All utility knives are not created equal, and we have proof in Hyde?s SwitchBlade Ultra-Light Utility Knife. Intended for both right and left-handed users, this safety knife boasts a steel spring that can handle some seriously heavy cutting. Thanks to its controlled blade exposure, the knife allows you to precisely cut boxes and not their contents. The round-tip blade design diminishes the chance of accidental puncture wounds, and the blade automatically retracts with the release of a button. Further enhancing the knife?s safety is the fact that you can replace the blade or alter its orientation without the pesky need for tools. Hyde?s SwitchBlade Ultra-Light Utility Knife has a long blade exposure with a round-tip of 11/16-inch, is made of polypropylene, comes in a bold orange color for enhanced visibility, should only be used with round-tip blades, and includes one heavy-duty round-tip blade. See what we mean? This is one utility knife that is more than a cut above the rest.
