Olfa AK-1/5B Art Knife Yellow 16

Precision Art Knife for Detailed Work

The Olfa AK-1/5B is a pen-type art knife designed for precise, delicate cuts in general craft applications. Its straight steel blade measures 1 3/4 inches in length and offers superior sharpness for fine detail work. The yellow plastic handle features a contoured grip with textured surfaces for comfort and stability during use. This tool suits artists and hobbyists who need controlled cutting accuracy.

Consistent Cutting Performance

The straight steel blade edge maintains its sharpness through extended cutting sessions without the performance drop seen in serrated alternatives. A 1/4 inch handle diameter and 6 inch handle length provide balanced leverage for sustained control across repetitive motions. The contoured grip design reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use, allowing steady precision from first cut to last. Blade geometry supports clean slicing rather than tearing on paper, card and similar materials.

Durable Construction for Daily Use

Yellow ABS plastic handle construction resists cracking and wear from regular handling in studio environments. The contoured grip shape fits naturally in the hand, while textured surfaces prevent slipping even with light pressure. A 16 millimetre blade diameter suits standard replacement blades for easy maintenance. Pen-style format allows convenient storage in tool rolls or pencil cases without blade exposure risk. Plastic handle material cleans easily with standard solvents used in art workflows.
