MILWAUKEE, WI- When Milwaukee Tool introduced the first FASTBACK™ Knife, cutting was redefined on the jobsite. Now, the company is expanding their leadership in cutting solutions once again by introducing a new FASTBACK™ 6in1 Folding Utility Knife, a Compact Side Slide Utility Knife, and a Compact Folding Knife.

FASTBACK™ 6in1 Folding Utility Knife

The FASTBACK™ 6in1 Folding Utility Knife has a wire stripper, folding screwdriver, fold-out 1/4″ bit holder, and a reversible Phillips #2 and slotted 1/4″ bit; as well as a built-in bottle opener. For ease of use, the knife features a press and flip mechanism for one-handed opening and quick-change for easy tool free blade changes. This multi-functional knife has a durable wire belt clip that reduces pocket tearing. The blade holder features a metal extension to prevent accidental blade removal and is designed for scoring. It also features a tether-ready lanyard hole.

Compact Side Slide Utility Knife

Optimized to reduce accidental blade activation and retraction, the Milwaukee® Compact Side Slide Utility Knife features a slide button, giving users maximum control in a new compact size for pocketed carry. The Compact Side Slide Utility Knife has an all- metal body, features tool-free blade changes, a durable wire belt clip, and a tether-ready lanyard hole.

Compact Folding Knife

The Compact Folding Pocket Knife blade is under 2.5” in length and the handle is under 4”, allowing users to easily transport and store the knife in their pockets. It’s also equipped with a stainless-steel drop point blade that stays sharp, a liner lock for secure and easy closure, a durable belt clip that reduces pocket tearing, and a tether-ready lanyard hole.

Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, these new knives confirm Milwaukee’s commitment to best-in-class durability and its relentless commitment to provide innovative solutions that will increase productivity.

    Thanks for the heads up, it does not appear that MKE has addressed the ability to move from right pocket carry to left pocket carry via the clip w/ this new pocket knife, do they?

    As of today, (10/13/20) your new Model 48-22-1505 (6 in 1) utility knife is NOT available anywhere inside of the northeastern United States; and, believe me, I have looked!
