BQ S1 | A Minimalist Gravity-Slide Utility Knife

Written by

Gravity Slide Deployment • Replaceable Blades • CNC-Machined Body • Premium Everyday Utility
Check on Kickstarter

It’s the cutter you reach for when you want something that feels Cool to use — not something you want to hide in a drawer.

S1 doesn’t look like a $1 utility knife. Because it isn’t one.

S1 was created with a simple intention:
A tool that looks clean, feels natural, and works flawlessly.

No aggressive “tactical” aesthetics. No gimmicks. Just a beautifully efficient cutting tool designed for daily use.

Lefty Friendly

Every line, angle, and surface exists for a reason—to enhance control, comfort, safety, and precision.

The S1 uses a clean, gravity-assisted slide mechanism engineered for smooth, intuitive action. Simply swipe your thumb sideways, the plates pivot, and the blade glides out naturally—then locks securely into place.

This creates a deployment motion and sound that feels instinctive, precise, and deeply satisfying.

The S1’s metal body is machined with tight tolerances, creating:

  • Sharp, clean exterior lines
  • Smooth chamfered edges
  • Crisp blade guides for stability
  • Defined grip texture on the side 
  • A bright red safety lock with tactile feedback

Every detail is intentional—every detail elevates usability.

S1 turns common tasks into clean, precise, effortless actions.

With a compact body, lightweight build, and a reinforced lanyard hole, S1 is easy to carry.

S1 uses standard utility blades you can find anywhere.
No proprietary refills.
No special tools needed.

Material: Metal Body (Aluminum / Titanium)

Blade Type: Standard Utility Blade

Length: 80 mm
