The Stanley FMHT10500-0 Black Folding utility knife features a 25 mm blade and a compact 165 mm closed length, designed for general-purpose cutting tasks around the home and workshop.

This tool is intended for controlled cutting of cardboard, plastic, tape and other common materials where a reliable retractable blade is required.

How to use

Open the knife by unfolding the blade mechanism until it locks into position. Make sure the blade is securely locked before applying cutting force. Use short, controlled strokes and let the sharpness of the blade do the work; avoid excessive twisting or bending of the blade. After use, fold the blade back into the handle until it is fully enclosed and locked for safe storage. Replace blunt blades according to wear or when cuts become less effective.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting. Keep the knife out of reach of children and store the tool folded and secured. Select the correct blade type and replace blades promptly when worn to maintain cutting performance and reduce the risk of slippage.
