Key Features
Overview
The Klein Tools FLICKBLADE Folding Carpet Utility Knife (44310) is a folding knife built specifically for carpet installation. This is a carpet utility knife designed for trimming, seaming and tucking carpet, with a dual locking mechanism and an integrated tucking tool in one cast aluminum handle. It accepts all standard carpet blades.
The dual lock is the reason to pick this over a straight carpet knife. At 180 degrees the blade lines up with the handle for reaching into corners, along baseboards and under door casings. At 135 degrees it locks at an angle that keeps your wrist in a comfortable position when trimming across the floor.
The tucking tool is integrated into the knife and works whether the blade is open or closed. That means trimming and tucking happen with the same tool in your hand, which cuts down on the set-down and pick-up that eats time on a big room.
Blade changes are tool-free, and the knife takes any standard carpet blade, including Klein's own Round-Corner Carpet Utility Blades (Cat. No. 44128). The blade measures about 2-1/4" (5.7 cm) long and 3/4" (1.9 cm) wide.
The handle is cast aluminum in Klein orange, with weight balanced for control during extended use. Open, the knife is about 8-1/4" (20.9 cm) long; closed, it folds down to about 5-13/16" (14.7 cm) for the pocket or pouch. It weighs 4.8 oz (136 g). It is part of Klein's FLICKBLADE line of premium folding knives.
Who should buy it: carpet installers and flooring contractors who want trimming, tucking and corner work handled by one folding knife, plus remodelers who handle the occasional carpet patch or transition.
Reach the Corners, Spare the Wrist
Two lock positions cover the two cuts carpet installers make all day: the straight reach into a corner and the angled trim across the floor.
- 180-degree lock for tight corners
- 135-degree lock for angled cutting
- Fold-out closure
Tuck Without Switching Tools
The tucker is part of the knife and works open or closed, so trim-and-tuck becomes one motion instead of two tools.
- Integrated carpet tuck tool
- Works with blade open or closed
- Balanced weight for control
Fresh Blade in Seconds
Carpet backing dulls blades fast. Tool-free changes and universal blade fit keep the edge sharp without slowing the job.
- Tool-free blade change
- Accepts all standard carpet blades
- Includes 1 blade

Pro Tip
Use the 135-degree lock for long trims along the wall and only flip to 180 when you get into the corner or under a casing. The angled position keeps your hand off the floor and gives a straighter line.
Tool Nut's Take
A Carpet Knife That Also Tucks
The Klein Tools FLICKBLADE Folding Carpet Utility Knife (44310) puts two blade angles and a tucker in one aluminum handle.
- Who it's for: Carpet installers and flooring crews doing trim and tuck work all day.
- Why it stands out: The 180/135-degree dual lock plus a tucker that works with the knife open or closed.
- Worth knowing: It is purpose-built for carpet blades. If you need a general utility blade knife, look at a standard utility knife instead.
