Utility Knives & Safety Knives for Left Handed People
The blade of the Martor safety knife can be released in different ways. With a squeeze grip, the blade can be released particularly easily on the underside of the handle. As an alternative to the squeeze grip, 3-, 2- or 1-sided sliders are used. Here, the blade is advanced sideways either via two or one slider.
The 2-sided sliders in particular are suitable for both left-handed and right-handed users. Knives equipped with this mechanism can be used by different people. Utility knives with 1-sided sliders would have to have the blade turned around before they could be used by left-handers without restrictions.
3-sided sliders, like 2-sided sliders, have two side sliders. This means that these models can also be used by left- and right-handers. In addition, they have a third slide on the handle, which increases the safety of the knife. This makes it more difficult to accidentally release the blade.
