SMK also engineers and manufactures replacement knives for "The Longest Lasting Packaging Knives available".

 

Our system is simply: "Toothed Packaging Knives" typically do not get re-ground, so it makes sense to use the best material available consisting of High-Speed Steel or Powdered Metal Material to maximize wear and drastically improve downtime. Then use the Best Wear Coating Available for the application. 90% of Packaging Knives used cannot come close to our High-Quality Packaging Knives. Call or email SMK for a quote.


SMK Engineer's every item manufactured to SMK's specifications matching the correct material, hardness, Flatness, Parallelism and Radial & Axial Runout specifications to the application. SMK specializes in Standard Knives, Custom Knives, Super Precision, Hard to Make or Obsolete Knives.
