Almost everyone knows OLFA®, the Japanese manufacturer who invented, in 1956, the trapezoidal blade with scored lines designed to be snapped to reveal a new sharpened section each time. This idea originated from a chocolate bar given to the owners during their childhood which had to be broken in sections to be eaten.
Whatever knife is used, the essential element remains the blade. OLFA® blades are made of high-quality Japanese grade carbon steel and designed for unparalleled sharpness and superior edge retention.
The OLFA® wide range of products includes heavy-duty cutting tools as well as specialties for the building industry and can be used in applications such as flooring, drywall and roofing repair.
The LA-X model is part of the X-Design series which translates into a superior cutting force for intensive and heavy-duty use. Equipped with an auto-lock 18mm (3/4") retractable blade, it features:
- Ergonomic fiberglass-reinforced heavy duty handle
- Wraparound anti-slip reinforced rubber grip for strength and comfort
- Heavy gauge stainless steel blade channel that holds and secures the blade for the toughest jobs
- Auto-lock mechanism that automatically blocks the blade for maximum security
- Fast travel and easy tool-free blade change
- Multi-pick designed to facilitate
- the removal of staples or the opening of containers
- carpeting or inserting insulation
- the making or opening of boxes without damaging the container
- Tethering hole to avoid loss
- Preloaded with UltraSharp black snap-off blade (LBB)
A quick snap and back to business again!
