Utility knife Bahco SQZ-MINI

The Bahco SQZ-MINI utility knife is a compact, lightweight cutting tool designed for everyday tasks. Weighing approximately 65 g, it combines a durable construction with an ergonomic handle and a retractable blade mechanism. The small size and low weight make it easy to carry in a pocket or tool kit while providing stable control for precision cutting jobs in both professional and do-it-yourself environments.

Advantages

The knife's compact form factor and low weight reduce user fatigue during repeated use. Its durable construction withstands typical wear from trimming materials such as cardboard, tape, plastic and thin sheet materials. The ergonomic handle supports a secure grip, and the retractable blade improves safety when the tool is not in use. The simple mechanism allows for quick blade extension and retraction for intermittent tasks.

• Cutting cardboard and packaging materials
• Opening boxes and removing tape
• Trimming thin plastic, vinyl and similar materials
• Light workshop and maintenance tasks where a compact knife is needed

Key specifications

• Approximate weight: 65 g
• Compact handheld form factor for portability

How to use

Hold the Bahco SQZ-MINI with a firm but comfortable grip on the ergonomic handle. Slide the blade out to the required length using the retractable mechanism, then make controlled cuts with steady pressure along the material. Retract the blade fully into the handle after each use or when carrying the knife to prevent accidental contact. Replace blades according to wear; follow standard blade-change procedures for retractable utility knives to ensure secure blade seating and safe operation.

Usage recommendations

For safe and efficient use, wear appropriate hand protection when working with sharp materials, keep the blade retracted when not cutting, and use the knife for tasks within its design limits—avoid cutting hard or thick materials that may damage the blade or housing. Store the knife in a dry place away from children.
