The knife is equipped with a One Way Lock blade lock mechanism - which prevents the blade from being pulled out of the handle in case of jamming in the material being cut. This type of lock allows the blade to retract into the guide in case of an unexpected encounter with an obstacle, such as when the tool falls to the floor or when putting the knife in a pocket. The design of the tool and the quality of its workmanship result in a tool of high utility.
The Excel Black blade is guided in a stainless steel metal slide. The design of the slide allows easy extension and retraction of the blade, while at the same time it locks the position of the blade during operation with sufficient force. The knife's handle is made of durable, high-quality plastic (ABS). A ferrule at the end of the knife prevents accidental ejection of the blade during retraction, and at the same time serves to break off worn segments.
NOTE
OLFA blades are extremely sharp. Take extra care when cutting and replacing the blade. Used blades can also be dangerous - before throwing them away, protect them using, for example, the containers in which new blades are delivered, or use special OLFA DC-2 and DC-4 containers.
Keep knives and blades out of reach of children !
