Utility Knife – Retractable Blade – Tolsen

The Tolsen Utility Knife with Retractable Blade (SKU: TOL30008) is a lightweight, everyday cutting tool designed for general household, workshop, and packaging tasks. Unlike a fixed-blade knife, the retractable design lets you draw the blade back into the body when not in use, making it a safer option to carry, store in a drawer, or hand to someone else without risking an accidental cut.

Built with an aluminium alloy body, the knife stays light in the hand while remaining sturdy enough for regular use. The blade itself is made from SK5 steel, a high-carbon tool steel chosen for its ability to hold a sharp edge through repeated cutting. It uses a quick-change mechanism, so swapping in a fresh blade takes just a moment when the current one starts to dull, no tools or fiddly disassembly required.

This model uses the same 61mm x 19mm SK5 blade as Tolsen’s TOL30108 fixed-blade utility knife, meaning replacement blades are shared across both tools. If you already stock TOL30108 blades for another knife in your kit, they’ll fit this one too, keeping things simple when it’s time to restock and reducing the need to carry multiple blade types for different tools.

A useful extra is the built-in string cutter, a small notch that makes it easy to snip cord, tape, or twine without needing to expose the full blade, adding a bit of everyday versatility beyond straightforward slicing. Combined with its retractable safety feature, this makes the knife a sensible choice for environments where the blade may need to be exposed and hidden away repeatedly throughout the day, such as warehouses, retail stock rooms, or busy workshops.
