Laser Tools has introduced a ceramic‐bladed safety utility knife (part number 8404), which offers safer handling with much longer blade life.
The ceramic blade is significantly harder than steel and therefore offers exceptional wear resistance, lasting up to ten times longer than a comparative steel blade. Because of a traditional steel blade’s relative softness, they are sharpened to unsafe levels – the much harder ceramic blade doesn’t have to be as sharp – and so offers an effective, durable, and safer edge. The handle features an ergonomic grip, suitable for both left and right‐handed users and has a storage compartment for a spare blade. With on‐board blade storage (spare blades available separately), and a tool‐free blade change mechanism, this knife is always ready for work.
The spring-loaded blade retracts automatically when the slider is released, ensuring that it is never left exposed between jobs. It is also non‐magnetic, non‐conductive, never rusts, chemically inert and non‐contaminating.
