Pocket Safety Cutter/ Springback/Replaceable Blades

It’s only a pocket away. Introducing the next generation of safety cutter. Take it anywhere in the work place. Cut boxes, tape, string, paper or plastic. Folds up safely to conceal blade when not in use.

A utility knife — also called a box cutter, a razor blade knife, a carpet knife, or a stationery knife — is a common tool used in various trades and crafts for a variety of purposes. Another style of utility knife is one in which a handle, usually of plastic, contains a long, segmented blade which slides out from it. As the endmost edge becomes dull, it can be snapped off from the rest of the blade. This exposes the next section which is sharp and ready for use. When all the individual segments are used, it is thrown away or a replacement blade is inserted. This kind of knife often comes in bright colors like orange, blue and yellow.

A style that is often used for the cutting of boxes consists of a simple sleeve around a rectangular handle into which single-edge razor blades can be inserted. The sleeve slides up and down on the handle, holding the blade in place during use and covering the blade when not in use.
