Automatic blade retraction | 37 g lightweight | very low price
The Basic mini safety knife is a compact entry-level knife for customers who pay particular attention to price. Like every CURT safety knife, it has automatic blade retraction (safety level 1): as soon as you release the slider, the blade retracts into the handle on its own. At only 37 g, the knife sits pleasantly lightly in the hand, the short 10 mm blade protects the goods in the packaging, and thanks to tool-free blade change it is suitable for right- and left-handed users. It is particularly popular in retail and logistics, where small quantities are needed at a very low price. More on choosing: Safety knives overview
Which materials is this knife made for — and where does it reach its limits?
Strapping made of PP or PET secures parcels and pallets. Straps under tension are cut in a defined way – an important point for occupational safety.
Sealed cartons are opened at the adhesive tape. A short, defined cutting depth cuts the tape without scoring the goods underneath.
Opening, cutting off flaps of and breaking down cartons is one of the most frequent tasks in goods receiving. Single- to triple-wall corrugated board can be cut through in a controlled manner without damaging the contents.
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 use six criteria to show you how the Basic mini safety knife performs in the most important respects: from the safety mechanism and grip quality to blade performance. This lets you judge at a glance what distinguishes this knife – and whether it suits your application. If you have questions about the choice, we are happy to advise you personally.
Automatic blade retraction — the blade retracts by itself as soon as you release the handle, no need to push it back manually.
