How to choose a stationery knife

Stationery knives are used primarily for cutting loose materials, such as paper or cardboard. Models of this type have also become widespread among builders and repairmen — tools with an increased blade thickness are produced for them.

One of the main characteristics of such knives is the width of the blade:

• 7 millimeters will be enough to cut the paper.
• When working with denser materials, a width of at least 9 mm is required.

You should pay attention to the design features of the latch, since it largely determines the convenience of working with a knife. Plastic sliding elements are common and inexpensive. But the clamps made in the form of a steel screw twist with a pressure plate are more reliable.

Few people pay attention to the material of manufacture of the guides of the cutting element. But in vain. The stability of the blade during the use of the knife largely depends on them. For comfortable processing of not only paper, but also plastic or linoleum, reliable metal guides are needed.
