CutiX universal knife with extendable stabilisation bar, magnesium housing, 165 mm - Knipex 90 10 165 BK

Snap-off blades break exactly when side pressure hits the exposed cutting edge. The CutiX utility knife 90 10 165 BK answers that with a variably extendable stabilisation bar that supports the blade along its length, so pressure can be applied to the back of the blade while pushing and scraping. The knife is 165 mm long and weighs around 142 g.

Benefits

• Variably extendable stabilisation bar for versatile use, faster work and precise cuts.
• Targeted pressure on the back of the blade without risk of injury, no unintentional bending or breaking of the blade.
• Robust magnesium housing, as light as plastic and as strong as die-cast aluminium, approx. 142 g in total at a length of 165 mm.
• High-quality blade locking and a hardened steel pin in the blade holder keep the blade seated while cutting, pushing and scraping.
• Suitable for standard 18 mm blade shapes, smooth, curved or hooked, with two spare blades stored in the handle drawer and changed without tools.
• Flat, separate slides for blade and stabilisation bar, and the closed rear end of the handle keeps slide and blade from slipping out.
• Attachment eyelet for tool securing with the KNIPEX Tethered Tools system.
