Editors’ Review
RAR File Open Knife - Free Opener is a basic RAR utility that lets users open RAR files quickly and easily. Much like ZIP files, RAR files are a type of compressed archive file that allows users to transmit large amounts of data in a more compact format. Also like ZIP files, RAR files need special software to be opened.
- Fast and Efficient: Quickly opens and extracts RAR files to save you time.
- Easy to Use: The interface is clear and simple, making it user-friendly for everyone.
- Handles Password-Protected Files: It can open files secured with passwords, which is useful for protected documents.
- Customizable Settings: You can choose where to save the extracted files and decide if you want to make a new folder for each archive.
After you install RAR File Open Knife, it becomes the default program for opening RAR files. You can start this program by double-clicking on a RAR file. You can also use the right-click menu to select the "Extract!" command or drag a file to the program's window.
The program also supports encrypted files. You can set a default password or a list of passwords to use when opening files. You can choose to save the extracted files in a specific folder. You can also decide if you want a new folder for each archive and if it should open the folder after extraction.
The program's interface is basic and a little goofy, featuring a large image of a knife with an ornately carved handle. To un-RAR a file, users simply drag and drop the file onto the program's interface, right-click the file to access RAR File Open Knife from the context menu, or double-click the file to start RAR File Open Knife automatically. The program worked just fine, quickly unpacking everything we threw at it. The built-in Help file is quite lengthy and is really just an unorganized FAQ, although it does provide plenty of information about RAR File Open Knife and RAR files in general. There's even a link to a video tutorial. Our only real complaint about the program was that it's being used as an advertising vehicle for its creator's other projects; three tabs in the interface labeled Gifts, Thanks, and Appreciation contain links to screensavers, e-books, and wallpaper. Although all of this is free, it takes up more space in the program's interface than the program's actual features do. A less cluttered and more professional interface would be an improvement.
Bottom Line
RAR File Open Knife installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.
