There’s a lot to like about Milwaukee’s new lock-blade pocket knife. It has a nice clip to keep it in your pocket or on your belt, the mechanism is really smooth, and it came from the factory very sharp. With a plastic handle and a sturdy blade, this knife is worth a look if you need a new pocket knife.

This (Milwaukee pocket knife) and the video I watched just before it (Keen safety boots) left me with questions about the products that could and should have been addressed in the videos. For the pocket knife - is the spring clip easily removeable? The handle is plastic - what type of plastic? Is the blade carbon or stainless?
For the boots - what do they weigh? Are they available with any other protective toe besides steel - Kevlar, aluminum?
My point is that these tool talk videos should be critical reviews of the products, not free advertising.
You're right. I'll do a better job in future installments.
I purchased this a while back and will say without a doubt this is one shape knife. I forget exactly was I was doing with it brand new out of the package but I cut myself deeper than I have ever in the past and without know it. I had to finish the job I started but I have been most respectfully of this fine low cost tool. If you slip with this knife you will cut yourself very deep....excellent tool for the money. JC
The sharper the knife the better the wound heals.
