The DeWalt HK 40 has a 4.5-inch black finish D2 tool steel drop point blade over a full extended tang at 10 inches overall, a black and yellow rubberized nylon handle and a lanyard hole.
D2 on a jobsite knife is a considerable step up from what the category usually runs. It holds a working edge far longer than budget stainless, which matters on a blade cutting sheathing, strapping and packaging all day. The trade is that D2 is only semi-stainless and needs to be dried after it gets wet.
Yellow against black makes the knife findable on a site or in a truck bed where a dark handle disappears into clutter. The extended tang runs to the butt so the pommel can take a strike without loading the handle scales. Explore more Survival and Bushcraft.
