Custom Considerations

Whether your consumer product is a simple hand tool or disposable cigar or cigarette cutter, specifying the right blade makes all the difference.

Critical aspects of blade selection for use in consumer products include:

Material selection for max wear resistance vs. toughness at lowest possible cost
Edge geometry to balance cut force with blade life
Angle of cut determined by blade shape
