Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of blade does a utility knife use?
A: With some exceptions, utility knife blades are universal and will work with any standard utility knife. Depending on the knife you own or buy, utility blades either screw into the knife or latch in and release with the push of a button.
It’s important to know that some snap-off utility knives aren’t compatible with standard utility knife blades. You can buy a pack of specialty blades for knives of this type.
Q: How long is the blade on a utility knife?
A: Box cutter blades measure 3/4-inch in length, and they’re the shortest kind of blade that works with utility knives. Certain carpet knife blades can be as long as 4 to 6 inches, but these are for longer knives of 8 inches.
In most cases, having a longer or shorter blade doesn’t make a difference, as you’ll often need to use only the tip of the blade to cut, score or sharpen materials. Check out our guide — Find the Best Work Gloves for Your Project — for tips to reduce risks when using your knife.
Q: What are utility blades made of?
A: The most popular material for utility blades is carbon steel. Blades in this material are flexible and have a high carbon content to make them razor sharp. Choose ceramic zirconium oxide blades if you prefer hard blades that never bend. Stainless steel blades won’t rust or corrode easily. And for high wear resistance and durability, look for tungsten carbide blades. These can last longer than any steel blades available.
