I. What is a cutter?
1. The birth of the cutter
Few people know that the idea of creating a box cutter was inspired by breakable chocolate and sharp pieces of broken glass that can cut easily.
In 1956, Mr. Yoshio Okada created the world's first snap-on knife. Thanks to its compactness and convenience, today the knife has become popular all over the world.

2. Structure of the cutter
The structure of a utility knife consists of a sharp blade attached to the inside of a handle or shaft to hold and control the cutting.
The cutter blade in the handle is pushed out or retracted by a flexible push pin on the knife body. The cutter blade comes in a variety of sizes and shapes to suit different cutting needs.
On the knife body there is a protective pin to help fix the blade when removed from the knife body, helping the user to operate easily without worrying about the blade shifting during work.

II. Notes when using a cutter
1. How to choose a cutter
Cutters are designed in many different sizes and materials, from thin blades suitable for office and craft work to large blades, made from hard and durable materials suitable for cutting harder materials such as cardboard, plastic...
Depending on the purpose of use, you can choose a knife with the appropriate size and material.

2. Safety notes when using a cutter
- Always use the safety catch when using a knife to ensure the blade does not slip during use, otherwise it may cause dangerous cuts or inaccurate cutting.
- When the knife becomes dull, you can replace the blade with a new one or break the dull blade. When breaking the blade, use the locking pin to break it and operate very carefully to avoid injury.
- Old broken blades must be carefully wrapped and put in the trash to avoid others holding or stepping on them, which can be very dangerous, especially rusty blades.
- When using a knife, hold the knife firmly and operate slowly, avoiding moving too quickly, which can be dangerous for the user.
- After using the knife, the blade should be retracted and the safety latch locked. The knife should be placed in a toolbox or cabinet to prevent children from accessing it and accidentally injuring themselves.
- Additionally, purchasing a quality utility knife will also ensure your safety. Poor quality knives are ineffective and can be dangerous to the user.
