Pacific QBS20 Safety Knife
The Pacific QBS20 is a self-retracting safety knife built for multipurpose cutting tasks. Its automatic retracting mechanism pulls the blade back the moment the cut is finished, reducing the chance of accidental injury. A quick-change system lets you swap blades without tools, keeping downtime short. The plain-edge steel blade extends 5/8 in for a controlled cutting depth.
Quick-Change Blade System
The tool-free blade exchange means a dull edge can be replaced in seconds, so workflow stays uninterrupted. Automatic retraction removes the need to manually slide the blade back after every cut, a feature that supports safer repetitive use in packaging, warehouse or general maintenance work. The plain steel edge handles common materials such as cardboard, plastic strapping and shrink wrap.
For Repetitive Industrial Cutting
This knife suits workers who make frequent, short cuts and want the blade to retract instantly without a conscious action. It is less suited for tasks that demand a fixed, locked-out blade for heavy leverage or long continuous slices. Buyers who need a longer cutting depth or a blade that stays extended during the cut should look at a different style of cutter.

Questions about this item
How often will the steel blade need replacing on the QBS20?
The steel blade is user-replaceable via the quick-change method; swap it when the plain edge dulls from multipurpose cutting.
What stops the blade from staying exposed during a long cutting session?
The automatic retracting operation pulls the blade back inside the handle the moment you release the slider, limiting continuous exposure to the 5/8 in projection.
Does the QBS20 get hot or draw power when used all day?
No — it is a purely mechanical hand tool with no motor, battery or electronics, so it produces no heat and consumes no power.
