Written by Hyde | May 8, 2018 7:19:00 PM


At Hyde Industrial Blade Solutions, we are proud that so many industries look to us for the perfect cut. The cloth and textile industries are no different. We have been providing solutions to their needs for years, and we have no intention of stopping any time soon.

As the leading supplier of industrial cloth and textile knives and blades for all machine brands and types, from manual cutting equipment to fully automated production lines, we are ready to take on your next big project.

For more than 50 years, Hyde has been manufacturing and distributing replacement blades for all of the major manufacturers of textile cutting equipment. So, when it comes to surpassing your expectations for cutting reliability and efficiency, you know you can count on us to provide the perfect cut your industry needs, every time. You will find that our blades can accomplish just about every application. From carpet to fabric, we have the perfect cutting solution.

We are proud to say that our blades can cut natural fibers just as easily as today’s modern man-made fibers. We can attest to this because we use the very best materials to craft our blades! Not only are our blades long lasting because of a consistent metallurgy, but we use a special technique to prevent binding. This will lead to less downtime and reduced blade replacement costs.

This technique consists of using our hollow-ground knife edge design that is much more efficient than a straight grind. The result is a superior and cleaner cut.

Here are just a few of our most common blades that we supply to our cloth and textile clients:

  • Slitter blades
  • Shear cutters
  • Loom knives
  • Die knives
  • Bias slitters
  • Guillotine
  • Ledger blades
  • Mill blades
  • Hand knives

In order to claim our blades as the best in the industry, we put them through testing that pitted our blades against others in the industry. The results of the ISO #8442-5-2004 standardized testing showed that our textile blades outperformed our competitors in all aspects of the testing. 

Check out the results of our market testing below:

  • Our textile blades were 20% sharper right out of the box on initial cutting performance than any other manufacturer around the world. This means that as a user, you can count on clean cuts and long blade life.
  • Our Hyde blades lasted an astounding 72% longer than the next leading USA manufacturer of machine blades in the area of cost per cut. This means that we also offer you a better return on investment time and time again.

This testing proved that our dedication to providing our customers with reliability and cost savings has been worth all of our research and hard work. We love engineering blades that provide the best solutions for our clients, and we love watching them consistently out-perform the competition. 

When you partner with us, you will get better value for your cutting operations, and in today’s highly competitive market, that is a big deal.

As a player in the textile industry, you know that when choosing your supplier, it is not simply about the “price per blade” that determines the value, but also the quality and number of cuts you get. With Hyde, you get the best overall value every time.

Are you wondering what makes our textile cutting blade perform beyond your expectations? We take the very best steel on the market and heat treat it in a method that maximizes both the straightness and flatness of the blade. We do all of this while simultaneously retaining its longevity and machining it to exacting tolerances.

Each and every one of our blades is built with these values, we guarantee it! So if you are looking for a textile blade supplier who can deliver the consistent performance you demand, contact us today!

To see what the fuss is all about, come check out our cloth and textile knives and blades between May 22-24 in Atlanta, GA at the TexProcess Americas 2018 trade show. We’d love to meet you!
