Utility knife Fiskars CarbonMax 25 mm with snap-off blade, metal body

The Fiskars CarbonMax 25 mm utility knife with snap-off blade and metal body is a compact cutting tool designed for controlled, repeatable cuts in a range of materials. It features a durable metal housing and a replaceable segmented blade that maintains a sharp edge by snapping off worn segments. The tool is engineered for precision when working with cardboard, paper, vinyl, carpet and similar materials, offering a balance of strength and handling for both professional and home tasks.

Advantages

The metal body provides robust durability and better impact resistance compared with plastic-bodied cutters. The 25 mm CarbonMax snap-off blade delivers long-lasting cutting performance and can be refreshed quickly by snapping to the next segment. A secure blade holder minimizes blade movement during use, improving cut accuracy and user control. The knife’s compact form factor and straightforward blade change mechanism reduce downtime and simplify maintenance.

How to use

Hold the knife with a firm grip and position the blade edge against the material at the intended cutting line. Apply steady pressure and draw the knife along a straight edge or guide for precise cuts. When the leading segment dulls, partially extend the blade, score the designated snap line and carefully break off the spent segment to reveal a fresh edge. Replace the blade when all segments are used, following the manufacturer’s instructions for safe disposal and installation of new blades.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate hand protection when performing repetitive or forceful cutting tasks, and always cut away from your body. Use a straightedge or cutting mat for improved accuracy and to protect underlying surfaces. Store spare blades in their protective packaging and dispose of used segments in a blade-safe container.
