Frequently asked questions
Is this the same model as the CB-8?
The CB-8Z is the successor to the CB-8. It measures 203 mm, weighs 190 g and has a hard-chrome-plated blade. This page is for the new CB-8Z.
Does it suit different hand sizes?
Its ergonomic design is intended for all hand sizes. The low weight and one-hand locking mechanism support convenient everyday handling.
Does the chrome-plated blade still need maintenance?
Yes. Remove residues after use, dry the blades and keep the pivot lightly lubricated. The plating provides protection, but it does not replace regular tool care.
Can I replace the blade?
Yes, the construction allows the blade and other components to be replaced. Choose spare parts explicitly listed as compatible with the CB-8Z; do not assume that parts for the older CB-8 will fit.
