The design accepts standard 18 mm snap-off blades, enabling quick blade advancement and fast replacement when a fresh cutting edge is needed. A secure blade retention mechanism reduces blade movement for safer and more accurate cuts. The compact form factor improves control in detailed tasks and fits easily in a tool pouch or pocket.

Key specifications

• Blade type: compatible with 18 mm snap-off / segmented blades
• Body material: aluminum housing for improved rigidity and heat dissipation
• Blade change: tool-free blade replacement and snap-off blade advancement
• Ergonomics: compact profile for enhanced control and single-handed operation

How to use

Open the knife according to the built-in release or slider mechanism to expose the blade holder, insert a compatible 18 mm snap-off blade and secure it using the retention system. Adjust blade length with the slider to the required cutting depth and perform cuts with steady, even pressure. When the blade edge becomes dull, snap off the used segment at the scored line or replace the blade entirely following the same insertion procedure. Store the knife with the blade retracted when not in use.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and safety glasses when working with sharp blades. Keep fingers away from the cutting edge and maintain a stable cutting surface. Replace blade segments or the blade promptly when edges become dull to reduce force required and improve cutting accuracy.
