CHICAGO, IL
– October 2003 – Klein Tools has added six lightweight
lockback pocket knives to its line of professional hand tools.
The new knives — four with drop-point blades and two with
sheepfoot blades — expand the company’s offering of
pocket knives and knife sharpening tools.
All of the Klein® lockback knives feature blades made of the
finest AUS8 stainless steel, hardened to 58-59 Rc. The premium-quality
blades offer superior edge holding, and all lock in the open position.
Drop point knives are available in four blade lengths: 2-1/4"(Cat.
No. 44000), 2-1/2" (Cat. No. 44001), 2-3/8" (Cat. No.
44002) and 2-3/4" (Cat. No. 44003). The sheepfoot knives
are offered with blade lengths of 2-3/8" (Cat. No. 44004)
and 2-5/8" (Cat. No. 44005) .
The 2-1/4" and 2-1/2" drop point knives feature a brushed
aluminum handle that is slim, stylish and comfortable. The 2-1/2"
knife also includes a stainless steel pocket/belt clip for easy
access. The 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" drop-point knives and
the two sheepfoot knives have an impact-resistant nylon-resin
handle with rubber insert. A reversible thumb stud on all of the
handles allows easy, one-handed opening.
The dimensions and weights of the new lockback knives are as follows:
