Las Vegas, Nevada, January 21, 2003 –
Stanley (NYSE: SWK) introduces the Stanley? SportUtility™
Outdoorsman™ knife, a multifunctional knife featuring
a 3½-inch folding sport blade at one end and a retractable
utility blade at the other. The design of this multipurpose
knife makes it ideal for the avid outdoorsman who may also
occasionally use a utility knife on the jobsite or for a weekend
home improvement project.
With a convenient metal thumb stud, an outdoor enthusiast
can open and close the serrated 3½-inch sport blade
with one hand in a quick and safe action. The fixed folding
sport blade is made of corrosion resistant, cutlery stainless
steel and cuts deeper than a standard pocketknife.
The utility blade can be changed quickly with the touch of
a button and without the use of other tools. Once locked in
place, the blade can be adjusted to three different set positions
for the user to easily change the depth of the cut. The knife
is reliable and accurately cuts building materials such as
insulation, drywall and roofing shingles. For added safety,
only one blade can open at a time and the sport blade can
only be opened when its thumb stud is first pushed in and
then up.
“The SportUtility™ Outdoorsman™ knife is
designed to meet all the needs of the avid outdoorsman who
also may be a tradesperson or home improvement enthusiast,”
said Bill Merrill, Global Director of Stanley Cutting Tools
Business Unit. “This tool is highly functional and easy
to use, whether it’s for filleting fresh fish by a campfire
or cutting roofing shingles on the jobsite.”
The knife offers users outstanding comfort, performance and
reliability with features such as comfortable rubber panels,
cast metal construction and a patented interlocking nose to
prevent the body from splitting.
The SportUtility™ Outdoorsman™ knife comes complete
with a reinforced nylon sheath with snap closure and is able
to house up to 10 heavy-duty utility blades. It will be available
at the end of 2002 exclusively at Stanley Preview Dealers
and has a suggested retail price of $24.99. To find one of
the over 8,500 Stanley Preview Dealer hardware stores within
a specific area, please use the Preview
