A tool designed for daily use, the Smart-Retracting Metal Squeeze Knife by SLICE products maintains its effectiveness without compromising the user's safety. A simple squeeze on the ambidextrous designed handle exposes the ceramic blade; when the blade is no longer in contact with the cutting material, it self-retracts.
This tool features an 100% zirconium oxide, also known as ceramic, blade. These blades do not rust or require any oils or lubricants, keeping them safe to use for your projects.
Steel is a soft material, and blades dull very quickly, which is why they are grinded so sharp, to give them a productive life. Ceramic blades are much harder, so they dull slower, and last up to 11.2x longer than metal blades. Ceramic blades are also not as sharp; the cut is made by the pressure applied, so there is reduced risk of injury when handling the blade.
The reinforced metal handle can be used either left or right handedly, and does not require a tool to change the blade. For added protection, there is a lock button to reduce accidental exposure.
The Smart-Retracting Metal Squeeze Knife ships with one rounded tip blade, but pointed tip blades can be purchased as well.
