Klein Tools 44201 Electrician's Pocket Knife

Very good EDC pocket knife. The handle, hinge and lock are all stout, well made and ergonomic. As for the blade, 440A steel is a common choice for low cost knives. It's cheap, easy to sharpen and has excellent corrosion resistance.The knife feels heavy and well made.At this price, it offers excellent value. Knowing that you can replace it for a mere $20 is great.Cons: Again, at this price, concessions must be made and expected.440A steel is not very tough and will need to be resharpened often.Some may find the heft and length a bit uncomfortable for EDC.I hesitate to call this a "beater" knife, because it is only the budget blade steel that makes the low price tag possible. The rest of the tool is well made. In fact, if the blade was S35VN or CTS XHP, this would likely be a $100+ knife, and therefore probably too expensive to be a practical EDC.

For 20 bucks (at time of review) this knife puts in the work. Keeps an edge relatively well for being so cheaply priced, and has solid construction for a folding pocket knife. The wire strippers on the blade don't do me much help because I work primarily with 22-24 gauge, but this knife will cut through Cat 5 and Cat 6 like it's nothing. (Although it will dull your blade much faster, cutting through copper.) I carry this knife to strip cat 5 sheathing and for general purpose, great for boxes and plastic shipping material as well. Definitely a solid knife and a good buy. Klein tools didn't disappoint!

My husband loved it! Lost the first one that last about a year then lost (still worked great before losing it). Ended up repurchasing.

Great knife. This a well made knife as you would expect from anything with the Klein name on it. At the price point I don't worry about abusing it when I need to and it is easy to sharpen again and again. When I leave the house it gets loaded along with keys, wallet, phone, and knife.

solid, great knife for everyday hard use....the only reason for the 4 starts is that the grip is very, very slick and will slip with sweating hands.....i have to find a way to add some groves to the handle to prevent this. At the price is not worth returning, it is a great value for the price. I plan on taking a hacksaw and carefully adding diagonal superficial groves to it.

Klein really knocked it out of the park with this one. I was a little skeptical when I saw the price but I looked up the steel that this knife is made of and its pretty sturdy, it’ll hold its edge for a good while. Came sharp and has quickly become my daily driver for work over my Gerber that cost more.

Great knife use it everyday.

I have had my knife like this for years. I finally found it on amazon and bought two more just to have for backup. It has a strong blade and is very durable
