LAS VEGAS, January 19-22, 2004 – LENOX, a leading manufacturer of
premium power tool accessories, hand tools and band saw blades,
introduced the LENOX Edge™ bi-metal utility knife blades – the first
bi-metal blades for utility knives.
Perfect for professionals and contractors doing all types of cutting,
including drywall, roofing and floor installation, the LENOX Edge’s
patent-pending bi-metal blade design features a high speed steel edge
that stays sharp up to three times longer than traditional carbon steel
blades. This means less blade changing during a normal workday and more
productivity. The bi-metal technology also means the blade has a
flexible spring steel backing, making the blade shatter resistant for
safer cutting.
“Our extensive field testing demonstrated that the bi-metal blade
technology gave professionals a level of durability and shatter
resistance not found in any standard utility knife blade,” said Corey
Talbot, Product Manager for LENOX. “This translates into greater
productivity for the user and a safer cutting environment.”
The LENOX Edge bi-metal blades are .025 thick with a Matrix high-speed
steel edge for excellent durability and a honed edge angle for maximum
sharpness.
The LENOX Edge™ bi-metal utility knife blades fit all standard utility
knives and are available in packs of three, five, 50 or 100 blades.
LENOX blades are sold at industrial and construction supply houses,
building supply centers, hardware stores and home centers nationwide.
