Here's a detailed overview of the Olight Oknife Otacle U1 Pro Route 66 Black OKNU1PRORI66 (also known as the OKNIFE U1 Pro "Route 66" Black Utility Knife).
This is a special-edition variant of Olight’s popular Otacle U1 Pro folding utility knife / multitool. The "Route 66" designation refers to the striking black with orange accents color scheme inspired by the classic American highway (matte black handle scales with bright orange hardware and accents). It combines a quick-change utility blade with a hidden folding screwdriver/bit driver in a compact, premium EDC package.
Key Features & Specs
- Blade: Standard replaceable utility blade (SK5 high-carbon steel or equivalent). Quick-change mechanism allows tool-less blade swaps in seconds. The exposed edge is ideal for cutting cardboard, tape, plastic, leather, rope, and other materials.
- Handle: Durable polymer or composite scales in a matte black finish with bright orange hardware and accents (Route 66 theme). The handle is ergonomically shaped for comfortable, secure grip during extended use.
- Multitool Feature: Integrated folding bit driver (includes a double-headed screwdriver bit or 4mm driver). The driver flips out smoothly and locks securely when needed.
- Lock: Reliable rail-lock or crossbar-style lock for the blade; secure button/lever lock for the screwdriver.
- Carry: Deep-carry pocket clip (reversible or tip-up orientation depending on exact configuration). Compact closed length (~3.5–3.7 inches) makes it highly pocketable.
- Dimensions & Weight: Closed length approximately 3.7 inches; lightweight design (~3.5 oz range).
- Additional: Tool-less blade change system. Compatible with most standard utility blades. Designed for daily tasks in the office, warehouse, home, or on the road.
The "Route 66" black-and-orange colorway gives the U1 Pro a bold, distinctive look while maintaining the same practical functionality as the standard PEEK or Micarta versions. Users praise the smooth blade deployment, secure lockup, quick blade changes, and the added convenience of the built-in screwdriver for quick fixes.
