Bsc Preferred KN118 Snap-off Utility Knife Case of 50

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED KN118 is a snap-off utility knife built for repeated, reliable cutting in demanding work environments. The blade slides and locks to the desired extension height, giving the user control over reach and flexibility. Construction combines sturdy plastic and steel with an automatic blade lock to keep the blade fixed during use. A rubber grip on the handle reduces hand fatigue during extended cutting tasks. Each knife includes 3 KN218 snap blades. When a blade segment dulls, applying pressure at the scored line snaps off the worn segment, exposing a fresh, sharp edge without requiring a blade change tool.

The KN118 is suited for light to medium cutting tasks common in packaging, shipping, and general facility maintenance. Typical applications include opening corrugated boxes, scoring materials, and trimming strapping or sheeting. This product is sold as a case of 50 individual knives, making it a practical choice for facilities, warehouses, and job sites that require consistent knife availability across crews. The equivalent part number for cross-reference purposes is H-273Y.
