Top Sheet Liner Cutter

The OLFA TS-1 is a hand tool designed for cutting liners, packing foam, shrink wrap and similar materials. Its retractable carbon steel blade resists corrosion and holds an edge over repeated use. The compact 5 1/2 in. length suits technicians and warehouse staff who need a dedicated liner cutter at their station.

Replacing fixed blade knives

This cutter replaces fixed blade knives that dull quickly or require separate sharpening tools. The retractable mechanism lets you swap blades without disassembly, so the jump is worth it when blade changes interrupt workflow. Buyers who need to cut thick sheet stock or rigid plastics will find the 5/8 in. blade width limiting.

Quick blade swaps

Installation is limited to sliding a replacement blade into the channel and locking it back. The main issue occurs when the blade is not fully seated, causing it to shift during a cut. Carbon steel can rust if left wet, so wipe the blade dry after use in damp environments.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 1/2 in overall length fit standard tool pouches?

At 5 1/2 in long and 5/8 in wide at the blade, it slides into most standard pouches and holsters designed for utility knives.

How do I change the retractable carbon-steel blade without the old one snapping back?

Fully retract the blade, press the release lever, slide the used blade out, insert the new one until it clicks, then test the retraction before cutting.

When will the carbon-steel blade need replacing if I cut packing foam and shrink wrap daily?

Carbon steel holds an edge well but dulls on abrasive foam; expect to swap blades every few weeks with heavy daily use and keep spares handy.
