Product Overview

The EP-255 top-actuated locking utility knife is designed for applications that require consistent blade exposure and precise cutting control.

Unlike self-retracting safety knives, the EP-255 features a manual locking mechanism that keeps the blade fixed in position during use. This makes it ideal for tasks requiring longer, controlled cuts without repeated blade retraction.

The top-mounted thumb slider provides smooth blade adjustment, while the ergonomic soft-touch handle ensures comfort during extended use. Built-in storage for up to five spare blades minimizes downtime, making this knife a practical solution for high-efficiency environments.
