Crescent CTKAR Utility Knife Snap Blade Aluminum Handle

Product Description

The CRESCENT CTKAR is a snap-blade utility knife built for trade professionals who need a reliable cutting tool on the job site. The knife features an aluminum handle measuring 7.5 inches in length with an overall tool length of 8.5 inches, giving it a solid, full-grip feel during extended use. The steel snap blade measures 1 inch in length and 1.5 inches in width with a pointed edge profile, making it well suited for precise scoring and cutting tasks. At 0.42 pounds, the CTKAR is light enough to carry all day without fatigue. Blade thickness is 0.2 inches, providing good rigidity for controlled cuts through a wide range of materials.

This utility knife is appropriate for residential and light commercial work across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general construction trades. Common applications include cutting duct board, pipe insulation, vapor barrier, wire sheathing, packaging materials, and sheet goods. The snap-blade design allows the tech to break off a dull blade segment in the field, restoring a sharp edge without changing out the full blade. The orange and black handle coloring improves visibility on busy job sites and in tool bags.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. When replacing or snapping a blade segment, always direct the blade away from the body and use the snap-off channel or a blade-disposal container to contain loose segments. Keep blades retracted when the knife is not in active use. Dispose of used blade segments in a puncture-resistant sharps or blade disposal container in accordance with local job site safety requirements.
