Utility Safety Knife Dedra PHC Metti with Retractable Blade, Grey-Yellow

Dedra PHC Metti is a compact utility safety knife with a retractable blade designed for controlled cutting in packaging, workshop and household tasks. The grey-yellow housing provides clear visibility on workbenches and in toolkits, while the retractable blade mechanism keeps the cutting edge hidden when not in use to reduce the risk of accidental cuts. The tool is intended for straight cuts in cardboard, tape, plastic stretch film and other common materials encountered during opening and trimming jobs.

Advantages

The retractable blade design allows instantaneous hiding of the blade after use, improving user safety compared with fixed-blade knives. Its compact, lightweight construction makes the tool easy to handle and manoeuvre for precise cuts. The durable housing resists daily wear and provides a stable grip during operation. The visible colour scheme aids quick identification among other tools and in low-light storage areas.

Suitable for

• Opening cardboard boxes and parcels
• Cutting packing tape and shrink film
• Trimming soft materials such as rubber, foam and textiles
• General workshop and household cutting tasks

How to use

Hold the Dedra PHC Metti with a firm grip on the housing and slide the mechanism forward to expose the blade to the required cutting length. Use steady, controlled strokes and maintain an angle appropriate to the material being cut. Retract the blade fully after each use by sliding the mechanism back into the housing. Store the knife in a safe place out of reach of children when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a sharp, undamaged blade and avoid forcing the knife through very hard or thick materials. Replace the blade according to manufacturer guidance or when cutting performance declines. Wear cut-resistant gloves where appropriate and always cut away from your body to minimise injury risk.
