The L5-AL is the Auto-Lock version of the L-5: the 18 mm snap-off blade locks automatically with a single touch. The non-slip X-design handle resists acids and acetone, and the hard metal pick at the end helps open cans and boxes; an ultra-sharp Excel Black LBB blade comes preloaded.
The utility knives of the OLFA X-design series are the professional models for the 18 mm snap-off blade. The non-slip X-design handle with rubber or elastomer grip lets you cut safely even under heavy pressure, for example through cardboard, carpet, flooring or insulation. Each model comes preloaded with an ultra-sharp Excel Black blade (LBB).
Depending on the model, a ratchet-wheel lock holds the blade in many positions or the Auto-Lock system secures it automatically. The versions differ in their body of glass-fibre-reinforced polypropylene or die-cast aluminium and in extras such as a metal pick or lanyard hole. Ideal for upholstery, interior fitting, trades, warehouses and industry.
