Milwaukee
Tool Corporation continues to expand its Hand Tool offering with three new
Fastback Knives, launching in November 2013. Expanding the utility knife line
to include pocket knives as well, the new additions to the Fastback family will
include a Fastback Hawk Bill Knife, Fastback Smooth Pocket Knife and Fastback
Spring Assisted Knife.

The
entire line of Fastback Knives feature one-handed blade opening for easy
activation. Similar to the original Fastback and Fastback II, the Hawk Bill and
Smooth Pocket Knife are designed to activate the blade three times faster than
a two-handed opening with a Press & Flip opening. The Spring Assisted Knife
delivers even faster activation by flipping open with the aid of a durable
spring.

Each
of the new knives feature a stainless steel blade with a sharp cutting edge
that the user can re-sharpen, and are all designed with specific needs and
preferences in mind. With a curved “Hawk” Blade, the Fastback Hawk Bill Knife
is ideal for pull cuts or slicing around the edge of cable to remove
insulation. With a sharp, pointed tip, The Fastback Smooth Pocket Knife is
designed for controlled piercing and smooth general purpose cutting. Lastly,
the Fastback Spring Assisted Knife features a black oxide coated blade for
ultimate durability and sharpness, and a serrated edge for tearing through
material like rope.

All
Fastback knives also feature a thin body design and a wire form clip for
comfortable pocket storage and quick access. After much demand, the belt clip
on the new knives will now be reversible for user preference and ultimate
storage versatility.

Backed
by a limited lifetime warranty, each of the new Fastback Knives confirm
Milwaukee’s commitment to best-in-class durability and its relentless
commitment to provide innovative solutions to the end user that will increase
productivity.
