Review on πŸ”ͺ Enhance Performance with Klein Tools 44219 Replacement Hawkbill Blade Trio for 44218 by Adam Rogers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great knife for line work but watch out for the locking screw

This knife is very good. I use it for work on our utility lines that are both above ground and below ground. Just take the sheath off the braided line and trim the sheath very well Clean the distribution lines for each size we have. This knife works like a charm and I had no trouble cutting it and the blade is holding up well. My only criticism of this knife is the set screw for the spare blade. Every time I use a knife I have to tighten the set screw and the first time I forgot to check the screw I took my jacket off the line and the blade flew out of the knife and I couldn't find it . An easy fix to this problem is to just put some silicone on the screw and then tighten it and I haven't had any problems with it since. I would recommend this knife to linemen of all stripes.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • expensive
