Kick Ass Mechanical Insulation Cutting Tool Set

Kick Ass Knife™ – The Ultimate Mechanical Insulation Knife

Designed by insulators, for insulators. The Kick Ass Knife™ is a patent pending system designed to outperform, and out-cut every mechanical insulation ham-boning knife on the jobsite.

Each knife is precision forged from non-sparking German 1.4116 stainless steel(X50CrMoV15) for sharpness and easy resharpening. It features a full tang blade with a lanyard hole at the end and Class 1-rated tether that can be used in a wristlet mode, allowing hands-free use without losing control — giving you a true third hand on the job.

The Mediterranean Tunisian olive wood handle is hand-finished, burn-sealed, and laser-etched with measurement markings that double as a ruler — perfect for quick cuts and layout without reaching for a tape. Every handle is unique, combining strength and natural beauty with a smooth, durable finish that fits comfortably in your grip.

The Kick Ass Knife™ comes with a sheath (nylon/Kydex) built to secure to both a tool belt or regular belt, and it includes a safety tether clip for quick connect or disconnect while working overhead or on scaffolds or in wristlet mode.

It also comes with a Class 1 Rated Tether
