The 48-22-1901 Fastback quick-release utility knife from Milwaukee is the type of tool that you can effectively use wherever you are, at any time of day. Whether you’re in construction, work outdoors, or just need a tool for slicing rope or tape in your day-to-day life, this is for you. Its robust, all metal design will hold up to drops from a variety of heights, not that dropping it is likely. An ergonomic handle conforms to most hands, making grip easy. On top of that, when it’s not in use you can keep it stored snugly on your belt or pants with the bolted-on wire clip. This thin metal will clasp firmly to whatever thin fabrics are on your person without damaging them. Speaking of wires, there are a couple handy functions that this knife can perform thanks to some unique design features. For one, the back of the handle can act as a gut hook. When the knife is closed, you can loop string, twine, or wire through the knife to make quick cuts. When the knife is open, there is a notch near the base of the blade release system that allows you to strip up to 10 gauge wire. When doing electrical work, packing, moving, construction, renovation, or any other general contracting, having this handy blade from Milwaukee is a must.
