What is a utility knife for?

In construction the main use for utility knives are cutting drywall or roofing felt. In warehousing utility knives are commonly used for cutting down cardboard.

Which knife is best for floor layer and carpet layer?

A floor layer requires a knife with a completely fixed knife blade. It needs to be small and easy to access behind pipes and elements, but also robust and sturdy with not too many loose parts. Our recommendation is Sollex Dolphin Knife 1280 or Mozart S2 1002.00 for hook blades or short straight knife blades. To cut welds, we recommend Mozart's Trimming Knife 4595.

Why are there dolphin knives in aluminum, blue and black?

A floor layer usually has two knives. One is for hook blades and one is for short straight knife blades or crescent blades. In order to be able to visually quickly and easily see the difference between which knife has which knife blade, we have them in stock in aluminumblue and black colors.

Which knife or knife blade are suitable for cutting gypsum/plaster?

We recommend Sollex Construction Knife 2000 for cutting gypsum/plaster. The large sturdy knife with a fixed knife blade gives you a robust and sturdy cut.

For gypsum boards, we recommend Long utility blades such as Sollex Utility Blade pro 975P. This knife blade is optimized for cutting drywall.

To cut fire-hardened gypsum/plaster, we recommend you the knife blade Sollex Utility Blade banzai 975B. This knife blade has extreme durability and optimal design for cutting many fire-hardened gypsum boards.

Industrial knives are available in a variety of forms, including top dished, bottom circular knives, serrated / toothed knives, circular perforating knives, straight knives, guillotine knives, pointed tip knives, rectangular razor blades, and trapezoidal blades. 

We do, however, create bespoke knives of non-standard size and shape when a drawing or explicit request is provided. For example, we can manufacture solid tungsten carbide machine knives in a variety of non-standard forms with ultra-precise and extreme tolerances, which is very useful in the MedTech industry.

How do I choose the right blade for my specific machine or application?

When contacting a knife manufacturer to order knives for machines and slitters, providing accurate inquiries and detailed information is critical to ensure you receive industrial knives that meet the needs of your slitting, converting operations and the material you will be cutting. 

If you are ordering custom machine knives from Sollex, make sure you know the exact knife dimensions, material and mounting specifications. A drawing and a worn sample for analysis are useful. If not available a photo with clear dimensions can work. Identify in your request the current cutting problems you are currently experiencing with the cutting knife you are seeking to replace.
