RTY-2/DX – rotary cutter with a pistol grip and a 45 mm blade

Pistol grip operation | 45 mm round blade | blade change without tools

On the OLFA RTY-2/DX you operate the blade guard with the pistol grip: you squeeze your hand together, which unlocks it. On the almost identical RTY-2/G, a thumb slider does this.

The rotary cutter has a 45 mm round blade made of premium carbon steel with high initial sharpness and long edge life and is suitable for textiles, leather and foam materials. You change the blade without tools. The plastic handle is suitable for left- and right-handed users and has an eyelet. The manufacturer is OLFA.

Further features
Knife type: Other
Other — special tool for a specific application, see technical data for details.
Ergonomics: ergonomic design
Ergonomic design — the handle shape is designed around the hand position when cutting and reduces fatigue with repeated use.
Ergonomics: tool-free blade change
Tool-free blade change — insert a new blade without tools, done in seconds.
Ergonomics: pliers grip
Pliers grip — the blade is activated simply by squeezing the handle shells, without thumb pressure. Particularly gentle with frequent use and at safety level 2, where the blade has to be re-activated after every cut.
Ergonomics: left- and right-handed
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.
Weight: < 100 g
< 100 g — noticeably lighter than all-metal knives without compromising on stability. Comfortable with frequent, repeated use throughout the day. This model weighs 96 g.
Material: premium carbon steel
Premium carbon steel — refined alloy with even better edge retention, for particularly demanding continuous use.
Coating: uncoated
Uncoated — constant basic sharpness without coating wear, cost-efficient and proven. The most economical choice for standard applications.
Sharpness: high initial sharpness
High initial sharpness — especially sharp from the first cut, ideal when maximum cutting performance is needed immediately.
Sharpness: long edge life
Long edge life — much longer service life until the next blade change than standard blades. Reduces change intervals and blade consumption in intensive use.
Blade safety: without snap-off segments
Without snap-off segments — continuous blade without predetermined breaking points, no risk of a segment breaking off uncontrolled.
Blade safety: few mounting holes
Few mounting holes — fewer blade mounting holes mean fewer predetermined breaking points under lateral force, and a lower risk of uncontrolled breakage.
