SOGKilowatt- Electricians Pocket Knife with Wire Stripping Multi-Tool and 3.4 Inch AUS-8 Blade, UTP 10-22G Wire Stripper Knife (EL01-CP), Black

Perfect knife for a technical person. I wear mine to work everyday where I am a technician. I also bought both my sons one whom are technicians too. We all use them in the field. Just sharpen it as soon as you get it. That will help you out. It has a pocket clip that makes for easy access. Great value for the money.

Great design! Very SHARP blade! Well engineered item. Will prove to be the best designed knife I have used as an Electricians Apprentice I am POSITIVE. Three other knives have shown flaws in design or edge retention and have been relegated to the tool box for other forms of slicing and cutting. AUS-8 steel (57-58 hardness) should hold a decent edge for quite some time, and be fairly easy to resharpen when required. Balance is good, and strippers and cutters everywhere makes it a practical tool of this trade. The blade sharpness will remove the hair from your arm easily. That is sharp enough for my needs!Two improvements to this desing would be a spring assist opening set-up, and the pocket clip has sharp pointed edges that catch on material and skin to the point of it being troublesome. Still I would recommend it to anyone needing a good, sharp, lightweight middle sized pocket clip knife!Get one today, for as we know good products are too often relegated to the trash bin so as to draw buyers due the "new and improved" notifications we in America are gullible to.I expect a long life and good service from this great little $40.00 investment!

As a FYI - I am PICKY about giving 5 stars!This is my first knife from S.O.G and and i am very happy with the buy!When ordering it I first was suspicious of the plastic handles,(I recently bought a black Victorinox Swiss Army Knife and was not happy with the scratched covers)but once I had it in my hands it proofed to be no concern at all.They are matte black with micro-structure - just as i hoped it would be :)On a weekly basis I am frequently using the knife and the extra wire stripping features,so far I have to say that the blades are holding up very well and stripping is no problem.The build is very sturdy and robust. All visible screws are T6-Torx and serviceable.The 3x screws used to tighten the rotary points (of the blade, the 10-22 gauge wire-stripperand the general wire-stripper blade) are a bit loose and might need attention over the timeof use (months to years?) to not get lost. I unscrewed the one screw at the blade-knob and foundthey have some kind of lock-tite to prevent lost screws -so i guess it will last a while before i have to re-tighten. I assume that extends to all screws used.The main blade-lock has 2x small Philips-head screws (barely visible when looking into the "blade-canal")and also holds the retention spring of the stripper-blade cover.The main-blade seem to have 2 Teflon washers for smooth operation.The clip is functional, though i think the design is a bit off.I would have better liked to have circular holes as a pattern, but that is just based on visual detailing.This design might be lighter & sturdier than what i have in mind...One more thing: it seem to only work as a right-hand (RH) version.I could see it be changed to a LH-version by switching the blade-knob to the other side,but the clip can not be moved to the other side (a small cutout is missing)and the gauge annotations are only on one side of the knife.This knife is a great tool - i have it on me every day.Hope this review helps?!

I work as a helicopter electrician for the US army and have used this knife for the last 6 months and Have finally decided to do a review. The knife itself is very nice. It feels solid and fits in the hand well, the blade will hold and edge nicely, and it slides out smoothly and stays like that. The wire cutters function nicely I just wish there was a way to lock them down without having to open the blade and strip a wire with a blade out, but they seem to strip nicely on even thick heat resistant aircraft wire. I honestly haven't messed with the co-ax strips too much so I cant say much about them. The only negative I could find is the pocket clip is pretty lose so it wont hold on to fabric or even a belt without falling out. I've tried taking it apart and bending the metal to make it tighter but it seems like the metal is too weak, but it the end does not hurt the value at all.

This is what it is a lower priced ultility knife with some neat wire stripping abilities. That being said for the price it is a very good knife. The wire strippers work great and it has a pretty decent blade for the price. It is not a knife you can hand down to your grandkids, but it is not priced that way either. Good though went into this design, way to go SOG, just make them in the USA not in china! Oh, and a full steel lined case would be nice too, I am concerened this knife could break inside the plastic handle with much force put on it with the blade open.I am using it for telcom and computer wiring and general electrical work around the house and office and it works great for that. I dont have to keep going to my toolbag for the wire strippers, it is right there in my pocket now.

The media could not be loaded. Bought for my nephew who is an electrician and he really really likes it. Might not be the sharpest knife but the multi functionality of it makes it a great tool

Very affordable and great quality, it's lightweight and has 3 different cable/wire stripping functions. The blade is sturdy when open and it comes decently sharp, I love the receptacle print on the blade and the "Kilowatt" is a clever name. Love this SOG for how inexpensive it is!
