About American Cutting Edge

Since 1965...

American Cutting Edge, a division of CB Manufacturing & Sales Co., Inc., is a leading supplier of machine knives and industrial razor blades. Founded by Charles Biehn, Sr., ACE has been committed to making industrial cutting effortless. We ask questions about your application, listen, and provide the solution that best meets your needs—whether an off-the-shelf product from our deep inventory or a custom solution guided by our experienced experts from engineering to delivery.

Effortless cutting goes beyond the blade. It includes every part of the process—from inquiry to fulfillment to billing. When mistakes happen, we own them and make it easy for you. Your time is valuable, and ACE ensures you can focus on your business while we handle the cutting.
