The Modern Specialties Company was
founded in 1930, <st1:place><st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>, <st1:state>Illinois</st1:state></st1:place>,
by August J Lurie. Modern was his
original name for the company. Lurie was
the inventor of Modern’s unique line of utility knife and safety knife
products, including the specially designed replacement blades. Modern’s early success was based on his
innovatively designed and patented products.</div>

A.J. Lurie invented the first safety
knife and trademarked them “KuttO”as well as his utility products which he
trademarked “UtillO”. He patented some
of Modern’s products which include patents US2128151, US2187590, US2241608,
US2978807, US3178812, US3184843 and his currently known patents range from the
years of 1938 to 1965. Mr. Lurie became
very ill at age 94. He went to the
office every day until that time. He was
hospitalized for three years until he died in <st1:place><st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>,
<st1:state>Illinois</st1:state></st1:place> at age 97 in 1979. </div>

Modern Specialties was originally
located at <st1:street>4140 Harrison Street</st1:street>
and was later moved to <st1:street>Ogden Avenue</st1:street>
in a new building that Lurie built for the company. Modern Specialties went up for auction in
early 1981 as Lurie’s primary funds were in the care of the Northern Trust Bank
with a million dollars going to Michael Reese Hospital and another million going
to Mt. <st1:placename>Sinai</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Hospital</st1:placetype>. Robert Dean and Gerissa A. French bid on
Modern Specialties and won. Robert Dean
French, a retired naval commander, moved Modern to its prime location at <st1:street>661
West Lake Street</st1:street> in <st1:place><st1:city>Chicago</st1:city>,
<st1:state>Illinois</st1:state></st1:place>. The trademarks were renewed and the trademark
“Modern Roofer” replaced the “UtillO” trademark.</div>

At 9 am on August 21st the film crew of Rozar Pictures arrived at the Modern Specialties building, home of KuttO safey box cutters and Modern Roofer Products.

The K-917 blade is 3/4 x 1 1/2 which is the same size as the K-9 blade. It also fits in the MS25, MS27 and MS20 KuttO safety box cutters.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The K-9 blade is named after it's thickness .009" thick. The K-17 is also named after it's thickness of .017". The K-917 is a combination of both. It's size is the same as the K9 blade but it is thicker and more heavy duty as is the K-17 Blade.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>Man's First Knife</strong></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://modernspecialties.com/tmp/firstknife.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="135" src="http://modernspecialties.com/tmp/firstknife.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">This object is a photo of what is suggested to be one of the first knives known
to man. </span>
</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">
<strong>
</strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was found
in Blombos Cave, South Africa and made from pressure flaked silcrete estimated
to be 37,000 years old.</span> </span><br />
<strong>
</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">The founder
of Modern Specialties August J Lurie of Chicago, Illinois, patented on
1/16/1940, Patent # 2,187,590 a knife invention which is of various forms and
consists of two complimentory halves that are secured together and hence, the
modern utility knives and the box cutters of todays age and of
tomorrow. </span></span><br />

Safety</strong></span> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<img align="right" alt="Worlds Safest Knife" border="0" height="124" hspace="5" src="http://modernspecialties.com/tmp/safe-knife.jpg" style="text-align: right;" vspace="5" width="320" />
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Pictured here is the worlds safest knife, safe for kids and
clumsy people alike. Although this looks like a great idea, don't expect to cut
through anything with this knife other than a little bit of dust or
cobwebs.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">I believe that the most important part of knife safety is training and
coaching. Please follow this link to our KuttO box cutter safety
instructions </span><a href="http://modernspecialties.com/KUTTO%20Instructions.htm" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;">http://modernspecialties.com/KUTTO%20Instructions.htm</span></a> <span style="font-size: small;">and
follow this link to our Modern Roofer and utility knife safety</span> <a href="http://modernspecialties.com/safetyinstructn.htm" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;">http://modernspecialties.com/safetyinstructn.htm</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> .</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">The new designs and gadgets developed to make knives perfectly injury
free also seem to be a great idea, but are they really injury free, and do they
cause other problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Do these knives allow for
efficient user operation, do they last long and are they heavy duty? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">How
expensive are they to buy and are they made overseas, possibly exporting our
wealth<br /> and jobs?</span> </div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: small;">These are all important questions when considering the purchase of a safety
knife. Our KuttO knives are safe, efficient to use, heavy duty, made in a
Veteran owned small business in Chicago Illinois, USA, and have a life time
guarentee. </span></span><br />

</span>We were one of the first companies to develop, patent and produce innovative
safety carton openers.</div>
<br />
The KuttOs were designed, not only with safety in mind but with a heavy duty
design and quality USA manufacturing. <br />
<br />
They are still manufactured here in Chicago, Illinois USA, by hard working
employees.<br />
<br />
Our first factory was on Ogden Avenue and we moved to our present location,
on Lake Street, in the early 1980's. <br />
<br />

<br />
The original owner of Modern Specialties developed the KuttO products in the
1930's and continued to innovate and patent them through the 1960's. Our
original Modern Roofer knives were also covered under some of those patents.<br />

The KuttO Tray Maker actually consists of a KuttO Master Box cutter with
special guides fitted to it in order to enable the knife to cut around the top
and the bottom of a carton. <br />
<br />
The top lid of the carton is cut and lifted off and becomes a tray. The
center ring of the carton is squeezed around the top layer of merchandise and
dropped in the top lid tray that was removed first, creating two trays for
display.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">The KuttO Aluminum:</span></strong><br />

<strong></strong>The KuttO Aluminum cutters were designed to be a low priced version of the
KuttO Master, having the same features of the KuttO family with their
retractable blades and being very light and easy to handle. <br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The KuttO Aluminum cutters come
with a safety guard or without one. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
</div>
Over the years, the price of aluminum has increased the cost more than what
was intended or expected.</div>
