My buddy works for Klein as an engineer and showed me around the facility. Amazing facility for sure. He even showed me the lines where some of the tools he designed were being developed.
I own both of these knives. I've walked past the Milwaukee for years and never gave it a second thought until your review of it came across my feed. Then I saw the Klein not long after that. So since both were 21 bucks or less, I decided to have one of each. Seeing the durability of the Milwaukee in your first review, it occurred to me that this type of knife is perfect for having available in your vehicle in the event you need to cut someone out of a wreck. The serrated edge is perfect for seatbelts and the like, while I'm fairly confident each of these is strong enough to break a window if necessary. The Klein does seem to have a slightly more durable build quality with the metal pommel but I think the sheath for the Milwaukee will actually hold up better over time. The nylon sheath of the Klein will be really easy to damage if you're not careful when re-sheathing the knife. At any rate, they're both incredible tools for the money and I appreciate the reviews. One of them lives in the door pocket of my pickup and the other lives in the door pocket of my commuter car.
I’m a metal detector in the Midwest. I used the Milwaukee duck knife for over four years. Fantastic knife. works great. You cannot go wrong with it especially for the price point. However, I do like the Klein knives. Also, I do not own one but I’m seriously thinking about purchasing one for the hobbyist in me. I believe you can’t go wrong with either one.
HVAC guy here, ive had the Klein plastic handle knife and the Klenk wooden handle knife, which i prefer. Both good decent knives, BUT, I've found a use for the Cold Steel Kobun serrated edge knife in this role! I know its not meant for this type of work, but its just so cool to have that knife to use every day. I even carry it in my boot 👍🗡️🔪. I should probably do a video lol.
I prefer the Klein overall and will be picking it up for my daily work knife based on this review. As far as the sheath, I'll probably just persuade a friend of mine to make one from Kydex, or I may even do so myself - it's not difficult!
I'm looking for a decent sized knife to leave on my boat, for cutting roles/nets etc. I wonder if they would stand up to the salty environment. At this kind of price I think I'll risk that. Thx
I have used woven nylon and Hard plastic sheaths and if both sheaths are of equal quality, the hard plastic sheath does last longer. As for the knifes themselves, I can't comment on that as I don't own either, but based on looks, the Milwaukee gets a solid second place. Great video sir.
I've got a couple of duct knives made by Klenk. I actually thought they were Klein when I purchased them off of Amazon. They are still very well made and I like them. Getting old and blind sucks though 😭
Good insightfully review! Some made in China knifes,such as these Milwaukee and Klein Duct Knifes are good, well made knifes. I have the Milwaukee and I like it as an outdoor activities knife, especially with the Lanyard Loop feature where I can use 550 Paracord as a Lanyard to keep the Milwaukee knife secure in my Hunting gear rig. Or tie and secure it as an improvised Spear. The Klein Duct Knife looks well designed and made, too bad that it lacks a Lanyard hole. I wonder if the Klein Duct Knife has a full tang? I believe that the Milwaukee Duct Knife has a Full Tang handle? Personally, I think that the hardened plastic Milwaukee Duct Knife scabbard, will outlast the Nylon Klein Duct Knife's scabbard. It's too bad that you did not include the Toughbuilt Duct Knife, which seems very similar to the Milwaukee for a trio comparison.
Funny how a "duct knife" could also be marketed as a Paratroopers Survival knife😉 I have used my Klein tools duct knife for over a year and the hammer handle is designed perfectly. The knife's description on the packaging does include the handle hammer as a unique feature, and that's what helped me choose the Klein blade.
My Kleine just arrived, I had to check I had the right knife delivered, it looks and feels like an expensive knife, feels great in the hand, good out the box edge, I’m loving it. I will be making a leather sheath probably scout style I’m happy 😅😮😊
That's awful but it doesn't surprise me, I haven't seen them at my local store lately but I still like to pick me up one by them being as tough as they are and in a SHTF situation it will be legal and something desirable to have. ⚔️🎯⚔️
I was surprised you preferred the Klein's soft sheath! I much prefer the Milwaukee sheath and larger grip, but I prefer the steel pommel and blade finish on the Klein. I prefer the larger guard on the Milwaukee as well. Kind of a toss-up, but I lean towards the Milwaukee.
A canvas knife sheath vs plastic is a loser in my book for the same reasons you’d rather have a Kydex gun holster over a canvas gun holster. Floppy holsters are dangerous when reholstering, and over time a canvas holster will loosen up. There’s also the danger of cutting into it if you don’t holster perfectly every time - which is more likely with a floppy holster. A knife rubbing into the fabric every time you draw or reholster will also wear fabric a lot faster than it will on plastic. Also, the locking factor is much better than a fabric loop which is not so secure to begin with, and will loosen up over time. I find it hard to believe that any serious knife carrier would pick canvas over plastic just from a safety standpoint, much less any of the other reasons I mentioned… I do think I’d like the Klein knife better (mainly because of the steel pommel), but I’d much rather use the Milwaukee holster with it if it would fit.
You can also make high ride pancake sheaths. Pick up some saddle leather scrap big enough to make it. There's a ton a leather worker on the tube to help you out with it. That's what I do. Enjoy the day.
I bought a BMP Duck Knife at a Flea Market for $10.00 - its metal all the way through the wood handle held in place by two brass-like rivets; the stealth is 'cheap' but it is what it is- Hate to be 'cut' by the serrated-side!
These are patterned after the Glock bayonet. Not as thick or as strong. But for a low dollar blade that can do a lot of things. Go for it. I'll stick with my Glocks. They have two versions. One with an one without a saw back. They run 26 to 30 bucks where you find them. Maybe little brother with a break down video on them. They feel an work more like a dagger than a dull bayonet. As a field blade I give it high marks as I own many and have used them for many years in the army. But hey guys check one out. They throw well an easy, cut cordage well, easy to keep sharp, batoning is easy also. Opens older ammo boxes well, clean cuts fiberglass sandbags well. So for 30 bucks or less you might want to give it shot. I give them out as Xmas gifts with 300 ft of Paracord. Folks love them.

Shiny Blades also attract monkeys in the jungle, among other things. If you fumble around and loose it it would be easier to find. My question is what would a knife produced in America like that cost?
I appreciate the feed back my friend. In all honesty, I try to avoid obvious factors as much as possible. I think for the most part people know these long sharp blades can cut through duct. The thing I wanted to attack is simply choosing which design
I would like the Klein to have a spot to put a lanyard thru. Certain times I’ve been working I wanted to make sure I didn’t drop it. Such as over water or up on ladder. The millwalkie has that but I don’t like the plastic pommel
The real answer to which is better for you will most likely come down to which is most available to you as a tradesman the places you shop in the most do they cary klien or Milwaukee just as simple as that
Neither if you are cutting ductboard. The blades are to fat. The old hickory carbon steel duct knife slides through the ductboard easier and cuts straight with less input.
I seriously doubt they're 440C, more likely 420C or the Chinese SS 6Cr13MoV to 3Cr13MoV don't think THEY're going to tell you what steel it is other than stainless steel it's the cheap stuff for sure!

@@411Outdoors the good thing about the new style I guess is over time the rubber on rubberized tool handles starts to degrade and come off. So that won’t happen with this newer style Milwaukee knife. But I just got shiver thinking about my hand slipping on the handle because it’s just plastic now.
In public, when a "dagger" is on my hip, my red handel "tool" rarely gets a look, where as the black handel not only gets noticed, but I've been asked to leave it in the truck, and told it's "illegal " to have that blade length. So red milwaukee wear anywhere, black klien get noticed and harassed.
There is no way in hell a nylon and velcro sheath beats a solid plastic retention I know its personal preference but your picking one over the other because aesthetics this isnt a review that id use to pick one over the other Ill admit there are trade offs between the two tools however a nylon sheath with velcro is a hard pass
Like I mentioned dependent on what you like and am what you use it for, choose accordingly. I’m not a tradesman regarding this blade. I would carry more casually around the house
i get that im in the tile and masonry trade ill admit the metal pommel is a nice design choice...how does it handle abuse? would it make a good striking point for anything one would need to make adjustments and the like?@@411Outdoors

Maybe you could get a universal sheath like a SpecOps and use the Milwaukee sheath as an insert. Then put the Klein in it.
One point of the red is recovering the knife when you throw it or drop it, might be more visible
VERY great point
How about the Klein in the Milwaukee sheath? Will it work with some retention? Thks gc
I did try to see if it would fit haha it didn’t unfortunately
I got both, for throwing the Klein has the best weight for sticking
Even though they sell them in my area, they're considered a dirk or dagger. Which is illegal to carry here.

There’s a lot regs on these for sure
What state are you in? California only makes it illegal to carry a dirk or dagger concealed.

The Klein looks exactly like the Malco duct knife only a minor difference in the handle sheath looks the same as well
