Cutting depth 10 mm | Plastic housing | Wide blade opening
The Ergocut mini is a safety level 1 safety knife with automatic blade retraction. The blade retracts as soon as the thumb releases the slider.
The handle is made of plastic in a particularly ergonomic design with a smooth-running thumb slider. The knife is therefore designed for frequent use of up to 1,000 cuts per day.
The slider can be operated on both sides, so the knife is suitable for right- and left-handed users without any conversion. The blade is changed without tools. A deliberately wide blade gap at the front keeps the automatic retraction working even when adhesive tape or dirt sticks to the blade, and the knife carries the GS mark of the VPA Remscheid.
The Ergocut mini is designed for the typical cutting tasks in retail branches – opening cartons and cutting off flaps, cutting strapping and adhesive tape, cutting open bags and blister packs. The short cutting depth of 10 mm protects the contents of the packaging. Safety knives overview
Which materials is this knife made for — and where does it reach its limits?
Open corrugated board and folding cartons, cut off flaps and trim to size – the short blade stays just above the carton wall.
Cut PP and PET strapping without the blade going far into the goods.
Cut open film bags, pouches and mailing bags without hitting 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 you can see at a glance how the Ergocut mini 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 choosing, we are happy to help you personally.
Automatic blade retraction — the blade retracts by itself as soon as you release the handle, no need to push it back manually.

Everything about the Ergocut mini in two compact PDFs: the product flyer summarises features and applications – the technical data sheet provides dimensions, blade specifications and safety information. Both are free to download.

Download →The Ergocut mini is supplied with a K081 rectangular blade – 39 × 19 × 0.3 mm, usable on all four corners. It only accepts rectangular blades in the K081 format; trapezoid blades do not fit. For everyday use we recommend the K081 made of Solingen carbon steel, and the KM145 stainless steel blade for environments where rust is a concern. Overview of all rectangular blades
The Ergocut mini is also available in a detectable version for areas with HACCP requirements or metal-sensitive environments. The Ergocut Detectable uses the same compact design and automatic blade retraction – but is designed as a disposable knife without blade change. If you work in standard retail operations, you are in the right place with the Ergocut mini.
