CAT 980013 Fixed Blade Knife

This 9-1/4 inch overall fixed blade knife from CAT is built for electricians and tradespeople who need a durable cutting tool. The 4-3/8 inch drop-point blade uses 7Cr17MoV stainless steel with a titanium nitride finish for strength and corrosion resistance. A micarta handle with top-edge jimping and a finger groove provides a secure grip during cutting and thrusting tasks. Weighing 7.40 ounces, it balances heft with all-day comfort.

Suited for daily trade work.

The knife suits professionals who want a heavy-duty blade for pulling cable, stripping sheathing or general site cutting. Its robust construction handles repeated use without flex. Buyers who need a folding design for pocket carry or a smaller blade for intricate work should look at something else. The fixed format also means a sheath is required for safe transport, which is not included.

Fits on a tool belt; frees up pocket space

The fixed blade rides in a belt sheath so it stays accessible without occupying pocket room. The jimped spine and finger groove let you choke up for controlled cuts in tight panels. No batteries, sharpening systems or proprietary accessories are needed — just a standard sharpening stone to maintain the edge. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for chemical exposure.

Questions about this item

What protective gear should I have before using the 4-3/8 inch 7Cr17MoV stainless steel blade?

Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling the 7.40 ounce fixed blade knife to guard against accidental slips during cutting or skinning tasks.

Can I keep this CAT 980013 knife alongside my older carbon steel knives without corrosion issues?

The titanium nitride finish on the 7Cr17MoV blade resists rust better than plain carbon steel, so storing it near older knives will not cause cross-contamination or accelerated corrosion.

How do I verify the drop-point blade is properly aligned after first use?

Check that the 4-3/8 inch blade centres in the micarta handle, the top edge jimping sits flush, and the finger groove allows a secure grip without lateral play during thrusting cuts.
