Traditionally Made Knives, Blades and Tools

As a Sheffield based company supplying professionals, businesses and individuals with a range of knives and blades, Knife-Point are proud of our Sheffield roots. Sheffield has a long history of quality knife making behind it, and our business is a testament to the Steel City’s fantastic reputation in the field of knife and tool making. Our selection of hooked blades and concave blades are second to none, and we will go out of our way to find the perfect knife or blade for your project. Our team of staff are committed to keeping the tradition of Sheffield knife making alive and well, and our range of products reflects this commitment.

The knife and blade making process can be broken down into a number of steps. The initial shape of the blade can be produced using forging, by heating the blade to a very high temperature and shaping using traditional tools such as hammers and anvils. By using a range of modern and traditional techniques, Knife-Point is able to honour the traditional methods and harness the advantages of more modern techniques guaranteed to ensure quality and longevity of our Dolphin knife and Delphin knife range.

Blade blanks are often used in the Dolphin knife making and Delphin knife making process, depending on the thickness of the material and the alloy content of the steel. When manufacturing larger quantities of knives and blades, they can be made using water jet cutters, electron beam cutting, stamping sheet material or even lasers. Belt grinders, files or hacksaws can also be used to profile a blank in the knife and blade making process. Blade blanks can also be made using files, grinding wheels or small belt sanders, but more commonly, experienced knife makers use a large industrial belt grinder.

Heat treatment is commonly used on the knives and blades supplied at Knife-Point, including the Dolphin knives and Delphin knives that we manufacture. The process of quenching is an important step after heat treatment, but can be dependent on the type of metal used. This can be carried out using oil, animal tallow, water, air or brine.

There are a variety of blade finishes used in the production of Dolphin knives and Delphin knives. By buffing the blade with chrome oxide, or by hand rubbing the blade with fine wet-or-dry abrasive paper, a high shine can be created. Our range of knives, including Stanley knives, Dolphin knives and Delphin knives are of the highest quality and a true reflection of the rich knife making history of Sheffield.

Effective Storage of Your Stanley Knife Blades

As experts in the manufacture and supply of knives and blades, Knife-Point know how important it is to keep your Stanley knives and trimming knife blades in good condition to ensure that they last a long time and remain effective. Looking after your knives before and after use is the key to keeping them in good condition, and storing them properly can go a long way to keeping your knives and blades in top condition for years to come.

When storing your Stanley 1992, Stanley 5192 and Stanley 1996 knives, keeping them away from moisture, damp and water is an absolute must. It is best to keep them somewhere cool and dry, away from light and dust. Moisture can be damaging to knives and blades because it can lead to corrosion and rust on the blade. Wiping your Stanley knife blade down after use with a lint free cloth is also a good way of extending its life, as even the natural moisture and perspiration from your skin may cause damage to some blades.

By keeping your Stanley knives and trimming knife blades away from moisture and dust, you can significantly extend their lives and keep their performance.

Cleaning Stanley Knife Blades to Ensure Long Life

Cleaning your Stanley knife blades effectively is a must for keeping your knives and blades in top condition. After all, why invest money on a Stanley 1992, Stanley 5192 or Stanley 1996 knife if you’re not going to look after it properly? Water can be used to keep your Stanley knife clean, as long as you follow the instructions below.

You can use water and soap to clean your Stanley knife blade, as this will effectively remove any dirt or any build up of oils that may have collected on the blade. Water must be used carefully though, as it can cause corrosion if not dried off properly or left on too long. If you do have to use soap and water on your Stanley knife blade, you must take care that the blade is rinsed properly afterwards with hot water to make sure all remaining soap has been removed. It is also important to dry the knife thoroughly afterwards, preferably using a lint free cloth.

If you want to keep your Stanley knife blade in the best working order, following these tips for cleaning it will ensure that your blade will last you the longest amount of time.

The traditional knife and blade making process

The traditional knife and blade making process can be broken down into four main steps. The initial shaping of the knife is achieved through the process of forging or blanking. Forging occurs when the blade is exposed to and heated up to a very high temperature. It is then shaped using hammer and anvil to achieve a shape that is very close to the final desired dimensions. Our range of Olfa safety knives, gr8 pro safety knives, Bosch planer blades and Stanley knives, including Stanley 1992, Stanley 5192 and Stanley 1996 are made using a mixture of traditional and modern techniques, ensuring that your Stanley knife, safety knife or planer blade will be of the highest quality and workmanship.

Blade blanks are often made in the production of quality knives and blades including snap off blades, hooked blades, concave blades, and safety knives.  A variety of methods can be used to create these blade blanks, dependant on the material thickness and the alloy content of the steel. Sometimes blade blanks are stamped using sheet material, and sometimes water jet cutters, electron beam cutting or lasers are used. Custom knife makers on a smaller scale may cut their steel blade blanks using a metal cutting bandsaw. A variety of different methods can be used to profile a blank including using belt grinders, files or hacksaws.

If no power equipment is available, this process can be carried out with files, if the steel has not been hardened yet. Grinding wheels, or small belt sanders are used by beginners to make knives and blades. Well equipped and experienced knife and blade makers usually use a large industrial belt grinder, or a belt grinder made specifically for this purpose. Pre-polish grinding on a heat treated blade can be done if the blade is kept cool to keep the temperature of the metal at a consistent level.

Stanley Knife Versus Cable Cutters

stanley-knife-blade-knife-pointApparently, this has been a longstanding debate between tradesmen, especially, it seems, with Electricians.  So, we have decided to have a little investigation and see if we can come to some form of conclusion to help our tradesmen customers make the right decision for them, their customers and with their safety in mind.  Obviously, it depends on what type of cables and their thickness, but we hope to find an answer for general use on data and communication, domestic twin and skin cables.  Though industrial SWA cables will most probably be a different matter altogether.

The Pros of the Cable Cutters and the Stanley Knife

Firstly, it sounds as if most tradesmen feel that cable cutters and Stanley Knives are not an interchangeable commodity – it’s an either or solution.

Cable cutters are more bulky, more expensive and tend to be used when Stanley Knives have been exhausted.  They are used on much thicker wires but aren’t always able to solve the problem.  There are also queries as to the safety of the user, should fingers (for example) get in the way!

A Stanley Knife is slimmer, but sturdy.  They are cheaper and new blades can be acquired economically and changed oneself extremely easily.  They have a screw locking safety system to avoid losing your fingers, too.  Yes, okay, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to cut through an industrial SWA cable with a Stanley Knife, but it’s not easy or always possible with cable cutters.

Regarding safety, it is debated as to whether wearing gloves is helpful or not.  It seems apparent that although gloves can protect your fingers from getting cut, or worst case scenario, cut off, gloves can often be more of a hindrance than a help.  Why?  The feeling in your hands and fingers is lost so you are very likely to misjudge your actions, leading to injury.  Especially if the blade used is a blunt one!  No, this is not a mistake, it does say blunt!  Why is a blunt knife more dangerous than a sharp one?  Because the user applies much more pressure to the knife for it to cut through the wire and when it slips it does much greater damage, causing much worse of an injury.

Stanley Knife or Cable Cutters

In our opinion, we would always choose a Stanley Knife.  Why?  Because it easier to use, cheaper, has replaceable blades so you can always keep them sharp, has a safety locking device, it’s sturdy, it’s slim and available in multiple sizes and lengths.  It may not be able to cut through industrial SWA wires very easily but…nothing is perfect…and realistically, how often are you going to be cutting through those anyway?!

Stanley Knife Care & Maintenance

Stanley Knife Blades

Stanley Knife Blades

If you want to keep your Stanley Knife blades in tip-top condition, then proper care and maintenance is a must.

It’s important to remember to clean your knife after use, no matter how laborious this might seem. Even high-quality knives like the Stanley Fat Max, or the 1992 won’t last forever, so being sure to take the time and effort required to maintain your blades is crucial if you want to make the most out of your investment.

Luckily, it’s pretty easy to keep your Stanley Knife blades in great working condition. You can simply use a little soap and warm water to remove any debris, or build-up of oils and grime that your blades may have accumulated after use.

Before cleaning your knife, however, it may be best to detach the blade and clean them separately as different handles may require a different type of care and maintenance. This is also important when drying your knives, as it is easier to ensure no water or moisture has collected where the blade is inserted.

A word of caution, however – when using water to clean your knife blades, be sure to thoroughly dry your blades after cleaning them. This is because water can cause corrosion if left in contact with the blade for too long. You must also ensure that the blade is rinsed properly after using soap to clean your knife, as soap suds can cause the metal to tarnish.

Pro tip: If possible, use a lint-free cloth when drying your blades. Lint-free cloth is specially designed not to give off fluff when used, and therefore means there won’t be any build-up of fabric particles when drying off your knives. This means your blades will stay fluff-free and completely clean as you dry them.

The accuracy that this will help you implement in your woodworking tasks will help you to achieve unrivalled quality with any subsequent products.

Planer Blades Reduce Wood Thickness

Woodworking planer blades are commonly used to flatten the surface of rough pieces of timber, reducing the thickness of the wood in the process. It is a technique that is used to produce vertical, horizontal or inclined surfaces; with the end result always being a smooth, flat surface.

Historically; the first original hand planers came into use thousands of years ago, and they have evolved gradually over time to be the effective tools they are today. With origins in both Europe and Asia; the best aspects of continental design have been brought together to allow the variety you see today – such as our 82mm planer blades.

Ensuring You Carry out Only the Highest Quality Work with Your Planer Blades

Ensuring You Carry out Only the Highest Quality Work with Your Planer Blades

Proper maintenance – and an understanding of the tools you are using – are both essential things which help immensely when carrying out concise woodworking work withplaner blades. Woodworking planer blades are typically tough; and extremely durable. They will help you to carry out excellent work – as long as their upkeep is respected.

It is vital that you make sure to keep your tools – such as your 82mm planer blades – as sharp as possible. By doing so, you are putting yourself in the best possible position to carry out only the highest standard of work. By following the correct maintenance procedures – and understanding their importance – you are evidencing responsibility and knowledge with relation to quality control.

Maintaining Your Planer Blades Properly

When it comes to understanding whether your product needs to be maintained, it is helpful to do your research (we often provide advice through this blog). Perhaps the best way to test the sharpness of the blade is by tilting it up to the light. By observing how the light reflects off the bevel of the blade, you can gauge its condition. If the blade is sharp, then the bevel will appear flat.

If it requires maintenance, then you will need to follow a number of simple steps to do this successfully. There are a number of resources available to tell you how you can do it best; which include guidelines on using an oiled whetstone, the importance of removing chips on the blade and ensuring that the blade is worked with a pushing action and not a pulling action

Distribution and Balance

When actually implementing the use of planer blades proper balance is essential. Distribution of body weight – by keeping your feet apart in a comfortable position – enables you to maintain the closest control when using a wood planer. Naturally, the end product will emanate accuracy and quality as a result.

It is also useful to wait a few seconds when you start up your planer to carry out work. This enables the motor to reach full speed; and the blade can now be eased into contact with the material. From this point, you can push forward at a steady pace, ensuring that you continue to apply pressure on the front of the planer as it meets your piece of work.

Swann Morton Knife Providers Keeping Eye on News

The man behind the current Channel 4 programme ‘The Island’ recently caused controversy; when he suggested that children should be allowed to play with knives from a young age. The topic was picked up by the national press; with both The Telegraph and The Independent printing the story.

Bear Grylls attracts an awful lot of attention in the UK due to his position as Chief Scout of the Scouting Association. He also experienced unparalleled levels of success with his show Bear Grylls: Born Survivor; a ‘survival tip technique’ show which earned millions of adoring fans across the globe.

He is a champion of the outdoors; and is never too far from a story which covers encouraging kids to embrace the wild. His comments came as he told the Radio Times that parents should be teaching children “how to embrace and manage risk”.

Using Knives Safely

Grylls has received criticism in the media for his suggestions; after stating during an interview that encouraging children to play with knives could be ‘empowering’. He did state, however, that he felt that way because it’s important for a developing mind to learn to do something in the safest way, as reported in The Independent:

“Sometimes in life we get cut,” he said. “My six-year-old recently cut himself on a knife, and came in with blood pouring everywhere, but, you know what? He’s not cut himself again. He learned how to handle a knife.”

Critics have suggested that this is an idyllic view, and that an accident would never be too far away with children given responsibility of knives. Grylls though; did state in the same interview: “When I say to budding adventurers, ‘Listen – a blunt penknife is a dangerous knife. Make sure it’s really sharp’ – the kids’ faces light up. Like all kids, they want a mega-sharp penknife – great, but teach them to respect it and use it properly,” countering the argument that his thinking is purely reckless, and adding some logic to his quotes.

Trimming Knife Blades Manufacturer Notice World War 1 Memorabilia Stolen From Museum

As leaders of knife production and supply in Sheffield; we at Knife-Point are always on the lookout for interesting knife-related news. With over 30 years of experience in the industry; we have historical roots with relation to knife production that stretch back many decades. As such, we find the history of knives fascinating – so when we came across this particular story; we were particularly interested.

Recently, in Western Esplanade; a historic piece of World War One memorabilia was stolen from a Canvey museum. The item concerned is a trench knife – otherwise known as a trench dagger – and was taken from a display case within the museum. The incident was believed to have occurred between the hours of 10am and 1.15pm on Monday the 5th May.

Stolen Over Bank Holiday Weekend

It is thought that knife was stolen whilst volunteers from the museum were showing members of the public around over the last Bank Holiday weekend. Allan Reed is a volunteer at the museum; and said that it was both an important and significant part of the military history of Essex.

The knife itself has a knuckle duster grip; and has Vulcan and Sheffield Steel on the blade. The markings GMH Stealing; Essex Reg 1916 can be found inscribed onto the blade. Anyone with access to information on the theft; or who may have been offered the item for sale, should be directed to PC Lisa-Ann Gore at Essex police; who told The Enquirer, Essex:

Very Important To The Museum

“The museum would like to get the piece back as it is very important to them. It is also a weapon and we would like to get it back in safe hands. I would urge anyone with any information to contact me as soon as possible.”

Memorabilia items from WW1 can be extremely valuable; and are often fantastic examples of knife production in previous historical times. In product design; lessons can always be learnt from the past. Examples of time and dedication being applied to the production of knives can be found throughout history.

Using a Concave Blade for Extra Degree of Accuracy

Often, when you are carrying out an industry-standard task, it can sometimes be difficult to search for the blades that are most suitable for the job that you are doing. By finding out exactly what task you are doing – and the specifics of that task – you can begin to choose exactly what knife product you need for your job. Some tasks require a more heavy duty blade, whilst others pair better with a specifically catered knife; that has been designed with such care and attention that it is perfect for the job you want to carry out.

You just need to make sure that these are the knives that you end up finding and purchasing. A concave blade can be exactly the sort of product that has been described here. There will have been many times that workers within the commercial industry have found themselves using tools that just don’t quite match up to the aspirations of quality that they have in their minds. There is nothing more frustrating than wanting to carry out a task to complete perfection – but finding yourself constrained by the tools that you are using.

A concave blade has been designed as the perfect knife cutting tool to carry out such tasks which require these high levels of accuracy. A concave blade design for trimming knife blades can provide you with the most perfectly designed tool for tasks requiring that extra degree of accuracy. Those extra careful, precision cuts can be perfectly achieved with a concave blade. The design of this particular blades means that it does not catch the wood when you’re trying to carve it. This enables only the highest quality of finishes, which is exactly the thing that many workers aspire towards on a daily basis.

An example of a task that requires such a product would be a worker carrying out a task within the leather industry. It is obviously essential that only the greatest levels of accuracy are adhered to in a case like this; as the application of the incorrect knife blade could completely destroy the quality of a product. People purchasing leather products expect only the highest quality of product. They have often paid that extra level of money to get a leather product, so it is essential that during the manufacture, the utmost care is taken by workers. This can be achieved through the use of a concave blade.

Other places that a concave blade can be put to use are across a whole range of industries. Examples of why they are in such demand can be found through their use within the cutting of composite aluminum sheet, the cutting of wood products and in the cutting of a whole array of craft materials. A concave blade can also be used within the carpet fitting tools industry, for the achievement of only the most clean and precise cuts. This is another great selling point.

 

 

 

Choose a Scraper Blade for Versatility

A scraper blade can be that exact tool that you need to carry out your individual industry tasks.

As a worker, it is always reassuring to know that you have the flexibility that you require in that work that you are carrying out – and this is something that can be happily achieved.

A scraper blade can be particularly effective as a tool to use within your home. Whether it be in your workshop, in a hobby house, in a garden shed, or simply in the house itself; these are blades that lend themselves perfectly to the home environment.

If you feel like some areas of your home are need of some renovating, then a scraper blade really could be the perfect tool for you. The sharpness of this particular type of blade – as long as it has been well maintained – lends itself excellently to wallpaper stripping around your home. If you have a room that really does need a complete makeover, then a scraper blade can be the perfect tool to utilize.

The blades are widely recognized by knife product manufacturers.
