Utility knife YATO YT-75123 — handheld cutting tool, 1 pc

The YATO YT-75123 utility knife is a handheld cutting tool supplied as a single unit. Designed for general cutting tasks, it is suitable for construction, packaging, DIY and workshop use. The compact design provides manual cutting functionality for materials such as cardboard, plastic film, carpet edges and tape, combining a lightweight body with a replaceable 18 mm segmented blade for straightforward blade renewal.

Advantages

The knife uses an 18 mm broken (segmented) blade made of Ultra Sharp SK2H steel with a protective black coating that preserves edge sharpness. The body is made of impact-resistant ABS plastic and features a TPR non-slip coating on the handle for improved grip and handling comfort. A metal guide ensures smooth blade movement, while the Auto Lock system holds the blade securely in position during use and resists forces up to 20 N to prevent accidental retraction or extension.

How to use

Hold the YATO YT-75123 utility knife by the handle with the TPR-coated surface against your palm for a secure grip. Slide the blade out to the required length using the slider mechanism and ensure the Auto Lock engages to fix the blade position. Perform cutting motions with steady, controlled pressure appropriate to the material. When a blade segment becomes dull, snap off the used segment (if applicable) or replace the blade according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then retract and lock the blade when not in use.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when working with the knife. Keep the blade retracted and locked during storage and transport. Replace blades or blunt segments promptly to maintain cutting efficiency and reduce the need for excessive force.
