Ceramic Utility Knife Blades (Pointed Tip)

Are Slice Ceramic Utility Knife Blades Safer?

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.

Which Type of Utility Knife Blade Should I Use for the Job?
