Unlike many alternative products, the Lenox Edge has been designed to prevent the blade from shattering when under extreme pressure.
Extensive tests have shown that even when the blade is forced to bend, which would usually result in many blades shattering, it will not splinter under the pressure and will remain intact.
These innovative blades are manufactured from a unique bi-metal material with the cutting edge electron beam welded to a flexible alloy body.
This allows the blade to be far more flexible in use, preventing it from shattering and causing injury to the user.
Tim Hearn, Group Product Manager for the company explains: "When we design and develop new products, performance and safety are always the key criteria.
The new Lenox Edge blade is not only longer lasting and safer in general applications but allows tradesmen to tackle tough cutting jobs that they would be reluctant to use traditional blades on".
The Lenox Edge not only offers tradesmen complete piece of mind but performance tests have shown that its shatter resistance nature also offers up to three times the life expectancy of standard carbon steel blades.
