Review: This is what a true electrician uses to strip wires - Klein makes the best electrician tools for professional
Review: Terrible Replacement! - I used one of these as an electrician every day, it was given to me when I started my apprentice ship and it finally met its demise. This knife is made in China, the blade isn’t even marked like the one I’m replacing. This knife uses horrible fitted together pieces and such thin brass where there used to be much more and no brass locking tab for the driver blade, rough edges everywhere, and it’s stainless! Absolute garbage. The decline in Klein is unbelievable! If I could buy it somewhere else I would!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this made in the USA?**
A: All I can tell you is that inscribed on the knife blade is the following - KK under which is Klein tools then under that is Chicago, USA.  I looked but I don't see made in China anywhere on it.

**Q: What is the  purpose of the semi circular cutout on the top of the screwdriver blade?**
A: It is a cutout so that you can access the nail nick in the main blade. Without the cutout the screwdriver blade blocks opening the main blade. You must also be careful when using the screwdriver blade it is possible to torque the blade enough to overcome the blade lock and cause the blade to close on your fingers. Especially important if you sharpen the center portion of the screwdriver blade. Got a scar from this with a similar knife while in the navy back in the 70's.

**Q: Do they still make this knife with a solid wood handle**
A: The Military Issue never had a wood handle, and it had a carbon Blade, Military Issue was Camillus Brand USA.
I served 30 years in Naval Aviation and carried the Issued one for over 20 years and about 10 years of civilian life, KK is also a good brand I have had them also. I doubt you ever find a working pocket knife chrome vanadium, generally stainless or Carbon Blade. I have home made some Vanadium Knifes while at sea, I assure you  would cost more than 20 bucks, As for wood handles Never saw on, All TL 29 and most other  knives for survival and or Linemen work had Bakelite,  Combat usually Leather,

**Q: Do go the blades lock, and are the blades chrome vanadium?**
A: the screwdriver blade locks the others do not.  I have no idea on the chrome vanadium.  They do not rust and stay shaRP

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is what a true electrician uses to strip wires

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrible Replacement!
*by J***N on March 8, 2023*

I used one of these as an electrician every day, it was given to me when I started my apprentice ship and it finally met its demise. This knife is made in China, the blade isn’t even marked like the one I’m replacing. This knife uses horrible fitted together pieces and such thin brass where there used to be much more and no brass locking tab for the driver blade, rough edges everywhere, and it’s stainless! Absolute garbage. The decline in Klein is unbelievable! If I could buy it somewhere else I would!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ USA Made - Sharp as a Swiss Army Knife with a thicker blade!
*by A***R on August 7, 2023*

This knife was a complete and utter surprise to me, and in a good way. For roughly $18 you will receive a two bladed carbon steel knife that is as sharp as a Swiss Army knife with a heavier duty blade. It's oily out of the package and for good reason, it's carbon steel. Some people may frown on the scales of the knife, but this is a SOLID work knife. Klein Tools continually surprise me with the level of quality products they produce.
