The Importance of Quality Hand Knives to Your Operations

Written by Hyde | Jul 7, 2017 8:28:00 PM

Hyde Industrial Blade Solutions doesn’t need to tell you that hand knives are important to your operations. Yet, some operations need to be reminded of the benefits of high quality hand knives, the kind of tools manufactured by Hyde IBS.


Running a business is expensive. To cut cost, some businesses opt for cheaper tools. There’s nothing wrong with this approach. Every business knows what’s best for their operations.

One tool, however, that a business might not want to skimp on is hand knives. Low quality hand knives might save money in the short term, but in the long run, they might prove to be more expensive than their high-quality counterparts.

A business owner might respond, “Why does my operations need quality hand knives? Any knife will do. If a knife becomes dull, we can sharpen it. What’s the big deal?”

This business owner is right, but they are overlooking one thing. Obviously, hand knives are used to cut, hack, pry, shear, slit, slice, and trim materials. Usually, these materials are directly or indirectly related to the business’ final product.

If a hand knife is getting sharpened, then it’s not cutting, hacking, prying, shearing, slitting, slicing, or trimming materials. In other words, it’s not being productive.

Instead of helping your operations turn a profit, low quality knives, that can’t hold an edge, are costing your business money.

Hyde’s high-quality hand knives, also called “tools of the trade,” stay sharper longer, and are more durable, than other knives. This allows your workers to be more productive and not waste time re-honing their tools’ blades.

Another boon of Hyde’s high-quality hand knives are their ergonomic handles. As we like to say, Hyde’s hand knives are user-friendly.

Wait, once again our business owner has something to say: “Why are handles important? A handle is a handle. If it protects the user from getting hurt, what difference can it make?”

If a tool feels good in the hand, like Hyde’s hand knives do, then the crafts person will be able to wield the hand knife for long periods of time without feeling fatigue. The crafts person will be able to make more quality cuts. This makes them, and your hand knives, more productive.
