Overview
Milwaukee's 48-22-1901 is a folding utility knife with a short metal blade and a plastic handle. The handle is listed as manual retractable, and an instruction guide ships with the knife.
A job site brand name and a lifetime warranty give it appeal as a pocket cutter for routine work. The shortfall is detail, since the listing names no steel type, lock or opening style.
Who it's for
Workers who cut tape, packaging and similar light material through the day. The plastic handle stays light in a pouch. Skip it if a stated steel grade matters.
Pros and cons
- Limited lifetime warranty
- Plastic handle stays light
- Instruction guide included
- Blade steel not named
- Lock type not listed
- Short blade length
Performance notes
A compact cutting edge gives close control for light cutting but limited reach for thick material. Plastic handles reduce weight and resist corrosion, though they flex more under hard force. Edge life depends on a steel grade that is left unnamed.
