Klein Tools 44131 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Klein 44131 folding utility knife take standard utility blades, or a proprietary blade?
Standard utility blades, the same ones you already stock for a fixed-handle knife. One blade ships with the knife. The blades are triple ground and carry a wire stripping notch, which is why it turns up in electricians' pouches rather than just as a box cutter.
2) What replacement blades fit the Klein 44131 utility knife?
Klein lists 44101 and 44103 as the replacement parts for the 44131. Since it runs standard utility blades, those are what to buy by the card rather than sourcing a special profile.
3) Can an electrician use the Klein 44131 on live circuits?
No. Klein's own warning on the 44131 is never to use it on or near live electrical circuits. It's an unin insulated aluminum-handled knife, not a 1000V insulated tool. De-energize first, and wear approved eye protection while cutting. If you need to work energized, that calls for a separately rated insulated tool, not this one.
4) How big is the Klein 44131 folded, and will it ride in a pouch or pocket?
Folded it's 4 inches (10.2 cm) and 6.25 inches (15.9 cm) open, with a body about 1 inch by 1 inch in section. It weighs 4.3 oz (122 g). That's a pouch or pocket carry rather than something that needs a slot on the belt, and the orange handle is there so it doesn't disappear in the bottom of a bag.
5) Is a folding utility knife like the Klein 44131 better than a fixed retractable utility knife for pulling wire and stripping jacket?
The trade-off is carry versus reach. The 44131 folds to 4 inches so it lives in a pouch, and the fold-out blade housing means no exposed edge against your hand or your bag. The blade notch handles jacket and sheath stripping, and the lockback holds the blade open under load. A fixed retractable body gives you a longer, stiffer handle for repeated carton or insulation cuts and a faster one-hand slide, but it takes more room and stays in the truck more often than in the pouch.
6) Will the Klein 44131 handle hold up in a work bag, or is it a light-duty knife?
Heavy duty construction with a sturdy aluminum handle, not a stamped sheet body. Rubber grips are moulded into the handle for control with gloves or wet hands. At 4.3 oz it has enough mass to feel like a tool rather than a giveaway box cutter.
7) Do I need to buy anything else to start using the Klein 44131?
Nothing. One blade comes installed, and it takes standard utility blades after that, so a card of 44101 or 44103 covers you for refills whenever you get to it.
8) What is the Klein part number for the orange folding utility knife, for standardizing across a crew?
Klein Tools 44131 is the number to spec, and it's a single-model item, so there are no finish or size options to get wrong on a repeat order. Every unit is the same orange aluminum-handled folding knife taking standard blades.
