We stock the original Modern Roofer ® knife and U102 ® BowTie blades which were designed in the 1930's.

Don't settle for cheap imitations of our products.

Our blades come in various forms such as bowtie, 
hook, deep hook, U102, K17, and K9 blades click on the blades button above for more information.
 

NOT ALL KNIVES AND BLADES ARE MADE EQUAL !
 U102 BLADE         U107 BLADE        U101 BLADE         U100 BLADE

Our blades are made of steel having a higher carbon content than others that makes them longer lasting and sharper, and feature a unique cut, which out performs other competitive products.

Our knives are made out of long lasting zinc-plated steel, which is more resistant to rust than other commonly used finishes, and feature high quality long lasting blades.  We manufacture the KuttO ® safety carton opener and other carton cutter knives in the USA. They have continuously adjustable blades and guards.  You can purchase Holsters for them here.
