T/A OLFA UK A blunt blade can tear paper or damage other light materials. It also requires you to apply more cutting force, which significantly increases the chance of slipping and leaving you with an injury. So it’s always important to cut with a sharp edge, and a snap-off cutter like the OLFA Graphics Snap Knife to help ensure that you always have one available. OLFA’s snap-off blades are made using the finest Japanese tool steel and follow a multi-step production process to ensure ultimate sharpness. They feature multiple segments; when your blade has lost its edge, snap one off to reveal a brand new, ultra-sharp edge. So one snap-off blade is the equivalent of several conventional blades; it’s certainly economical. Being so sharp, they have to be handled and disposed of with care, and that’s where the OLFA DC-6 comes in. It’s a three-in-one product; a blade snapper, disposal case, and knife stand. Using it is simple: slide the top to reveal a blade guide, insert your blunt blade into it, then lightly press the lever to snap. The entire process happens inside the container; the risk of injury is gone, and the used blade segments are safely stored away. You can also use the case to keep used art knife blades. There’s plenty of space in the stand to keep your snap knives, art knives, pencils and pens at the ready. To learn more about OLFA, visit the website or follow Olfa on Instagram @olfauk_ie.
