Ceramic blade | safety grind blade | compact pen-cutter design
The Pen Cutter manual safety knife is identical in construction to the automatic U008 – the only difference is the manual, three-stage blade retraction. Safety here does not come from a retraction mechanism but from the safety grind of the ceramic blade itself: the blade geometry limits the cutting depth, regardless of whether the blade is dirty or jammed. Formally the knife is classified as safety level 0, but because of this blade technology it in fact works considerably more safely than a classic cutter knife of this level. The smooth-running blade slider offers three blade positions in a compact pen-cutter design – well suited to users who need consistently safe blade guidance even when opening sacked goods. Suitable for safety officers, logistics managers and production managers who need a robust niche solution. Safety knives overview
Which materials is this knife made for — and where does it reach its limits?
Non-woven fabrics and separator sheets can be cut exactly to size without the material fraying.
Single- to triple-wall corrugated board and cartons can be opened, have their flaps cut off and be scored in a controlled way without damaging the contents.
Thicker films, shrink hoods and covers can be cut through cleanly thanks to the sufficient blade opening, without snagging.
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 Pen Cutter manual 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 choosing, we are happy to help you personally.

The Pen Cutter manual is identical in construction to the PenCutter automatic (U008) – both use the same ceramic safety blade with safety grind and the same rubberised blade slider. The only difference is the blade retraction: while the Pen Cutter manual retracts the blade by hand in three stages, the blade of the U008 retracts automatically. Choose the variant that suits your type of use.
Besides the Pen Cutter manual, CURT offers further compact safety knives with automatic blade retraction: the U10514 (Mini ceramic) also uses a ceramic blade, but with automatic instead of manual retraction. The U019 (Ergocut mini) stands out with a very low price and a short blade length. For deburring tasks, the SMR100 with a scalpel blade made of premium carbon steel is suitable instead.
