Klein Tools 44006 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Klein 44006 hawkbill knife safe to use on live electrical circuits?
No. Klein's own warning on the 44006 is to never use it on or near live electrical circuits, and to wear approved eye protection when cutting. The anodized aluminum handle is conductive metal, not an insulating grip, so treat it strictly as a de-energized-work tool for stripping jacket, opening cable, and cutting rope or cord.
2) Can the Klein 44006 be opened one-handed while you're up a ladder?
Yes. The 44006 has a reversible thumb stud, so you can flick it open with one hand and set the stud for left or right hand use. It locks open with a lockback mechanism, which means the blade stays put under load and you have to press the spine release to close it.
3) Why a hawkbill blade instead of a straight-edge pocket knife for electrical work?
The hooked hawkbill profile on the 44006 pulls material into the curve as you draw it, which is what you want for scoring and stripping cable jacket, cutting insulation, and slicing rope or poly twine without the blade skating off. A straight drop-point is better for general whittling and push cuts; the hawkbill is a pulling blade. Cutting edge is 2-5/8 inches.
4) How big is the Klein 44006 knife in your pocket, and does it come with a clip?
It's small: 3.875 inches closed, 6.625 inches overall open, and 0.081 lbs. A removable pocket/belt clip is included, so it can ride clipped in a pocket or on a belt, or you can pull the clip off and drop it in a pouch.
5) Can I buy the Klein 44006 for crews working in any city?
Not without checking first. Klein flags that local law governs the sale, carrying, and possession of this knife, and locking folders with thumb-stud opening are restricted in some jurisdictions. For fleet or facility purchasing across multiple sites, verify the rules where each crew works before standardizing on it.
6) Will the 44006 hold up in a damp or outdoor service truck?
The blade is AUS 8 stainless steel and the handle is silver anodized aluminum, chosen for corrosion resistance. That combination handles truck-bed and jobsite humidity better than carbon steel with a coated handle, though stainless still benefits from being wiped dry after wet work.
7) What part number do I order for the Klein hawkbill lockback knife?
Order Klein Tools 44006. That is the manufacturer part number for the hawkbill lockback with the 2-5/8 inch AUS 8 stainless blade and slim silver aluminum handle, and it's sold as a single configuration with no finish or blade options to specify.
