BoxCutter with an antimicrobial handle for film and strapping

antimicrobial handle | concealed blade, level 3 | with eyelet for lanyard

The housing of this BoxCutter is made of an antimicrobial special plastic: according to the manufacturer, an additive reduces the adhesion of bacteria by up to 95%. The blade lies permanently concealed in the housing, and cutting takes place only in the narrow cutting channel behind the protective hook (safety level 3).

It opens strapping and stretch film, cuts adhesive tape, plastic cords and thin corrugated board, and is suitable for food and pharmaceutical plants. The disposable knife sits well in the left or right hand and has an eyelet for a lanyard or carabiner. The manufacturer is Klever (USA).

Highlights

  • Hygienic handle: thanks to antimicrobial special plastic that reduces bacterial adhesion by up to 95%
  • Level 3 injury protection: thanks to a blade permanently concealed in the housing
  • Easy handling: with a 17 g housing with a characteristic wave shape
  • Ready for immediate use: as a disposable knife without blade change, both sides of the blade usable
  • Safe to carry: via the integrated eyelet for lanyard or carabiner

Applications & cutting materials

The Klever Kutter Kleen cuts strapping and stretch film very well, as well as adhesive tapes and plastic cords. It is suitable for thin corrugated board, sacks, non-woven fabric and PVC and rubber film. The narrow 3.3 mm cutting channel is not designed for polystyrene and ropes. The cutting profile corresponds to the standard model – the difference lies solely in the hygienic handle.

Knife know-how

The Klever Kutter Kleen differs from the orange standard model in only one detail – but a decisive one: its antimicrobial handle. Design, safety mechanism and blade are identical. This overview shows what the Kleen achieves technically, where its hygiene advantage lies and where the design limits of the BoxCutter remain.

Further features

Safety

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

Ergonomic design
The handle shape is designed around the hand position when cutting and reduces fatigue with repeated use.
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 < 50 g
Feather-light, barely noticeable when carried all day, for example on a belt or in the hand. This model weighs 17 g.

Blade

Stainless steel
Stainless steel does not rust and is insensitive to moisture — the right choice for wet areas, food production or outdoor use. Slightly shorter edge life than carbon steel.
Uncoated
Constant basic sharpness without coating wear, cost-efficient and proven. The most economical choice for standard applications.
High initial sharpness
Especially sharp from the first cut, ideal when maximum cutting performance is needed immediately.
Normal edge life
Usual service life until the blade is changed, in line with the market standard for this type of blade.

Special features

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.

Variants

The Klever Kutter Kleen belongs to the Klever Kutter family and shares its design and operation. If you do not need a hygiene handle, the standard model H035O is the lower-priced basic version. For areas with foreign-body control in food and pharmaceutical production, there is the metal-detectable H035MDP. The Kleen adds the antimicrobial handle to the range.

Alternatives

For more demanding applications, the range offers more robust BoxCutters: the OLFA SK-15 (H036) was the best-value winner of our BoxCutter test 2025, and the Tortoris US53 won it with the lowest force required. If you would rather change the blade than replace the whole knife, choose the CB100. All three cut with noticeably less force than the Klever Kutter Kleen – but without its antimicrobial handle.

Accessories

Matching accessories round off the use of the Klever Kutter Kleen: a collection box safely holds dull disposable knives, a lanyard secures the knife against falling via the integrated eyelet, a cutting ruler with a steel edge supports precise cuts, and a holster keeps the Kleen within easy reach in goods receiving.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about the Klever Kutter Kleen: from the antimicrobial special plastic and its proven hygiene advantage to suitable cutting materials and the differences from the standard model H035O and the detectable version H035MDP. This is how purchasing and occupational safety quickly find the right answer.

Was macht den Klever Kutter Kleen antimikrobiell?

The Klever Kutter Kleen has a handle made of glass-fibre-reinforced special plastic with an additive that reduces the adhesion and growth of bacteria by up to 95 %. The plastic is tested by a BBI QA Test Certificate. It is the only box cutter on the market with this feature.

How does the Kleen differ from the standard model H035O?

The Klever Kutter Kleen is identical in construction to the H035O – same design, same level 3 safety, same blade. The only difference is the antimicrobial handle. The Kleen costs about 16 cents more than the standard model.

Which industries is the Kleen particularly suited for?

The Klever Kutter Kleen was developed for hygiene-sensitive areas such as the food and pharmaceutical industries. Wherever surfaces should stay as germ-free as possible, the antimicrobial handle offers added value over conventional plastic knives.

Which materials does the Kleen cut?

The Klever Kutter Kleen specialises in strapping and stretch film and also cuts adhesive tapes and plastic cords very well. Thin corrugated cardboard, sacks, fleece and PVC and rubber sheeting can be cut as well. The narrow cutting channel is not designed for polystyrene, ropes and thick cardboard.

Can the blade of the Kleen be changed?

No, the Klever Kutter Kleen is a single-use knife without blade change. Because both sides of the blade are used, it achieves around 910 cuts. Once the blade is dull, the whole knife is replaced and safely disposed of in a blade bin.
