Our take on the Kings County Tools 7in Brass Folding Utility Knife

This is a Higonokami-style friction folder: a 3-inch laminated high-carbon steel tanto blade in a solid brass handle, 7 inches open and about 4 inches folded. It has no lock and no spring, just a lever tang you press with your thumb, so it opens and closes with one hand and stays simple. At $24.97 at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range across the 6 stores that carry it new.

Pros
  • Laminated high-carbon steel takes a very sharp edge
  • Springless friction mechanism has almost nothing to break
  • Solid brass handle develops a patina and feels substantial
  • Compact: 4 inches folded, 0.5 lbs
  • Simple one-hand opening via the lever tang
Cons
  • No lock: the blade is held only by thumb pressure
  • High-carbon steel rusts without oil and care
  • Brass is soft and scratches with use
  • Tanto tip is less handy for fine slicing than a drop point
  • Not a replacement for a locking utility knife on hard jobs

Questions and answers

Is this knife legal to carry?
It has no lock, which helps in places that restrict locking knives, but laws vary by state and city. Check your local rules before carrying it in public.
Does the blade lock open?
No. It is a friction folder held open by thumb pressure on the lever tang. Use it for light cutting and keep fingers clear of the blade path.
How do I keep the blade from rusting?
The laminated high-carbon steel is not stainless. Wipe it dry after use and put a thin coat of oil on the blade, especially if you live somewhere humid.
How does it compare with a standard utility knife?
It is smaller and more pocketable and takes a keener edge, but it has no lock and no replaceable blades. A box cutter is the better tool for heavy or dirty work.
What is in the box?
The knife itself. It ships folded, with no sheath or sharpening stone included, so plan on a pouch or pocket slip.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price was $24.97 at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026. Watch for holiday and tool-department sales, when brass-handled knives often dip.
Where is the Kings County Tools 7in Brass Folding Utility Knife cheapest?
