Utility knives, often referred to as box cutters, can be used in a huge variety of industries. Utility knives typically consist of a razor blade held within a simple flat holder. Usually, this holder is about one inch wide and approximately three or four inches in length. The utility knife holder is generally made of metal or plastic. Often, utility knives are made with standard razor blades. However, they sometimes consist of blades that have double ends. There are also special blades designed specifically for cutting certain materials, like string. Utility knives can be manually adjusted, allowing the user to select the appropriate extension of the blade from the holder. This adjustability often comes in handy when it is important to use a sharp blade for cutting or slitting, without damaging material that doesn't require cutting. For example, utility knives may be used to cut tape on a package without causing damage to the packaging material itself or its contents. Utility knives allow for the quick and easy replacement of dull blades. Often, blades can be reversed to present an unused and sharper edge. Alternatively, a dull blade may be simply replaced with a new blade. Some utility knives allow for the storage of replacement blades with hollow knife handles. You could purchase cheap, mass-made utility knives for your industrial purposes, but you are likely to be very disappointed.
