Cheers. My dad's raves about his Milwaukee knife. I've got about 6 Stanley knives of various brands and vintages, set up for woodworking, carpets, wallpaper etc..
I'll give the sample of flooring we have a go with knives and see how it goes. If not it's shopping for a tracksaw or mitre saw because #buyer

Good knife, stack of fresh blades, maybe the carpet shape semi hook type for vinyl tiles. Big of sheet wood to cut into, good straight edge I guess.
Last year bought a 'milwaukee' folding knife. Was dubious to its quality as often tool brands hand off the basic hand tool type stuff to junk companies. Nope. This small folding knife is my go to for just about everything now. Its a mk1 or mk2 version, they are now on mk3. After a year of constant use, a lot of drops a lot of being stood on, there is zero play in it, it accidentally drops the blade out ZERO times unlike both my previous higher tier stanley items (one fixed, one retractable, the £20 retractable Stanley I have stabbed and sliced myself with so many times I chucked it in the metal recycling as its a danger that thing).
Milwaukee one handle isn't massive, but has a finger cut out in exactly the right spot for some force and for precision work, would recommend. Doesn't store blades though, newer mk3 does I think.
