Fixed blade knife STANLEY FATMAX 195 mm width, 175 g weight

STANLEY FATMAX fixed blade knife with a 195 mm blade width and 175 g weight is a hand tool designed for cutting, trimming and precision scoring in construction, carpentry and workshop environments. The fixed blade configuration delivers consistent blade position and stability for repetitive cuts and heavier tasks where a non-folding knife is preferred. The tool is intended for professional and hobby use where robustness and control are required.

Advantages

The fixed blade design ensures reliable blade stability and immediate readiness without folding mechanisms. A wide 195 mm blade provides an extended cutting edge for long, even cuts and improved reach into materials. At 175 g, the knife balances sturdiness with manageable weight for regular use. The construction of the tool is focused on durability and control to support repetitive cutting, trimming of boards, sheeting, insulation and packaging materials.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming drywall, insulation panels and sheeting
• Scoring and slicing cardboard, packaging and tape
• Carpentry tasks that require controlled straight cuts
• Workshop use for trimming and edge preparation

Key specifications

• Blade width: 195 mm
• Overall weight: 175 g
• Fixed (non-folding) blade configuration for stability
• Designed for hand-held cutting and trimming tasks

How to use

Hold the handle firmly with a secure grip and position the wide blade against the material at the intended cut line. Apply steady pressure and draw the knife along the surface to make a controlled cut; for thicker materials use multiple passes rather than excessive force. Maintain a safe distance from hands and body throughout the operation and use a straightedge or guide when a precise straight cut is required. Store the knife in a protective sheath or designated tool area when not in use to protect the blade edge and prevent accidental contact.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting. Keep the blade sharp and inspect it regularly for damage; replace the tool if the blade or handle is compromised. Use on suitable materials and avoid levering or prying with the blade to prevent breakage.
