Product Information
Full details
The Irwin Snap-Off Retractable Knife is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require precision cutting for tasks like trimming, scoring, or light-duty material removal. Its primary benefit is the self-locking blade mechanism that ensures stability during use, though users should be mindful that the 9mm blade size is better suited for light to medium materials rather than heavy-duty construction tasks.

Does this knife come with spare blades?
The knife comes pre-loaded with a blade; spare 9mm snap-off blades are sold separately.
Can I use standard utility blades with this?
No, this model is specifically designed for 9mm snap-off style blades only.
How do I replace the blade?
Slide the blade carriage all the way back, remove the end-cap, slide the old blade out, and insert a new one through the rear of the unit.
Is the handle metal or plastic?
The Irwin snap-off knife uses a durable, lightweight housing designed for long-term professional use.
Is this tool dishwasher safe?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Irwin knife, ensure the blade is correctly seated in the track before sliding it forward. When the cutting edge loses its sharpness, remove the end-cap from the back of the knife to snap off the used segment; always ensure the segment is discarded into a sharps container. Keep the internal track clear of debris by occasionally blowing out dust to ensure the slider operates smoothly. The knife is compatible with standard 9mm replacement snap-off blades. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent rust on the metal components.
