Tortoris ES44 is a safety level 2 safety knife with fully automatic blade retraction. Unlike classic thumb-slider knives, the blade is extended by squeezing the pliers grip and retracts by itself as soon as the grip is released or the blade leaves the material being cut.
The housing is made of high-quality glass-fibre-filled plastic, and the blade carrier inside is additionally made of metal – together designed for hard continuous use. The pliers grip relieves wrist and tendons because the blade does not have to be re-activated with the thumb for every cut; the knife is therefore designed for frequent use of up to 1,000 cuts per day .
Right- and left-handed users can operate the ES44 directly without any conversion. The blade is changed without tools via a magnetic holder, and a Transport lock prevents the blade from being released by accident during storage and transport.
In logistics, retail, production and trades, the ES44 covers a wide range of materials and plays to its strengths particularly with firmer materials such as cartons, strapping and rubber. Safety knives overview
Which materials is this knife made for — and where does it reach its limits?
When cutting off lids and flaps of cartons, the blade passes cleanly through the multi-layer corrugated board and retracts fully automatically into the housing after the cut.
The ES44 cuts tough sheet rubber in a straight line – the pliers grip lets you apply the necessary pressure to the edge in a controlled way.
Through thick foam boards, the blade, only 0.65 mm thick, also draws tight curves and contours without squashing the soft material.
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 Tortoris ES44 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 the choice, we are happy to advise you personally.
Fully automatic blade retraction — the blade retracts into the housing automatically as soon as you release the handle, without any action on your part. Lowest residual risk when putting the knife down.
