus 3.3" for this model. Both share the same 2.23" replaceable SK5 blade and rail lock. If you want the screwdriver, choose the U1 Pro; if you want the slimmer, lighter cutter, the Oknife U1 Stars & Stripes is the one.
What blades fit the Oknife U1 Stars & Stripes?
The Oknife U1 Stars & Stripes accepts most standard replaceable utility blades available on the market, so you are not tied to proprietary refills. Ceramic utility blades are a popular upgrade.
How do you change the blade on the Oknife U1 Stars & Stripes?
Because the Oknife U1 Stars & Stripes uses a standard replaceable utility blade, you never sharpen it — you release the rail lock, slide the worn blade out and drop a fresh one in. That is the core advantage of a replaceable blade utility knife over a conventional folder.
How does the lock work on the Oknife U1 Stars & Stripes?

Closed, the Oknife U1 Stars & Stripes measures 3.3" long and 1.18" wide and weighs 2.3 oz, which puts it firmly in pocketable EDC territory. Overall length open is 5.53".
