3 hole blades
by LUTZ BLADES
From razor blade to versatile industrial blade
We move with the times - that is why LUTZ BLADES has been one of the leading manufacturers of 3-hole blades for industrial use for decades. This flexibility is also reflected in the application areas of our products: while the models were once used as razor blades, the geometries are now a widely used classic in technical cutting applications.
The high-quality 3-hole blades are used in a wide range of cutting tasks - for example, when cutting paper or when used as a foil blade - and also offer you the right solution for your requirements.
How you benefit
from LUTZ BLADES 3-hole blades:- Many years of experience in the production of industrial 3-hole blades
- Absolutely consistent quality from blade to blade for successful set use
- Hard coatings significantly extend the life of the blades
- Cleanroom-suitable packaging - also available in customer presentation

How to draw
3-hole blades from LUTZ BLADES made of:- Razor blade sharpness
- Material and coating as required
- Different cutting edge geometries, depending on the application
- Choice of 1-edged and 2-edged blades
The wide range of materials
for our bladesOur product portfolio offers you blades in thicknesses between 0.06 - 3.0 mm and with final hardnesses between 40 - 85 HRc. You also have a wide choice in our material program:
- Carbon steels
- Rust resistant and stainless steels
- High-performance high-speed steels (HSS)
- Tool steels
- Hard metals
- Ceramics
The versatile coating program
for our blades
TiN
Standard hard material with high wear resistance and relatively high coefficient of friction (against reference material steel approx. 0.4 to 0.7), usually gold-colored, safe application range up to approx. 300 °C.
TiC
Has lower wear resistance than TiN with significantly lower coefficient of friction (against reference material steel approx. 0.3 to 0.5), usually anthracite colored.
TiCN
Intermediate coating material between the high wear resistance of TiN and the low coefficient of friction of TiC, relative position between TiN and TiC depending on the ratio of C and N, usually anthracite color.
TiAlN
Has greater oxidation resistance than TiN with comparable coefficient of friction, usually anthracite blue.
ZrN
With a wear resistance similar to TiN, but denser structure (morphology) than TiN and thus greater resistance to pitting under appropriate load, usually steel colored.
DLC
Has high wear resistance with low coefficient of friction (approx. 0.1 against reference material steel); susceptible to impact loads and high temperatures (between 100 and 300 °C depending on structure).
CrN
Has lower wear resistance than TiN. Advantage of CrN: lower residual stresses than TiN. Therefore partially useful for applications with high bending load.
Teflon® (PTFE)
Teflon® non-stick coating (PTFE); due to the very low surface tension, practically no foreign bodies stick to the cutting edge, resistant to acids and alkalis; significantly reduced frictional resistance; the very low static friction allows jerk-free cutting (therefore very suitable for the medical sector); low wear resistance; not suitable for contact with sodium and at temperatures above 250 °C.
Color varnish
Applied over the entire surface, serves as a sorting aid for different material thicknesses and as corrosion protection.
Blueing / Blackening
Applied over the entire surface, light corrosion and starch protection, also serves as a distinguishing aid.
