Frequently Asked Questions
What can the Utility Knife cut?
Plastic and cardboard. It is strong enough to cut through both, so it handles the card and plastic parts of science and technology projects.
Why does it have a retractable blade?
For safety. The blade can be drawn back into the knife when it is not being used, so the cutting edge is not left exposed on the bench or in a tray.
How is it different from the JLab Trimming Knife?
The Trimming Knife is a separate item with a die-cast aluminium handle, a three-position retractable blade and blade storage in the handle. The Utility Knife is the retractable-blade knife for plastic and cardboard in school project work.
What information is needed for an export quotation?
Send the quantity, the destination country and port or city, your preferred delivery terms (for example FOB or CIF), any packing or labelling requirements, and the tender reference if you are buying against a tender.
Who manufactures the Utility Knife?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a school lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The utility knives are produced at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so schools, dealers and importers order factory-direct, every knife is checked by eye before it is packed, and repeat orders return to the maker. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — the UK in Western Europe, Samoa in Oceania, Afghanistan in South Asia, Canada in North America and Mongolia in East Asia, for example.
