We didn’t expect a humble box cutter to spark so much discussion in our shop, but the OKNIFE Otacle U1 kept earning its pocket time. The green micarta scales give it a warm, workwear feel—grippy without chewing up our hands—and it looks more like an EDC folder than a disposable-blade tool. What really won us over is the quick-change setup: swapping blades feels fast and deliberate, not fiddly, and the rail lock inspires confidence when we’re breaking down cartons or trimming material on the bench. The pocket clip rides securely, disappearing into jeans and shop aprons alike. It isn’t flashy, but it’s purpose-built—and that’s exactly why we started wondering: could this be our shop pick?
