Folding safety knife with automatic blade retraction

folding | automatic blade retraction | for right- and left-handed users

This safety knife retracts the blade automatically (safety level 1): when you take your thumb off the slider, a spring pulls it into the handle. In addition, the metal handle can be folded into the red plastic handle, even with one hand. This makes the knife compact, and it fits in any trouser pocket.

The slim front also reaches tight spots. The knife is suitable for right- and left-handed users, it can be attached via the eyelet, and you change the blade without tools. It takes standard trapezoid blades with a notch in the back. The manufacturer is Stanley.

Knife know-how

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.

Few mounting holes

Fewer blade mounting holes mean fewer predetermined breaking points under lateral force, and a lower risk of uncontrolled breakage.

Handle & ergonomics

Thumb slider

The blade is pushed forward with the thumb in the classic way.

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

Higher weight, usually due to all-metal construction. More robust, with somewhat less carrying comfort over long periods. This model weighs 124 g.

Blade

Carbon steel

Higher sharpness and longer edge retention than stainless steel. Ideal for dry environments with a high cutting frequency.

Uncoated

Constant basic sharpness without coating wear, cost-efficient and proven. The most economical choice for standard applications.

Normal initial sharpness

Solid basic sharpness from the first cut, entirely sufficient for everyday use.

Long edge life

Much longer service life until the next blade change than standard blades. Reduces change intervals and blade consumption in intensive use.

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.
