Estwing Mfg Co RK-7 Roofing Knife 7 Inches

Product Description

The ESTWING MFG CO RK-7 is a 7-inch roofing knife built for cutting rolled roofing and shingles on the job site. The casing is constructed from plated heavy gauge steel, giving it the structural rigidity needed for repetitive cutting tasks in roofing applications. The knife ships with replaceable blades, so a worn edge does not require replacing the entire tool. At 3.2 pounds, it carries enough mass for controlled cuts without excessive fatigue during extended use. Roofing contractors and general construction trades are the primary users of this tool.

This roofing knife is suited for residential and light commercial roofing work where cutting rolled roofing material or asphalt shingles is a routine task. It is commonly used during tear-off and installation phases of roofing projects. The replaceable blade design makes it practical for full-day use where blade sharpness directly affects cut quality and worker efficiency. It is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it a practical buy for roofing crews or supply stocking.
