           The Razor Blade Company carries a variety of blades for upholstery, fiber and fabric cutting.  Our customers use our textile blades to shave props for stage, cut upholstery for bus refurbishments, craft fine leather interiors for luxury cars, meanwhile fabric and upholstery supply stores stock our products for general use.  We serve a wide range of businesses from textile, car and bus upholstery, to tailoring and below we share the top blade choices of those satisfied customers.
            For your basic fabric cutting use, we recommend the traditional single edge blade shape in our extra sharp blade 94-307 which is double honed for excellent cutting potential. These blades are carbon steel with a thickness of .009” and have a non-rust aluminum backing. The double honed blade quality allows for sharp, clean fabric cutting.

            If you are looking for a blade with a longer-lasting sharpness that holds up to long cuts or heavy fabric the 62-0163 Extra Keen Blue Single Edge blade is a top requested blade among our textile customers. Similar to the 94-307 blades, these extra keen blue blades are also carbon steel and have a thickness of .009” with a non-rusting aluminum backing. With these blue blades, you will be able to work longer cutting your fabrics allowing for clean cuts without the need to change your blade mid-cut.

            Looking for a blade that can cut and trim through leather fabric? Try item 26-101, our number 26 hobby blade. This hobby blade is not only great for fabric cutting but is also used for cutting foam, linoleum, plastic, wood, and rubber. These blades have a thickness of .025” and are carbon steel. They are sold in bulk of 1000 blades per case, excellent for industrial uses.

Impulse buys are a staple of any retail store, whether it’s gum by the register or a magazine with a grabbing headline.  Impulse buys in hardware shops and janitorial supply stores seek both to offer small-sized “buy me!” deals as well as to allow customers to try new products and hopefully come back for the full case.   The Razor Blade Co. sells wholesale industrial razor blades and cutting tools while also featuring items packaged for grab-and-go retail. Here is a countdown of some of our top choices of go-to items to keep stocked near the register:

5.  Our metal safety scrapers are sold in units of one hundred scrapers but are handy tools that stand-alone.  These all-purpose scrapers are retractable and use the traditional single edge razor blade, something the customer probably already has.  The metal design is sturdy and well built to easily change out blades while holding up to heavy-duty scraping tasks.  A great product to keep in a bin so they can test out the locking mechanism and grab some to go.

4. Our plastic scraper is the counterpart to the metal safety scraper.  These plastic scrapers and sold in boxes that pop open ready for retail.  Each mini scraper comes with a single blade and holder suitable for cleaning and scraping surfaces where metal would scratch.  Un-stick old gum, bird droppings, paint and stickers with this handy tool.  The plastic refill blades can also be sold in a hundred packs for when customers come back for more.

3.  Utility knives are easy to lose but handy to have around.  Feature some inexpensive but well-made utility knives such as our die-cast utility knife for quick replacements on the go.  Fully retractable and lockable for safety, the knife also features blade storage in the handle. 
                      

2.  Breakaway knives or snap-off knives are another handy cutting tool.  Our brightly colored and individually wrapped snap-off tools are a feature in both 13 pt and 8 pt models.  The plastic knives are inexpensive so while they can be re-filled, it’s easy to grab a new knife when your old one is done.

1.  Finally, these handy 10 pack dispensers of GEM razor blades are perfect for customers who just need a quick refill of single edge blades.  Featuring our stainless steel uncoated razors, the quality of the blade will not disappoint.  These handy little dispensers are safe to use and convenient to buy.
