WEDO Safety Cutter STANDARD — Fully Automatic Blade Retraction Plus an Integrated Foil Cutter

Blade retracts even if you hold the sliderIntegrated foil and strap cutterSK5 trapezoid blade, 15 mm extensionTUV/GS tested

The WEDO Safety Cutter STANDARD (article number 78 805) is a lightweight safety knife whose spring-loaded SK5 trapezoid blade withdraws into the body by itself the moment the cut ends — and, unlike most cutters in this class, it retracts even if the slider is still being held down. A second protected blade at the rear opens shrink film, cords and strapping without exposing an edge at all, and a safety lock blocks the slider when the tool is not in use. At 158 x 36 x 21 mm and about 58 g it is the lightest and most affordable safety cutter WEDO makes.

Compatibility — check before buying:
Two points worth knowing before you buy. First, the housing is ABS plastic, not metal or aluminium — that is what keeps it at 58 g and keeps the price down; for a metal or aluminium body look at the 78 808 ALU Basic, 78 815 PREMIUM or 78 837 PLUS. Second, WEDO does not state how many blades are supplied with this model and there is no blade magazine in the handle, so order a pack of trapezoid spares alongside it: WEDO 78 81 or 78 82, both 61 x 19 mm SK5, ten per box. The blade can be re-mounted for left-handed use.

Best For

✓ Warehouse, stockroom and goods-in
✓ Opening cartons, shrink film and strapping
✓ Retail back-of-house and reception
✓ Left-handed users — the blade is reversible

Key Features

 
Retracts even with the slider held
Most spring-loaded cutters only return when you release the slider. WEDO states explicitly that this blade withdraws after the cut even if the slider is not let go — the safety behaviour does not depend on the user remembering to release it.
 
Integrated foil and strap cutter
A protected blade at the rear of the body slices shrink film, cord and strapping without any exposed edge. It is the feature that separates the STANDARD from the 78 808, 78 815 and 78 820, none of which have one.
 
Safety lock and tool-free blade change
A safety catch blocks the blade from being advanced while the cutter is stored or carried. To change the blade you push the slider forward and fold it back — no screwdriver, no disassembly.
 
Light, reversible and hangable
At approximately 58 g in an ABS body with a rubberised grip zone, this is the cutter people actually keep in a pocket or apron. The blade re-mounts for left-handers and the body has a hanging hole for a tool board.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the blade really retract on its own?
Yes, and more thoroughly than most. WEDO states that the spring-loaded trapezoid blade returns into the body after the cut even if the slider is still being held down, so the blade is not left exposed because someone kept their thumb on the control. A separate safety lock stops the slider being pushed forward at all during storage.
What is the foil cutter for?
It is a small protected blade at the back of the body for opening shrink film, plastic strapping and cord. Because the edge sits inside a slot you can cut wrapping on a pallet without an exposed blade near the goods — the main reason to choose this model over the otherwise similar 78 808 ALU Basic.
Which spare blades fit, and are any included?
It uses standard WEDO trapezoid blades: 78 81 or 78 82, 61 x 19 mm SK5 carbon steel, ten to a box. WEDO does not publish how many blades ship with the cutter and there is no magazine in the handle, so buy a pack of spares with it if the tool will see daily use.
Is this suitable for left-handed users?
Yes. WEDO states the blade can be re-mounted for left-hand use, so the same tool serves both. If you want a cutter that is set up for left-handers out of the box, the dedicated WEDO Left-handed Cutter 78 820 is the alternative.
Singular Expert Insight
The STANDARD is the value entry point to WEDO’s safety cutter line and, thanks to the rear foil cutter, it is also the most useful of them in a goods-in or stockroom role where most of the work is opening wrapped pallets and cartons. What you trade away is body material and blade storage: the 78 808 ALU Basic gives you an aluminium shell and two spare blades in a magazine, the 78 845 PROFI adds a three-stage depth wheel, and the 78 850 PROFI PLUS lets you switch between automatic retraction and a locked multi-stop. At around 58 g in ABS, none of them will be as light. Find our full range of cutters, blades and desk tools in the Stationery category.

Buyer’s Guide

Buy it if

You open cartons, shrink film and strapping all day and want a certified self-retracting blade plus a protected foil cutter in the lightest, least expensive body WEDO offers.

Skip it if

You want a metal or aluminium housing, an on-board blade magazine or an adjustable cutting depth — this is the plastic entry model with no depth wheel and no stated blade count.

Also consider

The 78 808 ALU Basic for an aluminium body with two spare blades in a magazine, the 78 845 PROFI for a 9/15/25 mm depth wheel, or the 78 820 Left-handed Cutter if it will be used mainly left-handed.
