Tortoris S24 is a safety level 1 safety knife with automatic blade retraction. Unlike classic thumb-slider knives, the blade is extended here by squeezing the pliers grip and retracts automatically as soon as the grip is released again.
The housing is made of high-quality glass-fibre-reinforced plastic and impresses with a particularly ergonomic design: instead of a thumb slider, a pliers grip releases the blade, which makes handling pleasant in everyday use. The knife is therefore designed for frequent use of up to 1,000 cuts per day.
The S24 is equally suitable for left- and right-handed users without any conversion. The blade is changed without tools directly at the workstation, the narrow blade opening at the housing head leaves hardly any room for unwanted contact with the blade, and an integrated transport lock prevents accidental extension in the warehouse or vehicle.
The knife is universally applicable – from cartons and strapping to films and twine – but is particularly suited to daily use in logistics, warehouse and production. Safety knives overview
The Tortoris S24 performs well on a wide range of materials in goods receiving: corrugated board, adhesive tape, stretch film, strapping, thick films, PVC film, fleece, rubber and twine are cut excellently. Sacks & fabrics, ropes and polystyrene/foam can also be processed reliably. The S24 thus covers most cutting tasks in logistics, production and trades without having to change the blade.
The S24 opens lids and flaps of folding cartons in a controlled way via the pliers grip, without scoring the contents.
It cuts PP and PET strapping reliably – when the pliers grip is released, the blade retracts immediately.
When opening adhesive tape, the shallow 18 mm cutting depth guides the blade close along the carton surface.
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 S24 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.
