Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of blades does this knife use?

It is compatible with standard 9mm or 18mm heavy-duty snap-off utility blades, which are widely available globally. We recommend using high-carbon steel blades for optimal performance on vinyl flooring.

Is it suitable for cutting rigid core luxury vinyl plank?

Absolutely. The multi-position lock allows for a deep, firm scoring cut. After scoring the rigid core LVP deeply, it can be cleanly snapped along the line. For very thick rigid core products, multiple scoring passes may be recommended.

Can this knife be used for materials other than vinyl flooring?

Yes. While optimized for vinyl, it is an excellent general-purpose heavy-duty utility knife for carpet, linoleum, underlayment, cardboard, and other packaging materials.

Do you offer sample orders?

Yes, we provide sample orders for qualified B2B buyers, distributors, and procurement teams so you can evaluate the tool's quality and ergonomics firsthand before committing to a larger purchase.

What are the packaging options for bulk orders?

We offer flexible packaging: individual retail clamshells, multi-packs for tool kits, or simple bulk poly bags for cost-effective shipping. Custom branding on packaging is available for OEM clients.
