Advantages

The snap-off blade allows quick and safe blade renewal without tools, maintaining a consistently sharp edge. The metal-reinforced slider and housing deliver improved durability and reliable blade locking during use. Its balanced weight and ergonomically contoured body support longer cutting tasks with reduced hand fatigue. The combination of black, red and silver finishes gives clear visual contrast for the slider and blade area, aiding accurate positioning.

Key specifications

How to use

Slide the metal-reinforced slider to extend the blade to the required cutting length and engage the locking position before applying pressure. Make controlled cuts using steady, even force and keep the blade at a shallow angle for thin materials or steeper angle for thicker materials. When a blade segment dulls, snap it off along the scored line using the built-in snapper or appropriate tool, then advance the next segment and re-lock the slider. Store the knife with the blade retracted when not in use.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection for tasks with higher risk. Keep the blade retracted during storage and transport. Replace the blade segments before they become excessively worn to maintain clean, precise cuts and reduce the need for extra force.
