The Easysafe Safety Knife Sack Opener (http://www.martorusa.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1720/.fsc=5's38;category=9)
features a patented cutting head design allowing for easy initiation of the cut while maintaining blade contact with the material, even on single layers of film or paper. The piercing
point allows for insertion of the cutter into all types of paper, plastic or multi-wall sacks. It works great for pallet wrapping too.
This cutter features an integrated replaceable tape slitter on the head of the knife which safely cuts packaging tape, eliminating the need for the typical exposed blade. The unit allows
for an easy blade change - no tools required. The blade is rectangular in shape and can be used 4 times for economy. Optionally, the cutter is capable of being locked with a special key
so that blade changing can be done only by authorized personnel. The Easysafe is GS-Tested for Safety
The Easysafe Safety Sack Opener will help to dramatically reduce accidents in industrial manufacturing plants and warehouses, where safety is the number one priority. For more

This innovative safety cutter has been recognized with this award together other leading products in the plastic industry made by Tupperware, LEGO and Braun, who were also winners of this
competition, but in different product categories.
