What Makes a Good Machine Knife?

Our team of experts understands that you place unique demands on your cutting edges. Choosing the correct tool will eliminate material waste, time, machine adjustments and tooling costs, while providing increased productivity, accuracy and reliable endurance. Choosing the proper material and hardness, the correct design for the application, special surface and heat treatments, all work together to ensure the integrity of your machine knife.

The information that can be found by following the links on the left has been obtained from various tool steel manufacturers, metallurgists, technical manuals and our own experience. It is included for the knife buyer or machine designer who would like to become more aware of the various options available in these four areas. All materials are identified by their AISI number (American Iron and Steel Institute) and not the brand names given by the steel companies or other knife manufacturers, unless the material has no AISI number assigned to it.

Performance, quality, service, unparalleled design and manufacturing expertise, and a 100% unconditional guarantee. That's Florida Knife.
