Inspired by OLFA founder Yoshio Okada’s search of a solution that enables blades to continually offer a sharp edge, the OLFA snap-off blades have become the standard in snap-off blade engineering and design since their invention by Okada in 1956. With a simple snap, a 9mm blade can be renewed up to 13 times, offering professionals one more way to save both time and money – and improve their productivity.

So then, where does the name “OLFA” come from – if not from the renowned inventor of the snap-off blade? OLFA is an abbreviation of two Japanese words which translate “to break a blade”, and with every instance of this word, fans of OLFA can forever be reminded not of who invented this celebrated tool, but WHY this was product was invented…and why it is so fundamentally valuable and highly regarded among professionals.

And with its proven success and history, OLFA continues to raise the bar in quality product engineering and performance:
