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. Reduces foreign material transfer. Developed with specific cleanroom applications in mind.
Stainless Steel: Best for applications where corrosion can be an issue, such as cleanroom environments. Provides precise initial cut.
Carbon Steel: Durable for tougher and harder material.
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.
Washed Blade: A cleaning process developed to reduce oil and particulates from manufacturing process to create the cleanest blade available:
Backing: Steel backing will create a stiff blade. Aluminum backing allows for blade flexibility. Stainless steel is best for environments where corrosion is a concern.
