The OLFA XH-1 from the X-Design series is an extra heavy-duty utility knife for 25 mm blades with a ratchet-wheel lock. Its elastomer and glass-fibre-reinforced polypropylene handle is non-slip, acid- and acetone-resistant and transfers plenty of cutting force; it comes preloaded with an ultra-sharp Excel Black blade.
OLFA's extra heavy-duty utility knives use 25 mm wide, 0.7 mm thick snap-off blades. They handle thicker and tougher materials where an 18 mm blade reaches its limits and, according to OLFA, are designed for professional workplaces in trades, industry, warehouses and upholstery.
The large handles with anti-slip rubber or elastomer surfaces sit securely even in big hands. Depending on the model, the blade is held by a ratchet-wheel lock with continuous positioning or by Auto-Lock. Replacement blades are the HB (silver) and HBB (Excel Black) snap-off blades; with the separately available HSWB-1 saw blade, the knife can also be used as a saw.
