Fiskars snap-off blade CarbonMax 1027232 for utility knife — replacement blade, carbon steel

Fiskars snap-off blade CarbonMax 1027232 is a replacement segmented blade designed for compatible utility knives. Made from carbon steel, the blade offers reliable cutting performance for everyday tasks. Its snap-off segments let users expose a fresh edge quickly and safely, reducing downtime and maintaining consistent cutting efficiency when working with cardboard, paper, thin plastic and flooring underlay.

Advantages

The carbon steel construction delivers good edge retention and straightforward sharpening tolerance suitable for routine cutting jobs. The segmented design provides multiple fresh cutting edges within a single blade, enabling quick restoration of sharpness without removing the blade from the knife. The blade is thin enough for precise cuts while remaining sturdy for controlled slicing of common materials used in workshops, homes and craft applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting cardboard and corrugated boxes
• Trimming paper and card stock for craft projects
• Slicing thin plastic sheeting and packaging materials
• Installing or trimming flooring underlay and similar soft materials
• General workshop and household cutting tasks

Key specifications

• Material: carbon steel blade
• Segmented snap-off design for multiple cutting edges
• Blade type: straight utility blade compatible with standard holders
• Edge style: single-bevel sharp edge per segment

How to use

Install the replacement blade into a compatible utility knife following the knife manufacturer’s instructions to ensure correct seating and secure locking. When the tip becomes dull, score the blade at the designated break line using pliers or the knife’s snap-off tool, then snap away the worn segment to reveal a new sharp edge. Replace the entire blade when all segments are used or if the blade is bent or damaged.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, always use appropriate hand protection and cut away from the body. Keep fingers clear of the blade path when snapping off segments and dispose of used blade pieces in a safe container. Select this carbon steel snap-off blade for routine cutting tasks; for heavy-duty or long-term wear applications, consider blades specified for tougher materials or higher wear resistance.
