The Great Knife Conundrum
Now, I know what you're thinking. "A knife? How hard can it be to open?" Well, my friend, if you've ever tried to wrestle a particularly stubborn Milwaukee utility knife into submission, you know that it's more like taming a wild stallion than opening a butter knife.

Step-by-Step Guide (or, "How to Avoid a Paper Cut Apocalypse")
- Locate the Blade: This might seem obvious, but trust me, there are people who've spent hours searching for the blade on a pen.
- Identify the Locking Mechanism: Milwaukee knives are known for their safety features, which is great, unless you're in a rush and can't figure out how to unlock the damn thing. Look for a small button or lever.
- Engage the Lock: Once you've found the lock, press or slide it to release the blade. Warning: Do not attempt to use your teeth as a lever. It's not as cool as it sounds.
- Extend the Blade: With the lock disengaged, gently pull the blade out. Remember, it's sharp. Treat it with respect. Or at least pretend to.
- Test the Waters: Before you go full-on Rambo, do a quick test cut on something unimportant. Like an old newspaper. Or your ex's photo. Just kidding. Don't do that.
Tips for Knife Newbies (or the Slightly Clueless)
- Watch a Video: There's probably a YouTube tutorial for everything, including opening a utility knife. And if there isn't, you should probably start a channel.
- Practice Makes Perfect: The more you use your knife, the better you'll get at handling it. Just don't use your fingers as practice material.
- Safety First: Always cut away from yourself and your loved ones. And by loved ones, we mean your pets, plants, and that really nice couch.
How to Avoid a Knife-Related Meltdown
- How to change a blade without losing a finger? Use the blade change tool that usually comes with the knife. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, use a pair of pliers. Just kidding. Don't do that either.
- How to store your knife safely? Keep it out of reach of children and pets. And drunk uncles.
- How to clean a rusty knife? Don't let it get rusty. But if it does, soak it in vinegar and then scrub it with a steel wool pad.
- How to prevent the blade from retracting accidentally? Make sure the locking mechanism is engaged. And maybe invest in a knife with a blade lock.
- How to impress your friends with your knife skills? Learn some cool knife tricks. Or just tell them you're a secret agent.
So there you have it! You're now officially a Milwaukee utility knife expert (or at least less clueless). Happy cutting!
