Advantages

The steel body provides durability and a firm grip while the 27 mm snap-off blade delivers broad cutting capacity for thicker materials. The replaceable blade system enables fast blade changes and cost-effective maintenance. Its compact 135 mm length allows precise handling in confined spaces and reduces user fatigue during repetitive cutting. The overall construction is designed for stable blade guidance and consistent cutting depth.

How to use

Extend a fresh blade segment by sliding the blade carrier forward, then lock it into position before cutting. Hold the knife with a secure grip on the steel body and use steady, controlled motions along the cutting line. For thicker materials, make several light passes rather than forcing a single deep cut. When the front segment becomes dull, snap it off along the scored line and advance the next segment; replace the blade when all segments are used.

Usage recommendations

Use on stable cutting surfaces and always cut away from the body. Wear appropriate hand protection if performing prolonged or heavy-duty cutting. Store the knife with the blade retracted and keep replacement blades in original packaging to avoid injury. Not recommended for cutting hardened metals or materials requiring specialized cutting tools.
