Hyde Makes Hand Knives for Rubber Industry and That’s No Stretch

Hyde Industrial Blade Solutions makes hand knives and blades for the rubber, tire, and leather industries.

Well, of course they do. Hyde Industrial Blade Solutions makes knives and blades for a myriad of industries including abrasive, converting, food processing, hose, metal, paper, plastic, packaging, and textiles.

It’s only natural that Hyde manufactures quality hand knives and blades for the rubber, tire, and leather industries too.

For one, when Isaac Hyde founded this company in 1875, his main products were hand knives for craftspeople who worked with leather and rubber. He made quality tools that cut, sliced, and trimmed.

Nowadays, Hyde IBS continues his tradition but they do so with the addition of 140 years of meeting the tough demands of the rubber, tire, and leather industries.

Also in 1875, when Hyde started making and selling hand knives, his peers were legends like Benjamin Franklin Goodrich, Charles Goodyear, and Harvey Firestone.

Today, in 2016, the companies that those three men started use knives manufactured by the company Hyde started. Those companies don’t use Hyde’s hand knives and blades because their founders were buddies. They use Hyde tools because they’re durable and perform under the harshest conditions.

We know what you’re saying. Those industries are so automated that no one uses hand knives any more.

While it’s true those industries are heavily automated, and their machines use Hyde circular blades, there are still workers on the factory floor who use knives.

For example, in tire factories, technicians used hand knives to clean up tires as they come out their molds. Hyde tools are also used to cut hoses, belts, floor mats, conveyor belts, and just about any other rubber product you can imagine.

Two of the most popular types of tools used in the tire and rubber industries are the v-trim and pin vent trimming blades. These are used by workers to cut away excess rubber. Hyde is proud to be the leading supplier of both knives.

Here are a few of the tools Hyde manufactures for the rubber, tire, and leather industry.

• Belt cut-off blades
• Bias cutters
• Calender blades
• Guillotine blades
• Mill blades
• Shear blades
• Skiver blades
• Slabber or butcher knives
• Slitter blades
• Spadone blades

If you don’t see any of the hand knives your business needs, don’t worry. Chances are good Hyde makes them or has made them in the past. If we haven’t, still don’t worry, because if you can design it, Hyde can make it.
