Olfa Safety Utility Knife 5-3/4 In

The Olfa Safety Utility Knife measures 5-3/4 inches and features a black and yellow finish. It uses a self-retracting mechanism with a rounded safety blade. The tool is designed for cutting tasks in warehouses, offices, or home environments. It is supplied new as a general-purpose hand tool.

Suited for box cutting and packaging tasks

This knife handles boxes, corrugate, plastic strapping, shrink-wrap, rubber, leather, and posterboard. The self-retracting blade improves safety during repetitive cutting work. It is not suited for heavy industrial slicing that requires a fixed or locking blade. Users needing a blade shape other than rounded should look at alternative cutting tools.

Rounded safety blade for listed materials

The rounded safety blade comfortably cuts through the listed packaging and craft materials. It runs out on dense or thick substrates that demand a pointed or serrated edge. The self-retracting action limits cut depth for operator protection. Blade replacement will be necessary when the edge dulls from extended use.

Questions about this item

What type of blade does the Olfa Safety Utility Knife use?

The knife uses a rounded safety blade designed for cutting boxes, corrugate, plastic strapping, shrink-wrap, rubber, leather and posterboard.

How does the blade retract when I finish a cut?

The blade operation is self-retracting, meaning the blade automatically slides back into the handle when you release the slider.

How can I confirm the self-retracting mechanism is working correctly?

After setup, make a test cut on cardboard; the blade should extend while the slider is held and fully retract into the housing the moment you let go.
