Non-reactive impervious to acids and salts.The benefits of this material (100 percent zirconium oxide) include that it’s: Slice uses the same fine ceramics that are popular in kitchen knives. Slice ® addresses safety more comprehensively with with the ceramic blades in our safe cutting tools. After all, what cuts you: the handle or the blade?īelow is a breakdown of the risks posed by knives:Īs you can see, only 20 percent of the risks associated with knives can be addressed by redesigning the handle. These innovations are helpful, but they don’t address some of the basic risks. This includes recessing the blade, creating a guard, or adding auto-retraction mechanisms to safety utility knives.
The only way to address blade exposure is to redesign the handle. In other words, how much of the blade is exposed and has the potential to accidentally cut its user? While blade exposure is certainly important, it’s not the only way to mitigate the risks of cutting tools. They have really only looked at one aspect of safety: blade exposure. That sounds like a silly question, but traditionally manufacturers have looked at safe cutting tools in a very narrow way. From retraction mechanisms to blade materials to specialty applications like an insulation knife, there’s a lot to research if you’re looking to lower costs and reduce injuries, particularly in the large-scale environment of the workplace. An exploration of safety cutting tools yields a large, and sometimes confusing, variety of features and innovations.
