The folks at Slice know how to cut — and you will, too, when you have Slice's patented ceramic tools in your classroom, studio, office, or home.
Slice makes its products with a high-tech ceramic called zirconium oxide. Next to diamonds, zirconium oxide is the most durable substance on Earth. Ceramic blades are preferable to metal blades for many reasons. They're ultra-sharp (and stay that way for years), they resist wear and tear, and they won't stick, rust, stain, or dull.
Attached to soft-touch grips, Slice Cutters are also ergonomic, lightweight, and balanced for ease of use.
A portion of every sale of a Slice product helps fund autism research. By purchasing Slice products, you're helping to find a cure for the millions of children and their families who live with autism every day.
Ceramic Box Cutter — This is the world's first ceramic box cutter. Its double-edged ceramic blades are 10 times sharper (and last 10 times longer) than traditional metal blades. A revolutionary, patent-pending design protects hands from accidental injury. Replacement blades are stored in the back of the handle. Ceramic Precision Cutter — As far as cutting tools go, razor blades and craft knives are an accident waiting to happen. With the Slice Precision Cutter's ceramic blade, you can cut just about anything, safely and accurately, including complex shapes, intricate designs, cardstock, and posterboard. The ceramic blade lasts longer than steel and never rusts. With its soft-touch grip, the Slice Precision Cutter is the best thing since, well, since sliced bread. Ceramic Safety Cutter — For art projects, scrapbooking, or simply clipping articles and coupons, don't grab scissors or something else that's not up to the task. Instead, keep a Slice Safety Cutter handy. The ceramic blade slices through projects with ease while keeping fingers safe and sound. The recessed ceramic blade lasts longer than steel and never rusts. Add a soft-touch grip, a built-in magnet, and a key-ring hole, and it's two thumbs up for the Slice Safety Cutter.
How hard is ceramic?
The scientific MOHS scale rates the hardness of various substances. German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs came up with the scale in 1812. He rated the 10 minerals available at the time from 1 to 10. Scientists have been using Mohs' scale ever since, adding more substances as they're discovered. Diamonds are still at the top of the scale. The hardness of Slice ceramics is pretty close to diamonds — approximately 8.2.
How hard is metal?
Where does metal show up? Way down the scale, sad to say. The steel blade of your average knife is a mere 5.5. Pretty flimsy, Slice thinks.
Ceramic is better than metal.
Compared to any metal (even high-carbon steel), ceramic is sharper, harder, and stays that way longer. That's why you'll find ceramics used in satellites, race cars, and even operating rooms. Many surgeons, for example, prefer ceramic, not metal, for bone-replacement operations.
