The GR8 Primo is without doubt, the most versatile Safety Knife that you can purchase. When the original GR8 safety knife was introduced in 1996, its patented 'moving action' blade heralded a brand new era in safety knife versatility.
The patented 'Moving Edge' mechanism is fitted to all our GR8 range of safety knives. The principle is that the GR8 safety knife allows the blade to move in a slicing action whilst the safety knife cuts. This action reduces snagging during the cut and requires significantly less force than a fixed blade cutter. An additional benefit is the area of contact between the material cut and the blade edge is extended which in turn reduces blade wear.
The 'Moving Edge' is patented technology and is only available in New Zealand, through Safety Knives Ltd.
Because the GR8 Primo has been designed with a finger safe gap, you cannot cut plastic or thin film like materials, which are wrapped tightly around a roller, or tightened cable straps.

It really depends on the type of material that you are cutting. Pallet wrap is quite soft whereas cardboard is abrasive. The more you cut abrasive materials, the sooner the blade will blunt. However it should be remembered that due to the moving action of the blade, it will last up to four times longer than a conventional blade. As the blade becomes blunt, it automatically moves to a sharper section.
When used correctly, the 'GR8 Primo' safety knife is one of the safest knives available. The blade is enclosed within a 5mm finger-safe gap so it is almost impossible to cut yourself. A wealth of information on the correct use and safety aspects of the 'GR8 Primo' can be found on this website. If you cannot find the answer you're looking for, please Contact Us.
Banding straps should be cut at a 45 degree angle along its length, don't cut at 90 degrees across the strap, as it will tend to just bend towards you without cutting.
