Folding Utility Knife Topex 98Z101 — compact folding design, general-purpose cutting tool

Topex 98Z101 is a compact folding utility knife designed for general-purpose cutting tasks. Its foldable body allows safe storage and convenient carrying, making it suitable for use in workshops, at home, during packaging tasks or for light craft work. The knife provides a simple handheld solution for opening boxes, trimming materials and performing everyday cutting operations where a portable, easily stowed tool is needed.

Advantages

The folding mechanism secures the blade inside the handle when not in use, reducing the risk of accidental cuts and simplifying storage. The compact size and lightweight construction make the knife easy to carry in a pocket or tool bag. As a general-purpose cutting tool, the design supports quick exchange of blades and straightforward handling for accurate control during cutting. Materials and construction are chosen to balance durability with portability for routine domestic and workshop tasks.

Suitable for

• Opening cartons and packaging
• Trimming paper, cardboard and thin plastics
• Light DIY and craft cutting tasks
• On-site, workshop and household use requiring a portable cutting tool

Key specifications

• Design: folding/compact utility knife
• Intended use: general-purpose cutting
• Handle: ergonomic, foldable for storage and transport
• Blade: replaceable utility blade compatible with standard utility blade sizes
• Weight and size: compact and lightweight for pocket carry (handheld format)

How to use

Open the knife by unfolding the blade from the handle until it locks into position. Hold the knife with a firm grip on the handle and apply steady pressure while cutting along the intended line. For thicker or tougher materials, make several controlled passes rather than forcing a single deep cut. After use, fold the blade back into the handle until it clicks to ensure safe storage. Replace the blade when it becomes dull, following the blade-change procedure: ensure the blade is folded and the knife is stable, unlock the blade holder if applicable, remove the used blade and insert a new one, then lock it in place.

Usage recommendations

Use the knife on stable surfaces and cut away from your body. Wear protective gloves if handling tougher materials. Store the knife folded and out of reach of children. Replace blades regularly to maintain clean cuts and reduce the need for excessive force.
