Your business depends on having sharp, reliable tire cutters, and when they wear down you want to know you can get them up and running again as soon as possible. At Carolina Knife Co., we offer a full line of the highest quality American-made blades for the tire and rubber conversion industries, as well as sharpening services with an exceptionally short turnaround time. Whether you're looking for score slitters, shear blades, burst and razor cutters or custom blades, Carolina Knife Co. has the staff and products to meet your needs.

Tire and rubber cutters have special requirements that go beyond those of other industries' knives. To minimize tool breakdown, the blades need to be particularly tough and sharp, with rotary slitters requiring an ultra-precise edge. With our state of the art machinery and insistence on customer satisfaction, we will fine-tune your blades until they meet your specific tire cutting needs, taking them through a trial and error process if necessary.

The Strongest Cutters for Tire and Rubber Converting Industries

The grade of steel and carbide you choose for your blades can have a significant impact on their performance and durability, especially in tire and rubber conversion. That's why we use only the highest quality materials in these blades, such as CPM 10V steel. This is by far the most wear-resistant steel produced using the Crucible Particle Metallurgy process.

The CPM process involves pumping molten steel through a small nozzle to be atomized into a fine powder. The powder is then filtered and heated, solidifying it into one mass. The result is one of the toughest, most durable tool steels available today.
