LUTZ BLADES inside

Precision and sharpness –
for your success!

It all began in 1922, when Friedrich Lutz founded a job store for sharpening razor blades. Since then, we have been making blades, not knives. A subtle difference to which the current managing partner, Alexander Lutz, attaches great importance. Because LUTZ BLADES is a tool manufacturer and that is how the blade is understood here: as an industrial tool that lasts and is sharp – and meets the customer’s expectations all around.

Precision is our philosophy

Whether “razor sharp” for the finest cuts or “extremely stable” for impact and pressure cuts: Precision has been the philosophy of our company for more than 100 years – in everything we think, produce and deliver to our customers. Precision guides us from the idea to the finished product to the optimal solution for every cutting task. Because this is the only way we can meet the demands that customers place on us. In every development and manufacturing step – blade by blade.

To achieve this, we are committed to high quality, precision and sharpness in our work. Together with our customers, we define all relevant parameters necessary to meet individual requirements – for more sharpness and tool life. In doing so, we always see ourselves as a partner to our customers and focus not only on current but also on future customer needs.

We want our customers to be successful, because their success is our success.
