Should I choose 13-point or 8-point?
13-point blades give more refreshes and excel on lighter materials (films, paper, thin board). 8-point blades have longer, stronger segments for thicker stock and heavy-duty cuts.
How do I snap segments safely?
Extend one segment, hold the knife away from your body, use the handle’s cap breaker or pliers to bend at the scored line, and place the spent segment into a sharps container.
Which width do I need?
Match your handle: 9 mm for precision, 18 mm for general purpose, 25 mm for heavy duty. The wrong width will not clamp securely.
Are there stainless options?
Yes—choose stainless for damp or corrosive environments, or where frequent sanitation is required.
