Technically, a shoe blade is a tool used by a shoe maker. A shoe blade, or shoe knife, is designed to cut leather and rubber.

In a broader sense, a shoe blade is any tool, used in any industry, that cuts leather and rubber. It doesn’t necessarily have to be used by a shoe maker.

Hyde IBS makes several high quality shoe knives and we’ve been making them since 1875. During our infancy, the ability to make custom tools is what set us apart from other knife manufactures.

Some of the shoe blades Hyde manufactures includes:

  • Round point skiver
  • Sharp point shoe
  • Curved lip shoe
  • English taper point
  • McKay stitcher

Besides the above tools, Hyde makes a plethora of hand knives for a variety of different industries. We like to pride ourselves on manufacturing “tools of the trade.”

Wherever materials are cut, sliced, perforated, slit, scored, trimmed, or creased, chances are very good that a Hyde knife is there.

In this article, we’ve mentioned a number of specific shoe knives. You can always check out our catalog for more options.

What if you can’t find the hand knife you need in those two sources? Since Hyde IBS has been around for more than 140 years, there’s a high probability that we’ve already made a knife similar to the one you need.

What if you need a hand tool that’s so unique you’re almost certain Hyde hasn’t made it before? Does that mean you and your company are out of luck?

Not at all. If anything, you’re in luck because Hyde can fabricate custom shoe blades and knives. If you need a custom part, tool, or knife, then you need Hyde.

Hyde prides itself on being able to fabricate just about anything. If you can design it, then Hyde can almost certainly make it.

Hyde keeps a huge selection of steel in stock. This inventory includes premium tool steel and stainless steel. Meanwhile, Hyde Custom Fabrication can blank, pierce, laser cut, heat treat, temper, grind, and polish your parts. We do almost all of our fabrication in house.

Our inventory of steel, and our diverse fabrication shop, allows us to meet your needs quickly and to your exact specifications.
