9mm Snap Off Utility Knife – Key FAQs
Is this knife age restricted?
Yes. All knives and blades must be 18 years old or over to purchase and receive the products.
What does “snap-off” mean on a utility knife?
The blade is divided into segments. When the tip becomes dull, you snap off the used segment to expose a fresh sharp edge.
How many cutting edges do I get from one blade?
The knife uses an 11-segment blade, giving multiple fresh edges as you snap off worn sections.
Is this suitable for wallpapering?
Yes, the slim 9mm blade is ideal for neat trimming and detail cuts commonly needed during wallpapering and decorating.
What is the self-locking safety mechanism for?
It holds the blade securely at the chosen extension length, helping improve control and reduce blade movement while cutting.
How should I safely snap off blade segments?
Retract the blade to a safe length, snap along the scored line using a snapper or pliers, and dispose of segments in a sharps container—never loose in general waste.
Does it have a pocket clip?
Yes, it includes a pocket clip for convenient carrying and quick access.
What materials is a 9mm knife best for?
It’s best for light-duty trimming and precision work such as paper, card, thin plastics, film, and decorating tasks rather than heavy cutting.
