High Speed Steel – Premium quality hardened steel. These blades keep their sharp edge longer than the carbon blades. High speed blades are offered in the following variations:
- Straight Front: Soft goods such as cotton, fleece, wool, jersey or knit fabric.
- Round Tip/Angle Tip: Hard goods such as denim, canvas, duck and Kevlar.
- Saw Tooth: Cardboard.
- Wave Edge: Materials that fuse such as rayon, nylon, urethane or other synthetics.
Teflon Blades – Some straight front and Wave Edge blades are available with a Teflon Coating which reduces blade heat while cutting. This prevents material from fusing during cutting.
