What is a Utility Snap-off Knife?

A snap-off knife is a knife with an interchangeable blade that can be broken into different segments. The blade can be pushed back and forth and locked in the desired position. The cutting blade usually consists of 8 or 9 segments. Use only one segment at a time and break it off when it becomes worn. Use pliers or a SAFETY BOX to break off the blade segments. The blade is broken off in a punched-in segment and an unused portion of the blade is brought forward and used. Then you, the user, have a very sharp knife blade quickly at hand. There are two standard widths of knife blades: 9mm and 18mm.

Snap-off Utility Blades without Segments

Do you like the idea of using more than 10 mm at a time of your utility knife? Then use blades without segments. These cannot be broken off and are well suited to use up to 70 mm out from the knife. Blades without segments are supplied as standard in the Martor 380001 safety knife. You can order knife blades without segments from Sollex and these are called Sollex 180LUS.

How is the Snap-off Knife Used?

Snap-off knives are used together with segmented snap-off blades. When the knife needs to change blades, it is easy to open the hilt and insert a new blade. When the blade becomes blunt, a new edge is simply snapped off, so you always have a sharp working tool. We recommend using Sollex knife blades, which will make any knife really sharp and durable. Sollex blades are made of special German ice-hardened steel and cut through most materials without resistance. 

Sollex knife blades and knives can be used to cut through thick plastic, rubber, foil, cardboard, paper, textiles, wallpaper, flooring materials and leather, for example.

The right Utility Knives and Blades Can Save you a Lot of Money - Business Case

One Sollex customer employed 67 people in their warehouse. Approximately 30 Stanley snap off knives were used per week to open and cut cartons. The cost was about SEK 30 per disposable knife. The total cost over a four-year period was estimated at SEK 180 000. The Sollex 5180 utility knife was labeled with each employee's name. The cost of the knives and professional blades was SEK 3,772. The knives are still working today and have reduced the need for disposable knives and improved health and safety. The savings to the customer from using the correct blade was SEK 176,000 over four years.

How can I track my order after purchase?

Do you offer custom sizes or specialized blade shapes?

Sollex primarily sells machine knives of standard size and form that comply with the EOM. 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. If in doubt, our experts can help you find the right knife based on your machine model and cutting needs.

Can I get a sample or test blade to ensure compatibility with my equipment?

For cutting and converting flexible materials like plastic film, foil, vinyl, paper, and others, we provide converting blades including slotted slitter blades and razor blades with three slots. Send us a query if you're interested in machine blades, and we'll provide you with an offer. Samples for custom-made knives are not available but you are most welcome to order the minimum order quantity.

Can I set up a recurring order for blades I purchase frequently?

Actually, our clients and industry partners often place recurrent orders for industrial knives with predetermined delivery dates. We ensure your production process runs well by manufacturing and delivering machine knives and blades on schedule.
