Safety level 3 | tool-free blade change | extremely long edge life of the blade
The CB100 with protective hook combines safety level 3 with tool-free blade change – and offers the lowest operating costs in this category: €8.99 for the handle (one-off), €0.99 per replacement blade. The integrated magnet holds the blade securely in the handle during the change. The patented Flowthrough™ technology from RiteKnife reduces cutting resistance and is easy on the joints at over 1,000 cuts a day. Blades from MOZART Blades, Solingen, deliver an edge life of over 4,000 cuts per side – the highest of all BoxCutters on the market. For logistics managers and safety officers who want to combine the highest safety with low operating costs. More in the Safety knives overview.
The CB100 with protective hook is designed for the typical materials in logistics, goods receiving and production. It is particularly strong on corrugated board, stretch film, sacks and strapping – exactly the tasks where the highest safety is required every day. The concealed blade (level 3) reliably protects against accidental contact.
The CB100 with protective hook stands out with four core strengths: safety level 3 for maximum protection, excellent suitability for cardboard and corrugated board, tool-free blade change for the lowest operating costs – and the longest blade edge life of all BoxCutters on the market, powered by MOZART Blades Solingen.
Concealed blade — stays hidden in the housing throughout and protrudes only minimally for the cut. Maximum protection during operation.

Download →The CB100 uses only the K006 replacement blade – a proprietary trapezoid blade made of carbon steel, manufactured by MOZART Blades in Solingen. With over 4,000 cuts per side and the option of turning it over, each K006 reaches more than 8,000 cuts. All blades in the CURT range: Overview of all cutter knife blades.
The CB100 with protective hook is also available with a narrow cutting channel: the CB100-NG offers the same safety level 3 and the same blade change system, but is designed for applications in which a wider cutting channel is undesirable – for example with sensitive packaging or a tight cutting gap.
The CB100 with protective hook is the most economical choice in its category – BoxCutter level 3 with blade change. If you are looking for other safety levels or BoxCutter concepts, you will find suitable alternatives here, with and without blade change.

The most frequently asked questions about the CB100 with protective hook – on safety level 3, blade change, the edge life of the K006 and the TCO advantage over disposable BoxCutters.
The CB100 with protective hook has safety level 3 because the end of the blade outside the handle is fully shielded by a plastic overmould (protective hook). Unlike conventional BoxCutters, the blade is never exposed – neither during cutting nor during transport or changing. Safety level 3 is the highest level of the industry-standard classification; it is not an EN standard but describes the protective effect of the design.
The CB100 opens via a folding mechanism at the side. An integrated magnet holds the old K006 blade securely in the housing – it cannot fall out and there is no unintended contact with the cutting edge. Insert a new blade, latch the housing, done. The change takes a few seconds, without tools. Tip: K006 is usable on both sides – simply turn it over for more than 4,000 further cuts on the second side.
Depending on the model, disposable BoxCutters cost around €2 each. The CB100 costs €8.99 (handle, one-off) plus €0.99 per K006 replacement blade. From the fifth blade change, the CB100 is cumulatively below the cost of five disposable BoxCutters – with a much longer edge life (over 4,000 cuts per blade) and a higher safety level. With intensive use, the investment pays for itself correspondingly faster.
In standardised tests, the K006 blade achieves over 4,000 cuts per side on triple-wall corrugated board – around 7× more than comparable BoxCutter blades. Since the K006 can be turned over, this gives a total edge life of over 8,000 cuts per blade. For heavy users with more than 1,000 cuts a day, this means far less frequent blade changes and lower blade costs.
Yes – the CB100 with protective hook is explicitly designed for opening film sacks, woven sacks and big bags. The 7 mm cutting depth and the wide blade gap allow reliable cutting even with contracting or welded materials. At the same time, the protective hook prevents the contents from being damaged by cuts that are too deep – an advantage over BoxCutters with an open cutting channel.
