FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

What are the advantages of a zinc knife housing compared to plastic?

A heavy-duty zinc alloy housing provides maximum durability, weight, and torsional rigidity. The heavy and robust zinc construction offers perfect balance in the hand and withstands hard impacts, drops onto concrete floors, and heavy pressure when cutting corrugated cardboard, plastic, insulation, or carpet without the housing flexing or cracking.

How are precision and safety ensured during use?

The retractable and lockable mechanism keeps the blade firmly fixed in the desired position. The precision-milled blade guide prevents lateral blade wobble, providing full control and straight, clean cuts. When the knife is not in use, the blade can be easily retracted completely into the zinc housing for safe storage in a pocket or tool belt.

How does the included blade work and what replacement blades fit?

The knife is supplied with a high-quality 18 mm snap-off blade consisting of 15 individual segments, providing long usage time before the blade needs replacing. When an edge becomes dull, you simply snap off the outermost segment to reveal a new, razor-sharp tip. The knife is compatible with all standardized 18 mm snap-off blades on the market.
