Left-handed highlights

The auto-lock slider is positioned on top, so the blade can be extended naturally with either hand without reversing the blade. The triangular grip also provides stable control for precise cutting.

A note from HIDARI

We like this one for the jobs where a standard utility knife feels too rough. The sharp 30-degree tip makes it easy to see exactly where you’re cutting, which is especially useful for paper crafts, model-making, and other detailed work.

Precision Cutting for Crafting and Model-Making

Featuring a finely honed 30-degree blade tip, this utility knife is perfect for delicate tasks like model-making, crafting, and intricate detail work. Its sharp edge allows for precise cuts on various materials, helping you achieve clean lines and fine finishes.

 

Comfortable and Versatile for Both Right and Left-Handed Users

The auto-lock slider sits on top of the body rather than on one side, so both left- and right-handed users can extend the blade with the same natural motion. The reverse-triangular body also provides a stable, pen-like grip for detailed cutting.

 

Award-Winning Japanese Design

Thoughtfully developed in Japan, this utility knife has earned the prestigious Good Design Award, recognized for its blend of functionality and refined aesthetics. It’s a tool that seamlessly combines practicality with an elegant design, enhancing your workspace.

 

Small Details for Precise Work

A transparent clamp helps reduce blade movement while cutting, and a small line-cutter groove at the tip lets you cut thread even while the main blade is retracted. Dedicated 30-degree replacement blades are also available separately.
