Klein Tools has launched a new utility knife, model 44309, featuring a pry bar at the front.
This must be the trend these days – I’ve seen a few pry bar utility knives recently, with Klein only being the latest.

The new Klein utility knife looks a lot like their other FlickBlade models, featuring a button lock, lanyard loop, and 2 locking positions for the blade angle.

The front of the utility knife also has a padded nub, which allows the prying end to apply more leverage.
Klein says that the new utility knife:
effectively handles cutting drywall, opening packages, removing nails, and prying open paint cans.
You can’t use the knife and pry bar at the same time, which makes sense from a safety perspective.
Price: $20

Big question – do you prefer Klein’s approach, or Milwaukee’s? See Milwaukee is Launching a New EDC Utility Knife.

Prybar is way more useful than a bottle opener. I keep saying I’m going to grind off the one on my fastback but haven’t gotten around to it.

Finally! I loved the Toughbuilt version (which this seems inspired by) but the clip design was very flimsy and I believe they have been discontinued. This is much better to use than the Milwaukee/Gerber slide types
