Description
This folding knife is a knife designed for mechanical cutting work, with an overall open length of 190 mm. The blade is made of stainless steel (SS), which guarantees high corrosion resistance and mechanical tensile strength in demanding conditions. The closed length of the knife is 110 mm, which makes the design very compact to carry.
The hardness of the knife blade is 58 HRC (Rockwell scale), which means excellent edge retention even when cutting abrasive materials. The cutting edge is 75 mm long. The mechanism is protected by a reliable safety lock that prevents the blade folding unintentionally during work steps that require force.
The body parts of the handle are steel and aluminium. This choice of materials keeps the total weight of the tool low but ensures structural rigidity under sideways twisting. The metal handle also withstands solvents, oils and the large temperature variations that occur in installation environments.
The product identification code is YT-76051. It is designed to meet the stress requirements of installation and maintenance work, offering linear cutting force and a long life without regular maintenance.
Intended use and suitability:
Thanks to its mechanical durability (58 HRC), the tool suits materials that require high surface pressure and structural integrity of the blade.
- Cutting packaging materials and ties: The knife’s 75 mm stainless steel blade reliably cuts through thick cardboard, pallet wrap and thick cable ties without the blade deforming.
- Electrical and installation work: The combination of aluminium handle and steel gives a precise feel for stripping cables and cutting insulation, with the safety lock keeping the blade steady.
- Maintenance: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel (SS) allows use in damp and oily conditions, making it an optimal cutting tool for continuous stress.
Package contents:
The product is supplied as a ready-to-use mechanical unit.

Yato folding knife 190 mm stainless steel 58 HRC instructions for use:
Open the knife by pulling the blade out of the handle until you hear the safety lock click into place at the 190 mm length. Check visually and by testing that the blade cannot turn back towards the handle.
Always cut away from your body and hold the workpiece firmly in place. Use the full length of the 75 mm blade to get an even cut and a clean incision.
Fold the knife by turning the locking latch inside the handle to the side, which frees the path of the blade. Turn the blade carefully back into the handle to the 110 mm carrying length. Clean oil and dirt off the stainless steel blade and the aluminium handle regularly to ensure a long life.
Warnings:
The product contains mechanical cutting surfaces and moving parts.
- Sharp blade: 58 HRC hardened blade: extremely sharp, with a serious risk of cuts on skin contact.
- Checking the lock: Always make sure the safety lock has engaged before applying cutting force to the workpiece.
- No electrical insulation: The steel and aluminium body conducts electricity; the tool must not be used for handling live components.
- Pinching hazard: Keep your fingers out of the path of the blade when folding the knife to avoid injury.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
How does a hardness of 58 HRC affect the sharpening and edge retention of the Yato folding knife?
A value of 58 HRC (Rockwell scale) represents hard steel, which keeps the blade sharp for a long time under abrasive stress. Because of the hardness, sharpening requires a good-quality diamond or ceramic sharpener; sharpening with a traditional whetstone is considerably slower.
Does the aluminium and steel handle withstand strong industrial solvents and oils?
Yes. The body of the tool consists only of steel and aluminium, so it is completely immune to most solvents, chemicals and lubricants and does not become brittle during mechanical cleaning.
Can the blade lock be released with one hand during installation?
The lock can be released with one hand by pressing the internal locking latch with your thumb, but the safest and most controlled closing is achieved with a two-handed technique.
Recycling instructions:
When the tool has reached the end of its life, recycle it in full as metal waste, because the body consists only of steel and aluminium. Sort the retail packaging of the product into cardboard or plastic collection depending on the material, according to local instructions.
