NAVAC Utility Knive 2-IN-1 Compact Folding Knife

The NAVAC PK2 is a compact two in one folding utility knife for general cutting tasks.

A utility knife is used constantly in this trade, for insulation, duct wrap, packaging, sealant tubes, tape, and countless small tasks, and it is also among the more frequent causes of injury on site.

Most utility knife injuries follow the same pattern. The blade is dull, so more force is applied, the blade binds or the material gives suddenly, and the knife travels toward the hand holding the work.

The counterintuitive conclusion is that a sharp blade is safer than a dull one, because it cuts with controlled force rather than requiring the operator to push hard.

The other consistent factors are cutting toward the body or the supporting hand, and cutting without a stable workpiece.

Folding designs address the storage risk. A knife carried in a pocket or pouch with the blade exposed will eventually cut something, and a folding knife that closes positively removes that.

Retracting and closing the blade after each use is a habit worth having rather than an occasional practice.

Blades are consumable and should be changed as soon as they stop cutting cleanly.

Confirm the knife suits the tasks and the blade type is readily available. Cut away from the body, keep the supporting hand clear of the blade path, and wear cut resistant gloves where the work warrants.
