DESIGN & ERGONOMICS
The generously sized grooved slider is unusually good with gloves; the clean, purpose-built aluminium form looks industrial rather than ornamental.
LONGEVITY
The aluminium shell and replaceable steel/ceramic blades support long service. Clean dust from the slider and do not defeat the return spring.
