Key Features

Double tipped tungsten carbide blade for long working life
Designed specifically for fibre cement and cement board
Produces a clean score line for controlled snapping
Simple hand tool with no power required

Where to Use It

This knife is used when cutting fibre cement board for wall linings, wet area backing, and tile underlay. It suits bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, and other internal areas where cement sheet is commonly installed under tiles or waterproofing systems.

How to Use

Mark the cut line on the board first. Run the knife firmly along a straight edge to score the surface. Repeat the score if needed, then snap the board along the line. For best results, keep pressure even and let the carbide tip do the work rather than forcing the cut.

Appearance

Compact hand tool with a metal body and double tipped carbide scoring edge, designed to sit comfortably in the hand during repeated use.

Pro Tip

Score the board two or three times instead of pushing harder on the first pass. Multiple clean scores give a straighter snap and help avoid rough edges, especially on thicker sheets.
