A look back
Even in the Stone Age, people understood how to manufacture cutting tools. They recognized that extremely hard flint could be shaped into a sharp and robust cutting edge by splitting it, creating the so-called hand axe. The first multi-functional tool was born. It was often used as a knife, spearhead, or hatchet.
In today’s industrial society, the requirements for cutting tools and their areas of application have expanded significantly. Stone Age people had only limited resources for manufacturing their tools. Today, the production of a blade is individual and complex for every industry and every purpose.
Ultimately, the interplay of various technological parameters (e.g., material selection, coating, grinding geometry) is decisive in whether a blade achieves the desired result in use. As a successful manufacturer of industrial blades, LUTZ has been dealing with this topic for more than 100 years and has built up an invaluable wealth of expertise as a result.
However, the knowledge and technical requirements to manufacture, for example, the “sharpest blade in the world,” the microtome blade, are only part of the success. It also requires people who bring this knowledge to the customers.
The LUTZ GROUP currently has four of its own sales offices worldwide with local consulting teams and a network of partners in numerous countries across the globe. We will continue to expand our market segments and are therefore constantly looking for new international sales partners to carry our LUTZ BLADES brand and our blades into the world.
