Product Information
Full details
The Slice 10400 Manual Box Cutter is a reliable, high-durability tool designed for professionals and home users who need a safe and efficient way to open single and double-walled corrugated cardboard. Its primary benefit is a specialized, long-lasting zirconium ceramic blade that remains sharp significantly longer than traditional metal while being completely rust-proof, though users should note its 2 mm maximum cutting capacity limit for heavy-duty materials.

FAQs
Does the blade ever need sharpening?
No, the zirconium ceramic blade is designed to last much longer than metal and does not require traditional sharpening.
Can I use this on materials thicker than 2 mm?
The Slice 10400 is rated for a 2 mm cutting capacity; attempting to cut thicker material may damage the blade or the handle slider.
Is the blade conductive?
No, zirconium oxide is a non-conductive, non-sparking, and chemically inert material.
How do I replace the blade safely?
Follow the manual instruction to unlock the blade chamber. Since the blade is rounded and safety-focused, it is safer to handle than a sharpened metal razor.
Is the handle dishwasher safe?
We recommend hand washing with a damp cloth to protect the internal mechanical components of the slider.
Troubleshooting
Blade slider feels stiff
Check the blade channel for built-up adhesive or debris and clear it with a dry cloth.
Blade seems dull
Wipe the blade surface to remove residue; ceramic blades often appear dull due to material buildup rather than actual edge degradation.
Difficulty in retracting the blade
Ensure the slider path is free of obstructions and that the internal spring mechanism is not blocked by cardboard dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Slice 10400 is straightforward, as it arrives ready for immediate use. When you need to change the blade, simply slide the manual button to the fully retracted position and follow the manufacturer's tool-free mechanism to swap it out. To maintain the tool, keep the blade clean by wiping it with a soft cloth after cutting adhesive-heavy materials. Since the blade is made of zirconium oxide, avoid using it as a pry bar or screwdriver, as extreme lateral pressure can cause the ceramic to chip or break. Store the device in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the ABS plastic handle.
