Product Description
Milwaukee 2.5 in. HARDLINE Smooth Blade Pocket Knife
Model Number: 48-22-1997
The Milwaukee 48-22-1997 is the 2.5 in. HARDLINE Smooth Blade Pocket Knife — a compact premium folding knife from Milwaukee's HARDLINE series for tradespeople who want exceptional edge retention and professional blade quality in the most pocket-friendly compact format. At 2.5 in., this is Milwaukee's shortest HARDLINE blade — sized for the lightest, least-intrusive daily carry without the blade length feeling short for the everyday utility cutting tasks tradespeople perform throughout the workday. Milwaukee's HARDLINE premium blade steel specification uses an advanced heat treatment that creates blade hardness superior to standard knife steel, providing edge retention that lasts significantly longer between sharpenings than conventional pocket knives in the same daily jobsite cutting use. For the tradesperson who carries a pocket knife daily and values a consistently sharp edge that works through the end of the workday without the dullness that standard blades develop by midday, the HARDLINE specification delivers the cutting performance the daily-carry knife demands.
The smooth blade profile cuts cleanly on the full range of utility materials tradespeople encounter daily — plastic conduit jackets, packaging tape, wire bundling, cable ties, rope, and the general-purpose cutting tasks that arise constantly in electrical, plumbing, and general construction work. The compact folding design stores the blade safely for pocket carry and allows one-hand opening for immediate deployment. At 2.5 in., the knife fits comfortably even in tighter work pants pockets and is available for quick access without the bulk of larger pocket knives. The HARDLINE build quality extends to the handle and pivot mechanism for the durability needed in a daily-carry jobsite tool.
Available in 3 in. and 3.5 in. blade lengths for greater cutting reach — see Milwaukee's complete HARDLINE knife lineup for all sizes and blade profiles.
