Cutting-edge knife safety transforms the design and technology classroom, Safety is a top priority in every design and technology classroom.

Automatically retracting blade knives are helping to change that. These innovative tools extend only when pressure is applied and retract instantly when released, dramatically reducing the risk of accidental cuts. For teachers, this means greater confidence in letting students work independently and safely. Key benefits for the...
