Knife with snap-off blade 18 mm Högert Technik HT4C604, manual cutter

Högert Technik HT4C604 is a manual utility knife with an 18 mm snap-off blade designed for precise cutting of cardboard, paper, PVC, carpet and similar materials. The tool combines a segmented blade for quick renewal of a sharp edge with a compact, ergonomic handle that allows controlled one-handed operation. Its simple construction makes blade replacement and safe storage straightforward, providing a practical cutter for packaging, workshop and DIY tasks.

Advantages

The segmented 18 mm blade provides a long service life because individual segments can be snapped off to expose a fresh cutting edge without replacing the entire blade. The compact handle ensures good control and accurate cuts in confined spaces while the blade locking mechanism keeps the blade secure during use. Lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks and the straightforward blade change procedure minimises downtime.

Suitable for

• Cutting cardboard and corrugated boxes
• Trimming paper, film and PVC sheets
• Cutting carpets, linoleum and textile materials
• General packaging, workshop and DIY tasks

Key specifications

• Blade type: 18 mm segmented snap-off blade for incremental renewal of the cutting edge
• Handle: compact, contoured for one-handed control
• Operation: manual slider for blade extension and retraction
• Locking: blade lock for secure positioning during use
• Materials: metal blade with plastic or mixed-material handle construction

How to use

Extend the required length of the segmented blade using the manual slider and engage the locking mechanism to secure the blade. Make steady, controlled passes along the cutting line, using light pressure to avoid excessive blade exposure. When the edge becomes dull, retract the blade, break off the used segment at the scored line following the manufacturer’s guidance, then extend and relock the new segment. Store the knife with the blade retracted when not in use and keep replacement blades in a safe container.

Usage recommendations

For safe and efficient use, wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection during heavy or repeated cutting. Use the appropriate number of blade segments exposed for the material thickness to reduce risk of blade breakage. Replace the blade when multiple segments have been used or if any damage is visible. Keep the knife out of reach of children and follow local disposal rules for used blades.
