On the SK-8 the blade retracts automatically after each cut or when it loses contact with the material, even with the slider engaged; a click signals activation. The die-cast aluminium head resists wear, and the anti-slip elastomer grip and flat slider can be operated safely even with gloves. Compatible blade: SKB-8 with two edges.
OLFA safety knives with retracting blades are made for everyone who opens cartons, film and strapping every day: in goods receiving, warehouse and shipping, in upholstery and trade workshops, or when unpacking fabric bolts in the sewing studio. A spring pulls the blade back into the handle after the cut. This lowers the risk of cut injuries and protects the goods inside the box.
Every model suits right- and left-handed users, blades are changed without tools, and each knife in this range carries the GS mark for tested safety. Depending on the job, choose a standard handle, an anti-slip elastomer grip, fully automatic retraction, a pre-loaded hook blade or the NSF-certified all-metal version for areas with strict hygiene requirements.
