The versatility and toughness of the OLFA 25mm XH-1 Fiberglass-Reinforced Ratchet-Lock Utility Knife make it the perfect go-to for every job. The reinforced fiberglass body offers durability but remains lightweight in hand. A non-slip rubber grip extends around the body for extra comfort.

The XH-1 comes loaded with an Ultra-Sharp Black Snap Blade. Dual honed for sharpness, this blade is 25% sharper than standard OLFA silver blades. Maintained by a stainless-steel channel, this thicker blade provides added leverage for any task. The ratchet-action dial allows for easy blade extension to unlimited cutting depths. A simple tool-free blade exchange means no time wasted installing a new blade.

The holders and handles that allow users to gain the full cutting performance of these high-quality blades are designed, developed and manufactured in Japan and subjected to stringent quality checks throughout the process.

The name Olfa comes from two Japanese words meaning "to break a blade." In 1956 they invented the snap off utility blade after founder Yoshio Okada was inspired by breaking pieces off a chocolate bar, and by the snap edges of broken glass. This snap off blade design has been copied and used around the world, but the Olfa quality standard cannot be duplicated. In 1979 Olfa also introduced the world's first rotary cutter, great for fabric, the blade rolls along, cutting as it goes.
