Retractable metal detectable safety knives pull the blade back into the body the moment it is not cutting, protecting the operator, inside a detectable body that can be found if the knife is lost on the line. All four use a stainless steel blade. The ReAkta keeps the blade engaged while it senses cutting and self-retracts when it is dropped, jerked or shaken, in standard and heavy duty versions. The Mascaret extends the blade with a trigger and retracts it on release. The Profi is a general purpose knife with a thumb slide for left or right handed operators. The Smartcut is the most economical, with a spring loaded blade that retracts whenever the slider is released. Prefer a shielded blade with nothing to slide?

Protect hands with metal detectable gloves, verify your line with metal detector test pieces, or request a sample.
