Knife Bahco NP-12-VEN 30 cm

The Bahco NP-12-VEN 30 cm knife features a satin steel 30 cm blade designed for precise cutting of plasterboard and plastic. With a total weight of approximately 240 g and a two-tone black and orange ergonomic handle, this hand tool balances maneuverability and control for professional tradespeople and DIY users. The design emphasizes a slim profile and a long cutting edge to achieve clean, straight cuts in construction and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The satin-finished blade resists glare and helps produce smooth cuts through drywall and plastic sheeting. At around 240 g, the knife is light enough for extended use without excessive fatigue while the ergonomic black and orange handle provides a secure grip and improved control. The 30 cm blade length permits longer, continuous cuts, reducing the need for multiple passes and improving work speed and accuracy.

Suitable for

• Cutting plasterboard (drywall) sheets to size
• Scoring and trimming plastic panels and sheets
• Renovation and construction site cutting tasks
• DIY projects requiring long, straight cuts

Key specifications

• Blade length: 30 cm
• Blade finish: satin steel
• Approximate weight: 240 g
• Handle: ergonomic two-tone black and orange grip
• Primary uses: plasterboard and plastic cutting

How to use

Position the plasterboard or plastic sheet on a stable surface. Hold the knife by its ergonomic handle and align the 30 cm blade along the intended cutting line. Apply steady pressure and draw the blade smoothly along the board to score or complete the cut, using the long blade to produce continuous, straight cuts. For thick or dense materials, make controlled multiple passes rather than forcing the blade in one movement. Keep fingers clear of the cutting edge and maintain an appropriate cutting angle for best results.

Recommendations

Regularly inspect the blade for wear and replace or sharpen as needed to maintain cutting quality. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting plasterboard or plastic. Store the knife in a safe, dry place to prevent corrosion and protect the blade edge.
