“
I genuinely believe it might be the best utility knife ever made.
”
– John Gruber

Compact

Disappears in your pocket.

Keen is deceptively thin and small, and the rounded edges and curved end make it feel great in the hand, no matter your hand size. This is a tool that anyone should feel comfortable using, and yet it can easily fit into the coin pocket in a pair of jeans.

Durable

Built to last a lifetime.

Keen is made of custom machined stainless steel, so it is incredibly durable and has a great weight to it. It's coated in Cerakote, a super durable ceramic coating. With an easily replaceable blade, this thing is heirloom quality and will last a lifetime.

Retractable

A super satisfying deployment.

Keen is a delight to use every time you pick it up. The blade is spring loaded, and deployed with a slider on the side. The slider is held with your thumb when cutting, then the blade sucks back in when released, making it safer than traditional utility knives. An internal magnet helps secure the blade when closed, and adds a satisfying snap to the deployment.

Aesthetic

The utility knife, simplified.

Keen's simple, harmonious geometry makes it a wonderful desk companion as well, when you're not bringing it with you for everyday carry. Keen is free of any logos or excessive ornamentation, allowing the minimalist form to shine.

Thoughtful Details

Keen is full of them.

An internal magnet allows you to attach Keen to any magnetic surface (keep in on the fridge!). The back door is held on magnetically, allowing you to change or flip the blade without a tool. Keen is also ambidextrous, allowing you to use it with your right or left hand.

Can it get better than this?

I got the keen about a month ago. It is so good, i always reach out to use it instead of scissors or knives.
I don’t see how it get better than how it is, it’s the ultimate cutter imo

Magnets!

There’s no tool that can’t be made better, and more fun, by the thoughtful addition of magnets.
