Handheld utility knife MODECO MN-63-021 equipped with an 18 mm replaceable snap-off steel blade. Designed for cutting paper, cardboard, plastic films, carpets and similar materials, the knife features a segmented blade that allows quick renewal of the cutting edge without tools. The metal-reinforced body and ergonomic plastic handle provide a balance of durability and handling for workshop, construction and packaging tasks that require controlled, repeatable cuts.
Advantages
The segmented 18 mm steel blade gives long working life with the option to expose a fresh cutting edge quickly by snapping off worn segments. A secure blade locking mechanism holds the blade firmly in place during use and minimizes blade wobble for precise cutting. The knife’s construction combines a lightweight plastic grip with metal components in high-stress areas to increase resistance to wear while keeping overall weight low. The replaceable blade system reduces downtime and operating cost compared with disposable knives.

- Cutting cardboard and corrugated boxes during packaging and shipping.
- Trimming paper, vinyl and plastic films in craft and workshop tasks.

- General workshop and construction tasks requiring controlled straight cuts.

How to use
Extend the blade to the required length using the slider and lock it in place with the blade locking mechanism. Make controlled cuts with steady pressure and a straight motion; for thicker materials, use multiple shallow passes rather than forcing a single deep cut. When the tip of the exposed segment becomes dull, lock the blade, snap off the worn segment along the break line, and advance the blade to expose a fresh segment. Replace the blade cartridge when all segments are used, following manufacturer guidance for safe blade disposal.
Usage recommendations
Always wear appropriate hand protection when working with cutting tools, keep fingers away from the blade path, and store the knife with the blade retracted. Use the knife for intended materials only and replace blades with compatible 18 mm snap-off steel blades to ensure correct fit and safe operation.
