Retracting-Blade Precision Knives

A retracting blade prevents accidental cuts and allows you to store these knives in your pocket.

Style A knives have a corrosion-resistant ceramic blade that stays sharp up to 10 times longer than metal blades. Use these knives when making extremely small cuts and creating intricate shapes. Similar to a ball-point pen, you push a clip to extend or retract the blade.

To use Style B, slide a button to extend or retract the blade.
