2-Facet: A good balance of sharpness and durability. Primarily for scraping and basic cutting.
3-Facet: Precision ground third angle increases sharpness. Used for thin or delicate material.
Stainless Steel: Best for precise applications where corrosion can be an issue, such as cleanroom environments. Provides precise initial cut.
Carbon Steel: Durable for tougher and harder material. Best for scraping applications.
Plastic Blade: Best for applications where safety, scratches, pitting, and rust are a concern. Blades come in a variety of tensile strengths, have a longer lasting edge, low moisture and chemical absorption, a low friction coefficient, and a longer shelf life. Perfect for glass, plastics, chrome, marble, and painted surfaces.
Coated Blade: Improves lubricity through cutting process for cleanest cuts.
Uncoated Blade: No additional coating. In many cases coatings are not needed for application, and the blade tends to be less expensive than coated blades.
Degreased Blade: A cleaning process developed to reduce oil and particulates from manufacturing process to create the cleanest blade available. Reduces foreign material transfer. Developed with specific cleanroom applications in mind.
Heavy Duty Blade: A .012" thick blade is considered heavy duty. With a thicker steel edge the blade can withstand super tough jobs whre regular duty blades will break.
Backing or Spine: Steel backing will create a stiff blade. Aluminum backing allows for blade flexibility. Stainless steel is best for environments where corrosion is a concern.
