SHOP CASE KNIVESThe OKNIFE U1 Ultra Folding Utility Knife in Olive Green is engineered for precision, reliability, and everyday versatility. Building on the proven strengths of its predecessor, the U1 Utility Knife, the U1 Ultra delivers smooth and stable blade deployment, a screw-secured blade system for consistent performance, and an impressive 85% blade utilization rate that maximizes cutting efficiency while minimizing waste. Designed with universal accessibility in mind, it offers three intuitive opening methods: a quick-release fin for rapid one-handed deployment, a thumb stud for controlled single-hand operation, and a button lock for secure and instant access. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned user, this folding utility knife is immediately familiar and easy to master.
The handle is crafted from OAL™ super aluminum, a high-performance alloy engineered to rival the strength and resilience of TC4 titanium. Through an advanced oxidation process, the handle develops an ultra-hard, thick oxide layer, offering exceptional wear resistance and maintaining vibrant, lasting color and texture. Paired with a stainless steel frame finished in sleek black titanium plating, the handle provides a premium tactile feel and a balanced weight, ensuring comfort and control during extended use. Its olive green finish combines rugged durability with refined visual appeal, making the U1 Ultra as stylish as it is functional.
At the heart of the U1 Ultra is its innovative zirconium oxide ceramic blade, crafted for precision and endurance. Rated at 1200HV+, the blade retains its sharp edge up to ten times longer than conventional stainless steel, making it ideal for detailed cutting, piercing, and slicing tasks. The standard trapezoidal blade features an 11°–18° edge angle for razor-sharp performance, while its flat brushing polish reduces friction, limits residue buildup, and adds a subtle, professional texture. Corrosion-resistant, non-conductive, and stain-resistant, the blade performs reliably in a wide range of applications, from everyday tasks to specialized cutting jobs.
The U1 Ultra also includes a stainless steel clip with titanium coating positioned for right-side carry, offering convenient portability without compromising accessibility. With an overall length of 5.74 inches, a closed length of 3.38 inches, and a net weight of just 2.26 ounces, this knife delivers superior functionality in a compact, lightweight package. Every aspect of its design—from handle to blade—is engineered for long-lasting durability, effortless handling, and unmatched utility.
The U1 Ultra Folding Utility Knife combines a sharp zirconium oxide ceramic blade with an olive green OAL aluminum handle for rugged, reliable performance. Lightweight, durable, and ultra-sharp—the OKNIFE U1 Ultra is available SMKW.
