Klein Tools 44301 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Klein 44301 take standard utility blades?
It uses standard utility blades, triple ground, with 1 inch of exposed blade length. That means you can restock it from any common utility blade pack rather than hunting a proprietary refill.
2) Can I use this knife on live electrical circuits?
No. Klein's own warning for the 44301 is explicit: never use it on or near live circuits. It is a plain steel-bladed utility knife with an aluminum body, not an insulated tool. De-energize first, and wear approved eye protection when cutting.
3) Is this a folding knife or a slide-out blade knife?
Slide out, not folding. The blade extends and retracts on a slider with three different stop positions, so you can set a short blade for scoring Romex jacket or drywall paper and a longer one for cutting cardboard or insulation. Closed it measures 6.5 inches, 7 inches overall with the blade out.
4) How heavy is the Klein 44301, and will it sit in a pouch or pocket all day?
The body is aluminum and the knife weighs 0.23 lbs, so it is light for a metal-bodied knife. Footprint is 6.5 inches closed by about 1 inch wide and 1.6 inches tall, which drops into a tool pouch slot or a pocket without bulk. There is also a tether hole at the back of the handle for lanyard use on lifts, ladders, or elevated work.
5) We lose knives constantly on our crews. Is this one easier to keep track of?
That is the reasoning behind the color. The handle is orange and black, chosen so it stands out on a jobsite floor, in an attic, or in the bottom of a gang box rather than disappearing like a black-handled knife. The tether hole at the rear of the handle lets you clip it to a pouch or lanyard, which is the other half of the fix for a crew that keeps setting tools down.
6) What is the exact part number to order the Klein slide out utility knife, and where is it made?
Order Klein Tools model 44301. That is the manufacturer part number as well, and it is the only configuration offered. Country of origin is China.
