This knife is designed for compatibility with standard single-edge utility knife blades. For best results, use quality blades.

What is the primary benefit of the textured grip?

Troubleshooting

Blade slider is stiff or won't move

Clean the slider mechanism with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Ensure no old blade fragments are obstructing movement. If stiffness persists, a light application of lubricant might help, but use sparingly.

Blade not locking securely

Ensure you are using a standard-sized utility blade and that it is fully inserted. Check the blade release mechanism for any damage or obstructions. If the issue persists, the mechanism may need service or replacement.

Onboard blade storage is difficult to open

Ensure the compartment is fully cleared of any debris. Try opening it with a firm, steady pull. If it remains difficult, check for any misalignments in the compartment door.
