CUTTING EDGE SAFETY CUTTING SOLUTIONS
for a variety of users, cutting applications and work environments

Since 1950
LEADING THE EVOLUTION
OF SAFETY KNIVES
It all started with the original flat box cutter.

In 1950, Herbert Lightburn saw the need for a low-cost cutting tool that could open shipping cartons more efficiently and safely than a handheld razorblade. To meet this need, Lightburn designed the Handy Cutter, which standardized the way grocery chains opened packaged goods and quickly emerged as the preferred cutting tool for stockroom operations and shipping departments across the US.

Since then, Pacific Handy Cutter has led the innovation of safety cutting tools designed for common cutting applications in a variety of industries, including:

Retail & Grocery
Industrial & Manufacturing
Warehouse & Distribution
Foodservice
Healthcare & Pharma
