Kinki Blade Industries has a complete production system from the design stage to molding, heat treatment and polishing to meet any need their clients might have. Producing excellent cutting instruments for a wide range of uses, their production system also allows them to meet high-mix low-volume orders.

Paper, Cardboard and Anything Else…

Kinki Blade Industries was founded in June 1960 with an affiliation to the Western Japan Paper Product Machine Industry Association, focusing on cutting implements for paper products and cardboard. Using their decades of experience and advanced technology, they produce distinctive cutting implements for leading paper companies as well as general consumers.

One of their famed products is the slitter, a cutting tool that produces essentially no paper scraps. Other products include their tin coated cutting blades, ultra-hard cutters, corrugated cardboard cutting knives, flexo-prisulo-use blades, cutting tools, and shredding knives. They also provide sharpening services. In addition to cutting implements, they also produce parts for machines that produce ruled lines, knife holders and other products.
