MARTOR Safety IndexPaper Life uses the MARTOR UK Safety Index for categorising the inherent safety of individual knives; 10 = a lethal weapon, 6 = a minimal safety feature, 1 = safest. Paper Life only markets knives with designed safety features i.e. with a safety index of 1 to 6 and the majority are 1 to 4. More information on the MARTOR Safety Index is available.
