The Engel Hotknife (110V) is a great tool for cutting synthetic fabrics, webbing, rope and things that would ravel when cut with scissors. The controlled heat melts synthetics to provide a precise, professional-looking sealed edge. This hotknife is trigger-operated and heats up quickly (6–8 seconds). It also has a light that illuminates the cutting area. This heat cutter features a cool (temperature), comfortable hand grip and rapid cool down for increased safety. Cut on a hard surface like glass, mirror or Formica if possible for a cleaner cut.

Blades Sold Separately. There are two different cutting blades available for the Engel Hotknife. The R Blade is recommended for cutting lengths of fabric, webbing and rope, while the HSO Blade is designed for cutting sharp corners and precise detail work. Attach the Sailrite Cutting Foot while using the R Blade to eliminate the need for a special cutting surface.
