This is a lightweight, general-purpose hobby knife designed for precision cutting of paper, cardstock, soft wood, and plastic.
Unlike round metal knives that roll off your table and stab your foot (or break the tip), this "Rite-Cut" series uses a squared-off plastic handle design that stays put where you set it down.
Key Features
-
Non-Roll Design: The handle features a hexagonal (6-sided) shape, preventing it from rolling off slanted drafting tables or workbenches.
-
Safety Cap: Includes a "Twist-Lock" shatter-resistant safety cap.
It fits snugly and locks in place so it won't fall off in your toolbox. -
Rear Blade Release: The blade clamp is tightened by twisting the rear of the handle, rather than the knurled metal collar at the front. This prevents you from accidentally loosening the blade while you are trying to cut.
-
Made in USA: Manufactured in the USA by Excel Blades.
