Klein Tools, best known for their electrical hand tools, launched a line of Resurgence EDC-style folding pocket knives.
These knives feature a D2 tool steel blade, ambidextrous crossbar locking mechanism, and lightweight glass-filled nylon handle.
Klein says that their Resurgence is one of the best everyday carry knives you can get for the price.
I’ve never seen Klein’s Resurgence folding knives until today, and found the design interesting.
They offer this knife with 3 different blade profiles and 4 handle colors.
Klein’s website – as well as online stores – list it as being a new addition to their catalog. There’s one Amazon review dating back to February, and so if not brand new, they’re at least very recent.
Digging deeper, I found that Amazon has a couple of them on sale.
The knife with a drop point blade shape and orange handle, for example, is on sale for $42.50, from $50. Amazon has it labeled as a “limited time deal.”
Looking at the tan-handled knife in particular, Amazon has a 30% coupon which takes the price down to $35. That’s for the drop point version.
The clip point is also on sale, with no coupon checkbox necessary, for $34.
$34 and $35 seem decent for folding knives with specs like these (D2 blade, glass-filled nylon handles). The knives also have a reversible belt clip.
After looking closer at each model, I found that the tanto style knife is also on sale, with black handle scales, for $35. A 25% coupon on top of that brings the price down to around $26.
The green-handled tanto version is just over $39 after a baked-in discount and separate coupon offer. The green-handled clip point is just under $35.
I haven’t tested these out, but the design looks respectable, especially for the price point.
I couldn’t tell you why specific styles are discounted to as low as $26, while others are full priced at $50.
Updates (5/31 10am EST)
The orange-handled knife has an AUS-8 stainless steel blade.
The coupons seem to require the user to be logged-in (via web, not app). It’s unclear if there are other criteria, such as Prime membership.
The tan-handled clip point version is back to full price.
