Tungsten Carbide Blades

One of the proudest moments in our company history is that we created the first successful tungsten carbide blades for use as razor blades. These blades have been used for many years in larger knives, but the geometries of thin blades made their use more difficult. While tungsten carbide is much more wear-resistant, it is also more susceptible to breakage and thus the older grades of material would not work for these special blades. We finally found the correct carbide grade for tungsten carbide blades and since then have almost “owned the market” for these special blades.

High-Performance Tungsten Blades

Tungsten Carbide blades need to be ground on special machines that use diamond wheels to remove the material. We experimented with many different wheels and are now experts at creating the correct finish on every surface of the blade. We now make our carbide cutting edges to a 2 to 4 RMS finish and can even do better than that if it is required. With our combination of material selection, special grinding machines, EDM machines, and blade knowledge, we are the best company in the world to make specialty blades!
