More conventional than the Martego, but the broad metal handle and soft, two-sided slider work well in either hand and with gloves.

LONGEVITY

Designed for intensive use; standard replaceable blades and a magnetic, tool-free change system make routine upkeep simple. Keep the slider free of debris.
