I've had a couple of Milwaukee knives as "stand ins" for my regular EDC (I actually keep a fixed blade in my car as a backup). They were quite good for the price. One thing I like is that the locking mechanism actually holds the blade CLOSED, which is a nice feature.

i like straight edge outside work. but at work its very handy and they only put serrations on a third of the knife so its not in the way and only there when you need it for rope or other tougher material. i think they hit a home run here and even carrying a leatherman via sheath at work. i would still throw this in the pocket for many quick save a trip to the truck situations. ordered one. thank you for the great video

Straight edge and get rid of spring clip. Spring clip gets caught on things and bends open. Once bent it will pissy you off from that point on at least once a day. Great knifes. I'm a plumber and beat crap out of them. They sharpen nice and are easy to take care of.

The spring clip that holds knife in pocket catches on things while you're working and bends a little. After the wire spring clip bends, it tends to get hooked up on everything a pull out of your pocket. Your jacket will catch it and pull it out of your pocket while you're working. Work in close quarters with it for a while and you'll see. It's a great knife and I will buy another when I lose this one. That said I'm on my 4th Milwaukee knife since they started selling them.
