Compared with standard steel blades, the answer is yes. When you search “how to change a utility knife blade”, you learn that the process is often dangerous. Overly sharp steel blades and snap-off varieties leave your hands vulnerable to injury.
Because we developed a proprietary finger-friendly edge for our ceramics, handling a Slice ceramic blade is less dangerous than handling steel utility knife blades. Our manufacturing process creates an edge that effectively cuts material but resists cutting skin.
Slice utility knife replacement blades are made from hard zirconium oxide, which holds its edge, on average, 11.2 times longer than steel. This means you’ll be handling your blade much less often, also reducing the chance of injuries.
The best utility knife blades will depend on your application. For most cuts, our 10526 (rounded tip) blades will do the job. The rounded tip provides an added layer of safety against accidental puncture wounds. For some materials, though, a pointed tip is required. A pointed tip initiates a clean cut with a piercing action and is best used for materials like shrink wrap, laminating sheets and plastic banding.
