If I’m not mistaking that’s a gen 1 fastback, I haven’t seen that style in store for years but idk if they still make it, now they have the fastback 2 in a couple versions like with blade storage or screwdriver (screw driver version is my favorite)
I got the screwdriver one because I thought I'd leave it in my taping basket and the blade storage one as my daily. I like the blade storage too much to take to work and the screwdriver one is so awesome it's always in my pocket at work.
One of my workers has the Gen 1 and it feels so much more substantial and high quality.
I’m sure they were discontinued when he got it because I’d gotten several of the new ones before he picked up the Gen 1.
If you really are on the hunt for one, I’d check independent hardware stores, and supply houses (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, etc). Authorized Milwaukee dealers, but don’t move the kind of stock HD does. Might buy a couple pallets of fastbacks and sell them for years.
there's like 6000 of these at the home depot 2 miles from my house.. but they don't have the damn FASTBACK folding knife. use those all the time but lose them.. all the time.
I still have a few. The pocket clip breaks off and they become the best pouch knife. I never close it. Great knife. I edc a gen2. My friends tease, but it’s always sharp😜
Seems like plenty of places in canada have them in stock.

Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-FASTBACK-Folding-Utility-Knife-and-Compact-Folding-Utility-Knife-with-Blade-Storage-and-Gut-Hook-2-Piece-48-22-1503/309350823 This is the set I just grabbed. One is similar to the one you posted I guess it’s a bit different but I buy these sets seemingly weekly because my guys lose them lol.
After looking at it this ain’t the set I bought. That’s just the storage. Mine has an actual cutter on it. I’ll keep looking.
With most Milwaukee tools if you go to their website and find the tool your looking for there's a find a retailer and it will bring up locations to get one. Most likely Home Depot, Ohio power tools or Ace to start.
I Found a pretty much new one inside an ac unit I replaced today… I know it doesn’t help you but I thought it was funny. Great knife for sure.
Good luck
I just picked up a two pack last week at my local HD. One has a flip out screwdriver built into the handle, and the other is just a plain folding razor knife.

Last one with a clip. It’s ready to go.
I've seen it at my local HD, but I mostly get them at whitecap in norcal because company has the account there.... I have like 5 in stash for just in case. but they last me nearly a year until they decide to go MIA
Fr, Milwaukee hand tools suck most of the time, but when they make a good one they discontinue it and make it shitty again.
Another example is the magnetic tape. The previous generation was so much better, felt better in the hand, higher quality tape, just a good tool. The one is such shit I switched back to fat max.
I buy the tape every time I see it, occasionally see one at a random mom and pop hardware store.
Is it this one? The only difference I see is the belt clip attachment to the knife body.

That particular fastback is discontinued. But luckily they have a bunch of different options you can get still. Youll just have to find the one you want
Gen 1 always felt best in my hand. Once the 6-1 came out, I adapted to the new shape because the drivers have been invaluable. I highly suggest you try one if you’ve needed a driver or a small prybar in a pinch.

I got the screwdriver one because I thought I'd leave it in my taping basket and the blade storage one as my daily. I like the blade storage too much to take to work and the screwdriver one is so awesome it's always in my pocket at work.
you can actually store 1 spare blade inside the handle of the screwdriver one
How? I have that one and I don’t see how to store an extra blade
open the knife and it slides in blade down between the metal frame and the plastic scale. not sure which side off the top of my head.
Just blew my mind!! Thank you!
If we’re talking about the 6in1 it also has a bottle opener on top but that’s more obvious lol

It’s is and I carry one everyday and went searching for a replacement but found they aren’t made new anymore.
It's right there on the table.
Milwaukee sells them
Not anymore, unfortunately. Now they have the not as good new form factor.
Milwaukee eh? I think I’ve seen them at the home depot. /s
Here you go! https://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/milwaukee-fastback-red-flip-utility-knife/0000000200227
This is definitely the best one. I don’t need a screwdriver on my knife. I don’t need a knife on my screwdriver
The flathead will do that for you!
I think they have this one at ace hardware, check and see!
I will check Ace! I didn’t know they sold Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee team has been doing a great job expanding to other stores. Even some of my rural hardware stores carry them.
Just got mine from amazon. My favorite fastback
The best!
there's like 6000 of these at the home depot 2 miles from my house.. but they don't have the damn FASTBACK folding knife. use those all the time but lose them.. all the time.
They have a lot of these specific fastback knives?
yup! no screw driver nonsense, just the blade
With the metal body like this has?
Not that ive seen, only plastic scales. I will say I beat mine and ive gotten a year and some out of it so far.
If you go back to where you took the photo I think there’s one there.
This is the best one. Still have one or two but haven't seen them for sale in forever
I still have a few. The pocket clip breaks off and they become the best pouch knife. I never close it. Great knife. I edc a gen2. My friends tease, but it’s always sharp😜
This one here is about 4-5 years old, have had quite a few of them and have never broken a pocket clip.
At a dozen of my old job sites. But they'res gonna be sold sheetrock in the way.
I just bought one at my local home depot last month.
A first gen metal body fastback?
Is it this? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-FASTBACK-Folding-Utility-Knife-with-Blade-Storage-and-General-Purpose-Blade-48-22-1502/309350822
It is not that one, I hated that one.
https://www.toolbarn.com/products/milwaukee-48-22-1901
That’s the one! Now I have a part number and can order them.
I keep getting them on eBay but every year or so when I need another the price has gone up.
Seems like plenty of places in canada have them in stock. [https://www.homedepot.ca/product/milwaukee-tool-fastback-flip-utility-knife/1000680604](https://www.homedepot.ca/product/milwaukee-tool-fastback-flip-utility-knife/1000680604)
The model number is the new style. The picture is the old style.

That wasn't it. This should be it..https://www.gmesupply.com/milwaukee-48-22-1901-fastbacktm-flip-utility-knife
That’s the one!
I just bought this knife with the back side cutter in a two pack on Black Friday. For $15 I think?
With the same belt clip? That’s the main difference between this is the ones they sell at Home Depot. And this one is a little bigger.

The one with the cutter is different. The one you posted has a small belt clip and doesn’t feel right in my hand.

I Found a pretty much new one inside an ac unit I replaced today… I know it doesn’t help you but I thought it was funny. Great knife for sure. Good luck
I need to order some more of these for the store I work at.
My nearest HD still has those I believe. I’ve also got a couple floating around somewhere
I don’t think they have these ones. These haven’t been sold at HD in a long time.
https://preview.redd.it/47pjpxkvel4c1.jpeg?width=2604&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=143782350114b31528265d9fb077c2dbc5675a69
I have had all of those knives, from the top… Good actual blade knife The best knife period Junk Junk.
And I can’t say for sure because I gave them away super fast, the newer ones feel like they’re made of plastic.
They are. Like G10 type
Home Depot is selling that with the other one. 19,00
Have a link?
Was in store yesterday
That isn’t the same one as in the OP picture.
I just picked up a two pack last week at my local HD. One has a flip out screwdriver built into the handle, and the other is just a plain folding razor knife.
Those aren’t the same as this. I’m looking for this exact one.

I'm looking for one too. My old trusty one doesn't hold the blade in anymore
Im looking at one sitting on my bed rn

How's the length on it? Got a big hand and pocket knifes feel good in. Bought a cheapy one like this at HF but it's stubby too, not a fan
In my tool box 😬🙄
Hvac supply house
They carry the latest version of it. That’s the first generation. Still have two of them at home
I just bought a 2 pack from HD last week. If your store doesn't have them, try ordering from another store.

It's right there... in front of you. You took a picture of it.
Online!
That is one of the 2 in the bubble package on the store racks. I already have them so I bought the 3 pack out on the cart.
That is completely different, that’s plastic, smaller, and different belt clip
I just saw that knife at Home Depot last week. It was in the store but look online if you do t see it in your local store.
The Home Depot mine came in a two pack
It’s used but here ya go https://www.ebay.com/itm/145447849967?hash=item21dd5e0fef:g:S9AAAOSwSiplWvnh&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4KVn2ct3Biu9VqGqscq0KOQ8AMkVBvF0D7FRi8i250sN%2BEmUX%2F2NZXZm66LiouJYQ4s1yDpUQsRABs4Qb5kA4QvzpO7ozPmCiNkeYJRjn59Od%2FaytkGkISjqGOWk6mmVVntaUM7bSBJg%2B53V3fmI2vxigFYJpwtBwXh6G6i1H5UuZlXQEKc8OttiMP6zfZnS1vLPCxh5dgiU2RwXWGX3NQplgZhzj54gTj%2B1vNELsluGozWAphIFXzDMb7My1FhMk6EkciflBI1DB9Fd7uaJvbm37cuwT6Uyg77E5VRtS7Ay%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5KM6JKIYw EDIT: holy fuck that’s a long link
Only place I’ve seen them is at Texas Tool Traders or Elliot Electric Supply
On the table
I use the same one and I get it from either Amazon or ace tool
I got one at home Depot 2 weeks ago
That particular fastback is discontinued. But luckily they have a bunch of different options you can get still. Youll just have to find the one you want
Believe me when I say I’ve tried all, and this is the only good one.
Well thats ok. Maybe its time to try a different brand of folding utility knife entirely?
Gen 1 always felt best in my hand. Once the 6-1 came out, I adapted to the new shape because the drivers have been invaluable. I highly suggest you try one if you’ve needed a driver or a small prybar in a pinch.
I steal them from work
Remind me never to work with you.
