Safely dispose of all blades. A dull blade is an unsafe blade. Significantly more force is required to make a cut with a dull or worn blade than with a sharp one. Further, always begin a cutting job with a fresh blade segment. USE THE CUTTER AS A CUTTER Many injuries occur when cutters and knives are used for purposes other than those for which the product was designed. Never use a cutter for any purpose other than cutting. Further, never strike the cutter with a hammer or similar device to “force” a cut. This will eventually lead to cutter failure and potential injury. SELECT THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB Be sure to use the appropriate cutter and blade according to the material and thickness being cut. www.olfa.com.

  • BILL ANALYSIS Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee SB 5782
    Washington State BILL House of Representatives Office of Program Research ANALYSIS Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee SB 5782 Brief Description: Concerning spring blade knives. Sponsors: Senators Zeiger, Fortunato, Takko, Padden, Palumbo and Wilson, L.. Brief Summary of Bill Removes "spring blade knife" from the list of dangerous weapons in the dangerous weapons statute, and provides that a spring blade knife is not a dangerous weapon. Amends other statutory provisions to provide that possession of a spring blade knife in certain locations, such as schools and jails, remains generally unlawful. Hearing Date: 3/22/19 Staff: Cece Clynch (786-7195). Background: State Law. Dangerous Weapons. A "spring blade knife" is a dangerous weapon under the dangerous weapons statute, which generally prohibits, and makes a gross misdemeanor: the possession of slung shots, sand clubs, metal knuckles, or spring blade knives; the furtive carrying, with intent to conceal, any dagger, dirk, pistol, or other dangerous weapon; and the use of any device for suppressing the noise of a firearm. "Spring blade knife" is defined to mean any knife, including a prototype, model, or other sample, with a blade that is automatically released by a spring mechanism or other mechanical device, or any knife having a blade which opens, or falls, or is ejected into position by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal thrust or movement. A knife that contains a spring, detent, or other mechanism designed to create a bias toward closure of the blade and that requires physical exertion applied to the blade by hand, wrist, or arm to overcome the bias toward closure to assist in opening the knife is not a spring blade knife.

The Razors-and-Blades Myth(s) Randal C. Pickert The razors-and-bladesstory offers a foundationalunderstanding of a key area of economics and strategy: invest in an installed base by selling the razor handles at low prices or even giving them away, then sell the razor blades at high prices to justify the prior investment. Large chunks of modern technological life-from VCRs and DVD players to video game systems like the Xbox and now e-book readers-seem to operate subject to the same dynamics of razors-and-blades. The actual history of razors-and-bladesis much richer than the standard story suggests. At the point that Gillette could most readily have played the strategy-from 1904 to 1921, during the period of the initialpatents-it did not do so.
