CTR SK-16 SAFETY KNIFE

-

The SK-16 safety cutter from Olfa is designed to cater to all of your profession­al and hobbyist cutting- and unpacking needs, easily slicing through thicker materials such as carpeting, rubber sheets, double-walled cartons, stretch-film and plastic.

Its clever design limits users’ exposure to the cutting edge, as the blades are safely positioned between two plastic guards. Not only does this feature make it safer to use, but it helps to avoid damaging goods inside boxes when cutting through tape and packaging. The enhanced metal tip on the back of the handle is a more efficient way of slicing through packaging tape.

Changing the blades is extremely simple, but it won’t need to happen too often, as they’re made from ultrahard stainless steel. Activate the blade release from either side of the handle to detach the dull blades. Then it’s just a case of clipping in the replacemen­t. The handle is ergonomica­lly designed for comfort, and made from chemical-resistant resin.
