Hand Knives
Hyde makes custom-tailored “tools of the trade” that professionals in many fields use to work quickly and precisely.
Since 1875, the Hyde name has meant the best hand knives and mill blades your money can buy.
In fact, every time an American workman picks up a hand knife to cut almost anything, it’s a good bet that it was manufactured right here in Southbridge, Massachusetts.
Many of the original Isaac Hyde designs are still produced and sold today under the I. P. Hyde® brand—without any significant changes.
Yet dozens of new designs have been created over the years to perform highly specific jobs in America’s factories and job sites. And even when a design doesn’t change, the materials often will improve durability and performance.
One example of this design update is the introduction of ergonomic handles, which have taken traditional hand knife designs and made them user-friendly again. Some of the more common knives and blades we make include:
- Long Point and Short Point Knives
- Square Point Knives
- Roofing Knives
- Carpet Knives
- Cable Knives
- Skiver Knives
- Stitcher Knives
- Hook Knives
- Tire Cutting Knives
- Skinning Knife
- Hawkbill Knives
- Construction Knife
- Hacking Knife
- Mini Tube Cutter
- Shingle Knife
- Pin Vent Knife
- Mill Knife
- Belting Knife
- Splicer Knife
- Flashing Knife
It would be impossible to list all the jobs Hyde hand knives and mill blades do. If you hack, pry, cut, shear, trim, slit, or slice – virtually every material imaginable – then you need a Hyde blade.
They work at everything from shoeing horses to trimming molded parts, harvesting bananas to fabricating window shades, making pottery, removing windshields, and installing flooring to cutting stencils and insulation.
The list is endless and expanding every day as Hyde creates new knives to meet the new applications you develop. Professionals from many different industries use hand knives and mill blades, some of which include:
- Flooring and carpet
- Drywall
- Roofing
- Agriculture
- Wood carving
