Replacement Blades for Utility Knives

72 products

Replacement blades replace the worn blades of utility knives: a sharp blade cuts better, needs less force and is safer than a worn one. They are used for cardboard, membranes, carpet, plasterboard and packaging.

Types in the collection

  • Snap-off blades of 9, 18 and 25 mm, in packs or dispensers (Stanley, Fervi, Metrica, Unifix)
  • Blades for professional and snap-action utility knives (Pavan, Portwest)
  • Trapezoid blades for retractable knives

How to choose

First check the blade width, which must match that of the knife, and the model indicated by the manufacturer. Snap-off blades are used in segments: when the tip wears down it is snapped off and you start again with a fresh tip. Dispose of used blades in a rigid container to avoid injury.

Always keep a stock on site or in the workshop: changing the blade at the right time prevents crooked cuts, tears and accidents.

For pack sizes and quantities write or call AMES Srl: we will prepare a quotation for you.

Frequently asked questions: Replacement Blades for Utility Knives
When should I replace the utility knife blade?

A worn blade cuts poorly, requires more force and increases the risk of slipping on the material. It is best to change it when the cut becomes uneven, when the blade tears instead of cutting or when more pressure than usual is needed. A sharp blade works better on cardboard, membranes, carpet, plasterboard and packaging.

Snap-off, trapezoidal or hooked blades: which type do I need?

Snap-off blades are broken along the score line to give a fresh edge, useful on cardboard, carpet and plasterboard. Trapezoidal and hooked blades are used in retractable knives and some specific tools. The shape is chosen according to the tool, so before buying check the model of your cutter or knife.

What blade width do I need for my utility knife?

The blade width must match that of the cutter. In the catalogue the snap-off blades are available in 9, 18 and 25 mm sizes. Check the manual or the old blade and check the manufacturer's model. A blade of a different width will not fit properly in the blade holder or will not lock, and the cut becomes dangerous.

Carbide or titanium blades: what is the difference?

Carbide and titanium blades are designed to last longer than ordinary steel blades, and keep their edge for more cuts. The catalogue includes Milwaukee carbide blades and titanium blades, as well as steel blades. The choice depends on the material to be cut and how often you use them.

How do you change a utility knife blade safely?

Before changing it, return the blade to the closed position. Handle the new blade by the back, avoiding the edge, and insert it in the seat indicated by the manufacturer. Always cut away from the body and with the workpiece resting on a stable surface, so you do not slip with the blade.

Stanley, Fervi or Pavan blades: which brand should I choose for professional cutters?

The catalogue includes blades from Stanley, Fervi, Metrica, Unifix, Pavan, Portwest, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Ingco and Effe. For professional and snap-action cutters there are Pavan and Portwest blades; for snap-off blades in dispensers there are Stanley, Fervi, Metrica or Unifix. Choose the shape for your tool before the brand.

How do you store spare utility knife blades?

Keep the blades in their original pack or dispenser, in a dry place and out of the reach of children. The dispenser protects the edge and lets you take one blade at a time. Do not leave loose blades in a pocket or in the drawer with other tools, to avoid accidental cuts.
