How to Use

• Check Compatibility: Confirm your utility knife is one of the compatible models (30007, 30008, 30019, or 30108) before changing the blade.

• Retract the Blade: Slide the blade carrier fully back into the knife body so the old blade is safely retracted.

• Remove the Old Blade: Open the knife casing as directed by your model's instructions and carefully remove the worn blade. Dispose of it safely.

• Insert the New Blade: Take a fresh blade from the dispenser box and slide it into the carrier channel until it seats firmly.

• Test Before Use: Extend the blade to your preferred position, lock it in place, and make a test cut on scrap material to confirm it is seated correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• How often should you change a utility knife blade?
  Change the blade as soon as it starts to drag rather than cut cleanly. For regular use, this can mean every few hours of cutting. A dull blade requires more force, which increases the risk of slipping.

• What is SK5 steel and is it good for cutting?
  SK5 is a high-carbon tool steel with a carbon content of around 0.9%. It takes a sharp edge well and holds it longer than standard carbon steel, making it a typical choice for utility and craft blades.

• How thick are the blades?
  Each blade is 0.6mm thick. This gives a good balance of rigidity and cutting ability for general-purpose work.

• How many blades come in the pack?
  Each pack contains 10 replacement blades, supplied in a plastic dispenser box with a colour sticker label.

• How do you dispose of used utility knife blades safely?
  Never place loose blades in general waste. Wrap spent blades in heavy tape or card before throwing them away, or use a dedicated sharps container. Some local recycling centres accept metal blades separately.
