Product Review
Slice’s 10534 precision chisel blade is a safer option for crafters, sculptors, and artists. Made with extremely strong 100 percent zirconium oxide, Slice blades feature our proprietary grind, which is finger friendly and safe to the touch. Our blades are also non-magnetic, non-sparking, non-conductive, chemically inert, and will not rust. They are safe up to 1600 degrees Celsius, they do not require special maintenance, and they can be disposed of without a sharps box. Compared with metal blades, Slice advanced ceramics retain their edge 11 times longer. Sculptors, scratch board artists, makers, and hobbyists appreciate the strong, smooth 10534 blade for its precision, durability, and safety. Slice blades were developed for the industrial market and have become a favorite of safety managers because they are effective and they reduce injuries in manufacturing settings. The same durable design is now available to the home user. The 10534 chisel blade is recommended for scraping thin layers of crafting materials, such as the India ink used by scratch board artists, and for sculpting clay, wax, oil paint, and other fine art materials. This chisel is ideal for shaping, smoothing, and otherwise detailing art and DIY projects, and is a welcome addition to any crafter’s tool kit. We do not recommend using the blade against materials such as wood, extremely hard metals, or concrete.As with all chisels, these blades are designed for pushing and scraping only,and may break if they are used improperly or subjected to a side load. Slice chisels are made from advanced ceramics, which are much harder than steel, and are extremely robust during normal use. Blades come in packs off our. Compatible Slice handles include the 10548 Craft Knife, the 10589 Craft Knife (Safety Cap), and the 10568 Replaceable Blade Scalpel. All Slice tools are ambidextrous and feature no-tool blade change. Slice donates one percent of global profits to autism research.
