Sterling 418-1 Protector Fixed Knife

The Sterling Protector 418-1 is a fixed knife with a spring loaded safety pin that protects the blade edge when the knife is not in use, a die cast metal handle and a 4 edge blade (manufacturer-stated).

Sterling states that the blade edge is protected by the spring loaded safety pin when not in use, or if cutting edge contact is lost, and that the blade cover can be turned around when not in use for additional storage safety. The blade is changed without tools, and square cornered or round cornered blades are available (manufacturer-stated).

The catalogue lists 418-1 as carded, with a box quantity of 12 and a carton quantity of 120. Its blade selection guide (catalogue page 41) lists the carton opener blades 451-040 (square cornered) and 451-040R (round cornered) for the 418 knife.

Choose the blade corner style when ordering blades: 451-040 is square cornered and 451-040R is round cornered, and the catalogue lists both for the 418-1. The same blades are listed for the Sterling 100R auto retracting carton cutter. For a fixed knife with a dial blade change see the Sterling Shark 105-2.
