With OLFA utility knives, safety is a top priority

OLFA knives
November 15, 2018

Stainless Steel Self-Retracting Safety Knife (SK-14) (shown above)

OLFA’s SK-14 Self-Retracting Safety Knife is 100 percent stainless steel making it fully metal detectable. Flush vents and an open channel design make the SK-14 easy to sanitize and National Sanitation Foundation certified. The body of the knife includes notches at the base to help improve grip and control, while the wider blade actuator lets users reveal the self-retracting blade easily, even with gloves on.

OLFA® Fiberglass-Reinforced Auto-Lock Utility Knife (LA-X)

OLFA’s 18mm LA-X utility knife is ideal for any heavy-duty cutting applications such as construction, drywall, carpet, and flooring. It features an Ultra-Sharp Black Premium blade, which is double-honed to a 59˚ edge angle to be 25 percent sharper than standard silver blades. This precise angle and initial sharpness delivers users a clean and smooth cut. It also features an ergonomic pistol-grip handle with an anti-slip rubber grip, providing users comfort and confidence. Plus the handle is chemically resistant to paint and MRO environments. The OLFA LA-X also includes a metal pick, perfect for opening paint cans, cleaning out caulk, removing light switch plate covers and more.

Fully-Automatic Safety Knife with Blade Guard (SK-6)

Make safety a priority by using OLFA’s SK-6 safety knife. The blade is shielded with a spring-activated guard that causes it to self-retract when it loses contact with the cutting surface. The knife is designed with a fiberglass-reinforced ABS handle and a convenient lanyard hole. The SK-6 comes preloaded with an RSKB safety blade and requires no tool blade change. With a 0.39-in (10mm) cutting depth this knife is equipped for cutting light to heavy-duty materials such as cardboard, packaging, film, trimmings, shrink wrap and strapping.
