Operating Instructions

2. To retract the blade: Twist the upper knurled section clockwise until the blade is fully enclosed within the aluminum alloy case. Ensure it is securely closed before carrying.
3. For cutting: Use the ceramic blade for light cutting tasks such as opening packages, letters, or tape. Apply gentle, controlled pressure.

Maintenance

• Storage: Always store the knife with the blade fully retracted in its case. Keep it in a dry place.
• Blade Care: The ceramic blade is rust-free. Avoid dropping the knife, as ceramic can be brittle and may chip or break upon impact.

Troubleshooting

• Blade does not extend/retract smoothly: Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism. Ensure the twisting motion is firm but not forced.
• Blade appears dull: Ceramic blades retain sharpness for a long time. If cutting performance degrades, inspect the blade for damage or chips. Replacement blades are not typically user-replaceable for this model.
