Main Tools

The model 504 has no conventional knife blade. Instead it has a large number of sewing related functions, several of them exclusive to this knife.

  • One rather unique item is a rotary cutter that uses round, replaceable razor blades. On the back side of this tool is a small notch that acts as a thread cutter.
  • Alongside is a seam guide, described in more detail in the Removeable Tools section.
  • An intricate folding plastic carrier takes up two layers. It houses a number of the model 504's removeable tools.
  • On the backspring there is a hollow round awl, intended for punching lacing holes in leather or heavy fabric.
