Technical Specifications

Usage & Safety

The DNA WBC002 Foldable Lock Back Utility Knife is designed for professional and DIY cutting applications including automotive installations, electrical work, packaging opening, carpet trimming, and general utility tasks. Always ensure the lock back mechanism fully engages before cutting operations to prevent accidental blade closure. The push button blade release system enables safe blade changes without tools - press the release button, remove the dull blade, insert a fresh blade, and ensure proper seating before use.

Store spare blades in the internal handle compartment for convenient access during jobs. The belt/pocket clip enables secure carry during mobile installations and field service work. When folding the knife for storage, press the quick-release lock button and carefully fold the blade into the handle until it clicks into the closed position. Never force the blade or attempt to close the knife without releasing the lock mechanism.

Replace blades when cutting performance degrades or blade edges become chipped or damaged. SK5 carbon steel blades provide good edge retention but require regular replacement for optimal cutting performance. Use standard SK5 type double-ended blades (WDB010) for replacement. When one edge becomes dull, simply flip the blade to use the opposite edge before replacement, maximizing blade life and value.

Exercise caution when using any utility knife. Always cut away from your body and keep hands clear of the cutting path. Ensure proper lighting and stable work surfaces during cutting operations. Store the knife in the folded position when not in use, and keep away from children. Dispose of dull blades safely in appropriate sharps containers, never in regular waste where they could cause injury to waste handlers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many cutting edges does this knife provide?

A: The knife includes five SK5 double-ended blades (one installed, four spare), providing ten total cutting edges. Each blade has two usable edges, so you can flip the blade when one edge dulls before needing replacement. This gives you extended cutting capability before purchasing additional blades.

Q: Can I replace the blades without tools?

A: Yes, the push button blade release system enables tool-free blade changes in seconds. Simply press the release button, remove the dull blade, insert a fresh SK5 blade, and ensure it seats properly. No screwdrivers or tools are required, making blade changes fast and safe during jobs.

Q: Where do I store the spare blades?

A: The knife features an internal handle compartment that stores four spare blades. This keeps replacement blades readily accessible during work without requiring separate storage containers. The compartment protects the blades from damage and keeps them organized for quick access when needed.

Q: What are SK5 blades and where can I buy replacements?

A: SK5 refers to carbon steel blade material that provides good sharpness and edge retention for general cutting tasks. Replacement blades use standard SK5 type double-ended configuration (part number WDB010), which are widely available from tool suppliers and hardware stores. This ensures you're not locked into proprietary expensive replacement blades.

Q: Is this knife suitable for automotive installation work?

A: Yes, this knife is ideal for automotive installation work including cutting wire insulation, trimming carpet and trim panels, opening packaging for new components, and general installation material preparation. The belt/pocket clip keeps it accessible during mobile installations, while the lock back safety mechanism prevents accidents during confined-space work inside vehicles.
