Overview
At 7.75 inches, the Milwaukee 48-22-1901 pairs a metal body with a plastic-handle overmold in a folding format.
The category label on this listing reads Knifes, and the title backs that up directly, so this page treats it as a folding utility knife rather than an accessory or sheath. Metal construction paired with a plastic handle section is a common combination for job site folding knives built to survive drops.
- 7.75 inch overall length
- Metal body, plastic handle

Pros and cons

Performance notes
At 7.75 inches overall, this sits in typical folding utility knife territory rather than a full-size fixed blade. The metal body adds durability for job site drops, while the plastic handle section keeps weight down and adds grip.
