What sets OLFA a cut above the rest? The Perfect Angle The superior OLFA blade
is the result of a multi-step production process. Only the finest quality tool
steel is selected for use. The blades are ground, then honed (sharpened to an
11 deg angle to provide the desired cutting surface for maximum performance.
The blades produced by the OLFA process are unmatched in both their initial
cutting power and edge retention. Experience and testing have shown that 59
deg is the perfect angle for the snap-off blade. This particular angle gives
the OLFA blade 3 important advantages. First, this angle compliments the
natural angle the hand assumes when holding a cutter for use, helping make it
impossible for the blade to break as the result of the cutting force. Second,
this angle of inscribed snap-off lines gives the blade a great deal of
flexibility, excellent when cutting paper materials. Third, the 59 deg angle
is perfect for snapping-off the used blade segments cleanly, leaving a perfect
new cutting edge. This blade angle, determined by OLFA, has become the
international standard for replacement snap-off blades ... another example of
OLFA leadership.
