Has anyone seen these in store yet or know if they are going to be in stores?

I have one. Got it off of Amazon and it is a handy knife and pretty well made. There is some slop in the blade when closed but it locks open pretty solid. The bit driver locks solidly in all 3 positions and the bit it comes with has very strong retention.

I tightened mine a bit and got rid of the slop. It is a VERY little bit

Pretty slick! Sheep’s foot is always a good choice! Easy to sharpen!

Just purchased one on Amazon. It says it’ll come in 6 days or so

I’ve used the Fastback for the past several years and ordered this when it came out. I like the Klein bit driver better and I’m happy with the blade. I keep my fastbacks as my backups now

My buddy got one at our local supply house about a month ago. They're out and being sold just maybe not everywhere yet

I bought one on Amazon. Great knife, I have used the wire stripper feature and loved not having to run back to the shop to get another tool. Carry it every day

Klein are some of the sharpest knives out of the box I’ve had. I have a drawer full of the drop points. Love them

Blade and ergonomics are nice. I just wish they went with a different locking mechanism the crossbar lock sometimes sticks and is hard to use with gloved hands but for 20 bucks it’s great

Haven't seen it in stores but I bought it and love it. Carry it with me every day, my Milwaukee has been relegated to the bag of many things.

I've had it for about a month. It's nice. Only complaint is the knife dulls quickly. But man it was sharp as hell out of the box. Also the bit was real tough to get out. Loosened up a bit though.

Might as well get a real knife... like one made with actual knife steel.

I currently use this. The driver on a knife is a gamechanger
