The C20 model is ideal for standard sheets up to 10 mm, while the C24 is designed for thicker ropes up to 20 mm. When cutting heavy-duty fibers: Hold the blade perpendicular to the surface and make a quick, clean cut – no sawing! The ceramic blade is extremely sharp but also brittle. Avoid lateral stress or cutting on hard surfaces such as metal or stone. It's best to work on a wooden board or cutting mat. After cutting, you can seal the ends with a hot wire cutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e ⚠️ Important\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eCeramic blades are \u003cstrong\u003eextremely sharp but also brittle\u003c\/strong\u003e . Use the knife only for cutting rope and cordage—not as a lever or for any other purpose. Do not drop the knife, as the ceramic blade can break upon impact. Never cut on hard surfaces such as metal, stone, or concrete. Always store the knife with the provided blade guard. Ceramic blades cannot be resharpened using conventional methods—if necessary, the blade must be professionally sharpened or replaced. Keep the knife out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Ideal for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Regatta sailors with Dyneema rigging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Professional riggers and riggers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Sailmakers and ropemakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Yacht owners with high-performance ropes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Boat builders and shipyards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Anyone who needs precise cuts on high-performance fibers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Perfect complement\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe D-SPLICER ceramic knife is the ideal complement to D-SPLICER splicing needles, splicing fids, and other hollow splicing tools.
