10564 – ceramic blade with fully automatic blade retraction

Ergonomic squeeze-grip | blade safety grind | ceramic blade

The Slice 10564 fully automatic squeeze-grip ceramic safety knife reaches safety level 2 with its fully automatic blade retraction – and the fitted blade goes one step further: it has a safety grind with reduced initial sharpness, an additional safety benefit that goes beyond the level classification alone. The 10564 is operated with an ergonomic squeeze-grip that you simply take in your hand and squeeze – operation remains pleasantly smooth, even with protective gloves and with frequent cutting several times a day. For safety officers and logistics managers who want to combine maximum retraction safety with a particularly safe, gently ground blade in recurring daily work, the 10564 is among the safest safety knives with an exposed blade available on the market. Safety knives overview

Highlights

  • Very high safety: fully automatic blade retraction (safety level 2)
  • Low-fatigue working: ergonomic squeeze-grip – simply pick it up and squeeze, ideal with protective gloves too; the textured grip surface prevents slipping
  • Little effort required: smooth operation of the squeeze-grip – the blade extends and retracts safely with very little force
  • Extremely long edge life: blade made of 100 % zirconium oxide ceramic, according to the manufacturer stays sharp up to 11× longer than steel, also rust-free and non-magnetic
  • Reduced cutting risk: blade with safety grind and deliberately reduced initial sharpness, also bevelled on both sides with a 60° tip and rounded blade tip

Knife know-how

Not every safety knife is built the same – and you only notice it when it matters in everyday use. In the knife know-how section we show you at a glance how the 10564 performs in the most important respects: from the safety mechanism and grip quality to blade performance. This lets you judge whether it suits your application. If you have questions about the choice, we are happy to advise you personally.

Further features

Safety

Transport lock
Prevents the blade from extending by accident in a pocket or tool case.
Without snap-off segments
Continuous blade without predetermined breaking points, no risk of a segment breaking off uncontrolled.
Rounded tip
Prevents puncture injuries without limiting the cutting performance of the blade edge. Particularly relevant for overhead or blind work.
Safety grind
Deliberately reduced initial sharpness noticeably makes accidental skin cuts harder, without making the blade unusable for the material being cut.
Few mounting holes
Fewer blade mounting holes mean fewer predetermined breaking points under lateral force, and a lower risk of uncontrolled breakage.

Handle & ergonomics

Ergonomic design
The handle shape is designed around the hand position when cutting and reduces fatigue with repeated use.
Left- and right-handed
Can be used with either hand, with or without conversion depending on the model, equally suitable for left- and right-handed users.
Large slider
Generously sized, can be operated safely and over a large area, even with gloves.
Smooth-running slider
Operates with little effort, noticeably more comfortable with frequent use.
Weight > 100 g
Higher weight, usually due to all-metal construction. More robust, with somewhat less carrying comfort over long periods. This model weighs 104 g.

Blade

Ceramic
Extremely hard and rust-free, stays sharp exceptionally long, more sensitive to lateral loads than steel.
Uncoated
Constant basic sharpness without coating wear, cost-efficient and proven. The most economical choice for standard applications.
Very long edge life
Maximum service life between two blade changes, for the most intensive continuous use with as little changing effort as possible.

Special features

Tool-free blade change
Insert a new blade without tools, done in seconds.
Eyelet
For attaching to a belt, carabiner or lanyard so the knife stays within easy reach.
Knife type: safety knife
Safety knives are designed for continuous professional use — usually with an automatic or manual blade guard that prevents cuts when the knife is not in use. The standard choice in logistics, retail and production.

Blade change – how it works

  1. 1 Activate and extend the blade by squeezing the squeeze-grip.
  2. 2 Press the button on the back at the blade exit and remove the blade towards the front.
  3. 3 Turn the blade over or insert a new blade.
  4. 4 Dispose of dull, old blades safely.

Replacement blades

The Slice 10564 fully automatic squeeze-grip ceramic safety knife is supplied with a K10526 (ceramic safety blade with safety grind and rounded tip). The knife accepts only matching Slice ceramic blades – pay attention to compatibility when buying. Our recommendation for everyday use: the K10526. Overview of all trapezoid blades

Variants

Besides the 10564 with fully automatic blade retraction and squeeze-grip, Slice offers the same ceramic safety blade concept in three further retraction variants: the 10550 retracts the blade manually, the 10554 automatically with a comfort grip, and the 10563 automatically with the same squeeze-grip as the 10564. All three share the ceramic blade with safety grind – the only difference is the retraction mechanism and the shape of the handle.

Alternatives

If you are looking for a comparable safety level 2 with fully automatic blade retraction but prefer a classic carbon steel blade, you will find alternatives such as the AS100 (premium safety knife with fully automatic blade guard) or the Secupro 625 from martor. The 10554 stays closer to the 10564 – the same ceramic blade, but with automatic instead of fully automatic retraction and a comfort grip instead of a squeeze-grip. The choice depends mainly on whether you prefer a ceramic or steel blade and which handle you favour.

Accessories

Complement the 10564 with matching accessories: collection boxes for dull blades, lanyards as a safety cord, cutting rulers for precise cuts and holsters for safe storage.
