Meet the New Kleinย Pocket Knives and Utility Knives
Tough new designs and features specifically for the electrician are what the new line of knives from Klein isย all about. The Klein Pocket Knives include 5 models, all equipped withย 440A stainless steel blades, dual thumb studs for one-handed opening, and a pocket clip. The expansion also includes aย wide range of utility knives includingย two new designs and three existing knives with improved features.
Pricing isnโt available yet since the Klein Pocket Knives and Utility Knives havenโt hit store shelves yet. We expect the knives to be in the $30 range and the utility knives to be around the same range of current models. Like everything weโve seen from Klein, these new cutting tools are designed around the needs of the professional tradesman.
โA knife is one of the more versatile tools in an electricianโs tool belt or bag. We designed these knives knowing they would have to be durable and multi-functional.โ
