Makedo Safe-Saw, the cardboard saw with no sharp edges
Steel blade with no sharp edges to swiftly saw cardboard, not fingers. Best of all, the cut edge of the cardboard is softened to eliminate those pesky cardboard paper cuts. We don’t call it the Safe-Saw for nothing!
How to use the Safe-Saw: reverse the tool to punch holes as a cutting guide-line if you need. The graded serrations allow you to easily saw any thickness of cardboard with a forward and backwards motion. Makedo’s tip: never towards the face.
Key Features

- Not a cutting blade: it will not cut with the material laid flat, as a box cutter would
- The softened edge it leaves reduces paper cuts
- Reverse end punches guide holes
- Needs no sharpening or modification over time
- Saws any thickness of corrugated cardboard

Makedo questions
Is the Safe-Saw safe? Can it cut skin?
Makedo describes the Safe-Saw as a steel blade with no sharp edges, made to saw cardboard, not fingers. It moves through cardboard by making small micro-tears rather than slicing, so it will not cut material laid flat the way a box cutter does, and the softened edge it leaves reduces paper cuts. Makedo’s tip: never saw towards the face.
How do I use it?
Saw with a forward and backward motion; the graded serrations handle any thickness of cardboard. Reverse the tool to punch holes as a cutting guide line, says Makedo.
How durable are Makedo tools?
The Safe-Saw and Fold-Roller have high grade stainless steel blades that, Makedo says, need no sharpening over time. The tools and screws are reusable, and Makedo says every version of the Scru since 2013 works with today’s tools. Makedo does not publish a warranty period.
What age is Makedo for?
Makedo recommends the system for ages 5 and up, and every Makedo product is independently safety tested to an age grading of 3+. In Makedo’s words, children aged 4+ can make with the assistance of an adult, and children aged 7+ can make independently.
