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.

THE Pen Knife

stanley-knife-knife-pointThis month, the top five pen knives have been published.  This list has been compiled in order to show you which the best pen knife or utility knife is for you, depending on what you need it for and how heavy duty a knife you need.  Penknives are indispensable, are small enough to fit in your pocket and you can quite literally take them anywhere.  So have a look and see what the top five knives are, though be aware they are in no particular order:

  • DeWalt 10035
  • Stanley 199E
  • Milwaukee Fastback II
  • Stanley Fat Max
  • Irwin FK150

Oh look!  There are two knives from Stanley in this line up – they must be doing something right and are obviously loved and trusted by so many people – tradesmen, craftsmen and DIY-ers alike!

The Stanley 199E

This is the smaller of the two Stanley knives in this line up.  It may be called the Stanley 199E but this 6 inch long knife is also known as the indestructible classic.  It has a certain 1960s look about it, aesthetically and is now reinforced at the nose now (though it never originally had this!)  The blades needed for this are lock-in blades so you will need a screwdriver in order to change the blade if it becomes blunt.

Stanley Fat Max

The Stanley Fat Max is a much bigger knife than the Stanley 199E – in fact, it’s a whole 1.5 inches bigger.  Due to the extra length, this makes the knife much easier for you to hold and work with, especially if you are wearing thick gloves for protection and safety reasons.  It has a big spare blade compartment which is built in which is great because you rarely have to restock when it comes down to blades.  This knife in the top five pen knives has won the Editors choice.

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?!

February’s Famous Four

heart-knife-february-famous-four-knives-knife-pointFebruary is the month of love, so we thought why not share with you the four blades we love the most, here at Knife Point, and the reasons why.  So here goes…

Swann Morton Scalpel Blades

These can be sterile or non sterile but either way, they are made out of carbon steel.  The non sterile blades come in blister packs of 5, packs of 100 and the sterile blades also come in packs of 100 but are individually sealed, hence their sterility!  For use with either, you may also wish to consider purchasing a Swann Morton blade remover unit which are available in packs of two, five or ten and hold up to 100 blades each.  Both of these items are commonly used in the medical or dental industry as they are highly reliable scalpels which make very fine incisions, perfect for detailed surgery or oral work.

Stanley Knife Fat Max

An extra heavy duty straight blade which fit all types of Stanley, Stanley Fat Max, Dolphin, Allegro, Shark and other hand tool types.  We love this blade type due to its versatility.  It’s incredibly sharp so can cut easily through a large variety of materials with the blade lasting a much longer time than an average knife.  This means that there is less down time so it earns you more money, especially as it is snap resistant.  The Stanley Fat Max is a good value knife which is highly valued by all tradesmen and is of course made by the world famous company, Stanley, whose reputation precedes them.

Planer Blades

Planer blades have made our top list because they will fit AEG, Black & Decker, Bosch, Festo, Haffner, Holzher, Kress, Mafell, Metabo and Scheer & Skil planers – what we mean is, you can buy one set of planer blades and they will work with any of these makes of planer!  This saves you money, rather than having to buy lots of different blades for lots of different tools!  They are made out of fine grain tungsten carbide and have an incredibly high quality, shiny finish, which is often described as a ‘mirror’ giving these blades the sharpest and keenest edge around!

Snap-Off Knives

Another innovative design from Stanley, where practicality meets safety!  These knives have blades which are created out of die-cast metal making them incredibly strong yet still light. Stanley have created this knife with a retractable handle so that the blades snap-off if there is an issue so as not to damage the knife or indeed the user!  These knives are easy to use, making DIY open to anyone, with their finger screwing operative locking mechanism and strong wedge type lock which holds the blade securely in its wanted position.  With Snap-Off Knives, it’s definitely safety first!

Be a Gr8 Pro with GR8 Pro Safety Knives

GR8 Pro Safety Knives are high performance knives that have a unique moving action.  This means that as the cut becomes more challenging to perform the blade initiates a sliding action to complete the cut.  It is this sliding action which creates a clean cut so that snagging and jamming do not occur.  Due to its heavy duty metal body it is the perfect tool to use in heavy duty areas, so is ideal for materials such as cardboard, twine, multi layered cling film and for cutting bands.  The knife handle and the blade are detachable so that the blade can be changed when blunted.  The time it takes to change a blade on the GR8 Pro Knife is a short and speedy estimated 10 seconds, which prevents you from losing time and getting behind with your jobs!  This stainless steel blade and plastic handled knife make a great pairing for top performance, both at home or in the workplace.  These knives are pocket and finger safe, which means that the blade is enclosed in order to prevent accidents.  The GR8 Pro Safety Knives can be used by left and right handed users and come in a range of colours.

Swann Morton and Stanley Knife Blades Perfect for Design Students

Pressure can be a constant of student life. Deadlines, late nights and hours spent in isolation are just some of a few of the constraints that fall upon design students in particular. For those people; it is essential to do everything possible to make day-to-day life easier. With such an emphasis placed on accuracy within the world of design; Swann Morton and Stanley knife blades can help towards the achievement of it.

For example; an architecture student looking to showcase a concept through a model will rely heavily on the quality of their cutting tool during its manufacture. Evidencing their knowledge of the importance of exactness within the profession is of the utmost importance.

Success and Reward

If you are one of those students; showing that you are able to work to only the highest levels of accuracy – right from the initial stages of creation – could be the key contributing factor towards your idea’s success.

By taking ownership of the importance of attention to detail; you are also making your own life easier in the process. When dealing with the pressures of university life; taking such measures can be extremely rewarding.

Wasted time remaking models over and over again – because they are cut incorrectly – can be extremely demoralizing. Achieving precision first time is endlessly satisfying; and understanding that you can do this through purchasing the best cutting tools is invaluable.

Fulfillment Thanks to Swann Morton and Stanley Knife Blades

Once you have taken the decision to place emphasis on accuracy; it is worth taking the time to research which tools will ensure the most success when carrying out a task. The manufacturers of Swann Morton and Stanley knife blades guarantee the quality of their knives. With so many years of experience; they are a wise choice of provider.

Blades from either of the manufacturers can ensure that the level of your work is only of the highest standard – helping to ensure good grades in the process! Consistency and quality of finish are two qualities that will shine through in the components that make up your product.

Swann Morton Available in an Array of Quantities

Both of these established manufacturer’s blades can be bought in an array of different quantities; directly from us here at Knife-Point. We are vastly experienced knife providers; with extensive knowledge of both the supply and production of a whole host of blades.

Use Swann Morton and Stanley Knife Blades for Your Hobby Craft Tasks

Accuracy is a vital commodity in life; especially when it comes to the world of craft. There is nothing worse than applying your time and dedication to a project; to simply see it go to waste. In hobby craft work, precision is everything; and the use of Swann Morton or Stanley knife blades can help you the achieve it.

Card making, model making and artwork are just some of the craft activities regularly carried out by professional craftsman and hobby craftsman alike. Having blades that are both sharp and fine within the industry is simply essential; as anything less will result in the creation of a product that severely lacks quality.

Reputation for a Reason

Craft industry professionals and casual craft enthusiasts working on projects within sectors such as the ones mentioned, are likely to understand this; and Swann Morton and Stanley knife blades have been helping them to achieve satisfaction through their work for decades.

There are obvious benefits to using products produced by established manufacturers in any profession. Great reputation is there for a reason; often as a result of guaranteed quality assurance from a supplier. With Swann Morton and Stanley knife products; that is something that is a given.

The Difference between Business Success and Failure

Achieving consistency and a quality finish is so important in the manufacture of craft products. As a profession that has thrived on care and attention; the importance of attention to detail within it cannot be overstated. Take, for example; a card maker whose living is based on the success of the sale of their products.

Inaccurate features on the card would result in customers feeling unimpressed with products; and resultantly sales of their products would be significantly affected. The knife chosen by the craft artist making the card can be the difference between achieving success and failure in their business.

Blades Can Be Bought in Packs

Both Swann Morton and Stanley knife blades can be used in the production of a whole host of materials; including paper, card and plastics. Blades can be bought in packs; and are often made to be easily interchangeable to ensure that only the highest quality of work is carried out when using them.

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.

Experts in Knife Production – Including Swann Morton

We at Knife-Point were certainly interested in the story; but we will stick to the actual production of knives! We manufacture our own knives; as well as selling a whole range of other fantastic branded products; including Swann Morton knives sourced from the home of UK steel production – Sheffield.

With decades of combined experience, we work tirelessly to manufacture and deliver only the highest quality of knives; and continue to be one of the leaders of knife production in the area. Our dedication to the job is just one of the many reasons customers come back to us time and time again. We can source or produce the right blades for you, ensuring that we are delivering only the highest levels of customer satisfaction.

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.
