Tajima Knives
Tajima Utility Knives, Snap-Off Blades, and Drywall Tools
Tajima knives center on snap-off cutters. Rock Hard and Aluminist knives come with auto or dial blade locks, alongside Premium Cutter, Rock Hard Fin, Precision Craft, and heavy duty models. The VR-Series adds retractable, fixed, and safety knives, and the VARIX is a folding knife. Blade packs include Rock Hard, Endura-Blade, Razar Black, and V-Rex II. The collection also carries a drywall rasp and chamfer planes.
What to Look For
- Blade lock. Auto locks hold on their own. Dial locks clamp the blade tight for heavy cuts.
- Blade width. Buy refills in the width your handle takes.
- Blade edge. Razar Black and Rock Hard blades are the sharper premium options, and Endura-Blade suits general cutting.
- Drywall work. The rasp and 45-degree chamfer planes clean and bevel cut edges.

Tajima Knives FAQ
Auto lock or dial lock?
An auto lock knife holds the blade as you slide it out, which is quick for light cuts. A dial lock knife lets you crank the blade tight, so it stays put through roofing, carpet, and other heavy material.
Why snap-off blades?
Each blade has scored segments. When the tip dulls, snap it off for a fresh edge without changing blades. It keeps cuts clean through drywall, film, and cardboard with less downtime.
