FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What makes the combination of a stainless steel body and an impact-resistant plastic handle so effective?
The internal rail and body made of stainless steel provide the knife with high torsional rigidity and prevent corrosion, ensuring the blade slides smoothly and sits stably without play. The outer plastic handle is made of an impact-resistant material that withstands heavy knocks on the job site while remaining lightweight and comfortable to work with.
How is the blade length adjusted and how does it affect safety?
The knife has a stepped retractable function with a locking mechanism that allows you to quickly and safely adjust how much of the blade is exposed. This lets you set the exact cutting depth according to the thickness of the material – perfect when, for example, you want to cut cardboard without damaging the contents of the package.
What does it mean that the included blade has 15 segments?
The included 18 mm blade is divided into 15 snap-off segments instead of the standard 7–8 segments. This means almost twice as many sharp break-off points on a single blade, resulting in significantly longer service life and fewer blade changes during demanding cutting tasks in plastic, cardboard, carpet, or insulation.
