New Product Available at Modern Specialties. Notched U102 Blade.

The U102-5U bowtie shaped utility blade is now available.

The U102-5U blade fits in all Modern Specialties knife handles as well as some select utility knives such as our MS100 knife and others.  The blade has two cut outs on both the top and the bottom so that it can be rotated in four directions and fit in multiple utility knives.

The pricing is the same as our regular U102 blades which we offer in both plastic safety packs and red paper packs.

Call 1-800-648-5801 for more information.

The U102-5U Blade Fits in Utility Knives

Our new utility blade fits multiple utility knives.  The utility blade is specially adapted so that all possible four ends of the cutting surface can be utilized for heavy duty and difficult cutting.  The hole and slot combination gives the user the advantage of being able to fit in some other types of utility knives.  The blade may not fit in every style of utility knife.

Man's First Knife

This object is a photo of what is suggested to be one of the first knives known to man.

It was found in Blombos Cave, South Africa and made from pressure flaked silcrete estimated to be 37,000 years old.

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. 

Knife Safety

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.

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 http://modernspecialties.com/KUTTO%20Instructions.htm and follow this link to our Modern Roofer and utility knife safety http://modernspecialties.com/safetyinstructn.htm .

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?   

Do these knives allow for efficient user operation, do they last long and are they heavy duty? 

How expensive are they to buy and are they made overseas, possibly exporting our wealth
and jobs?

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.
