Folding knife Fiskars CarbonMax 160 mm, metal body, trapezoidal blade

Fiskars Folding Knife CarbonMax 160 mm combines a rigid metal body with a straight, trapezoidal replaceable blade to deliver reliable cutting performance for workshop, packaging and general utility tasks. The compact folding design keeps the blade protected when not in use and the metal construction ensures stable handling and extended service life compared with lightweight plastic-bodied cutters. Blade changes are straightforward, allowing the user to maintain a sharp edge without replacing the entire tool.

Advantages

The metal body provides strong grip and improved durability for repeated use. The trapezoidal blade geometry offers a long straight cutting edge suitable for precise straight cuts and controlled slicing. The folding mechanism protects the blade and reduces storage space, while the replaceable blade system lowers running costs by enabling quick blade swaps. The overall length of 160 mm balances portability with sufficient handle length for two-handed control when needed.

Suitable for

• Opening and cutting packaging materials (cardboard, tape, shrink wrap)
• Workshop tasks such as trimming, scoring, and light material removal
• Hobby and craft projects requiring straight, repeatable cuts
• General utility use around home or workplace

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Body material: metal
• Blade type: trapezoidal, straight edge, replaceable
• Tool type: folding utility knife
• Typical uses: packaging, workshop, hobby, general utility

How to use

Open the folding knife until the blade locks securely in the open position. Hold the metal handle firmly and guide the trapezoidal blade along the line to be cut with steady pressure; use short controlled strokes for thicker materials. When the blade becomes dull, unlock the blade or access the blade compartment according to the folding mechanism and replace the trapezoidal blade with a compatible CarbonMax blade. Fold the knife and secure it when the blade is not in use to prevent accidental contact.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protection such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when working with sharp blades. For best results, use blades matched to the material thickness and replace blades as soon as cutting quality declines. Store folded and out of reach of children. Avoid using the knife as a prying tool to prevent damage to the blade or handle.
