Key Features
Overview
The Klein Double-Edged Duct Knife, 5-1/2-in. (DK16) is an HVAC special-purpose knife designed for cutting flexible duct, duct board and insulation. Its 5-1/2-in. (140 mm) stainless steel blade is ground smooth on one side and serrated on the other, so one knife handles clean slices and sawing cuts.
The dual-material TPE handle adds comfort and control, and the stainless steel pommel gives you a striking surface for tough material. At 20-11/16 in. (525 mm) overall, it reaches well into duct work. The included sheath is impact resistant and carries a belt clip.
It fits HVAC installers, sheet metal crews and insulation contractors who cut duct board and flex duct all day.
Two Edges, One Knife

Use the smooth edge for controlled scoring and the serrated edge for fibrous or flexible material.
- Stainless steel blade, 5-1/2 in. (140 mm)
