Safety Knife Donau 30871 — plastic yellow, safety blade for warehouse use

Donau Safety Knife 30871 is a compact, lightweight cutter with a yellow plastic housing and a protected safety blade designed for warehouse and packaging tasks. The tool is intended to reduce the risk of accidental cuts while opening cartons, cutting tape and slice through stretch film. Its simple shape and low weight make it suitable for repetitive use in logistics, stock handling and retail backrooms where operator safety and ease of use are priorities.

Advantages

The safety knife features an enclosed blade that limits direct contact between the user and the cutting edge, lowering the chance of lacerations during routine opening tasks. The plastic construction keeps the tool light and corrosion-resistant, while the bright yellow colour improves visibility in busy work areas. Its compact size allows for easy one-handed operation and convenient storage in a pocket or tool belt.

• Opening cardboard boxes and cartons
• Cutting packing tape and adhesive film
• Handling stretch film and shrink wrap
• Repetitive picking and packing operations in warehouses

Key specifications

• Housing material: plastic

• Blade type: protected safety blade

How to use

Hold the knife with a secure grip and expose only the portion of the safety blade necessary to cut the packaging material. Position the protected blade against the surface to be cut and apply steady, controlled pressure while moving the knife along the cut line. Avoid forcing the blade through thick materials; make multiple shallow passes if needed. Store the knife with the blade protected or retracted where possible to minimise accidental contact.

Usage recommendations

For safe and consistent results, use the Donau Safety Knife 30871 for thin to medium packaging materials such as carton flaps, tape and stretch film. Inspect the blade regularly and replace the tool when the blade protection is compromised or cutting performance declines. Train personnel in correct hand positioning and cutting technique to reduce the risk of injury during repetitive tasks.
