Product Description
Milwaukee Lockback Pocket Knife
Model Number: 48-22-1940
The Milwaukee 48-22-1940 is a Lockback Pocket Knife — a professional-grade folding knife built for the daily cutting demands of electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, carpenters, and general contractors who need a reliable, durable, and sharp pocket knife as an everyday carry tool on the jobsite. Milwaukee engineers the Lockback Pocket Knife with a stainless steel blade that provides the corrosion resistance needed for a tool used in wet, humid, and chemically active jobsite environments where carbon steel blades rust and degrade rapidly during regular outdoor and trade use. The lockback folding mechanism is the classic, proven folder design — when the blade is opened fully, a spring-loaded locking bar engages a notch in the blade's tang to lock the blade rigidly open in the use position, preventing the blade from folding unexpectedly during cutting and providing the blade stability needed for safe, controlled cutting force application without blade movement risk.
The locking mechanism releases by pressing the lockback lever on the spine of the handle, folding the blade safely back into the handle for carry. The stainless steel blade geometry is designed for the general-purpose cutting tasks that tradespeople perform daily — opening packaging, stripping wire insulation, cutting rope and cordage, scoring materials, cutting tape and housewrap, trimming materials, and the hundreds of small cutting operations that require a sharp, accessible knife throughout the workday. The handle construction provides a secure, comfortable grip for controlled cutting force application across the range of one-handed cutting tasks performed in field conditions without a stable work surface, including the overhead and awkward-position cuts common in trade work.
For daily trade carry, the Milwaukee Lockback Pocket Knife provides the combination of sharp stainless blade, reliable locking mechanism, and durable handle construction that holds up to the mechanical abuse and environmental exposure of active jobsite use as an everyday working tool.
