Tire and Rubber Cutting Knives
Isaac Hyde’s 19th-century industrial peers included Benjamin Franklin Goodrich, Harvey Firestone, and Charles Goodyear.
And today, the companies that bear their names use the products that bear his. That’s staying power, which must be earned by being a dependable supplier of quality products for generations!
Despite the inroads of automation, tire production still requires a lot of handwork and precise cuts. And in both areas, plant managers look to Hyde blades – from heavily automated machines that use circular blades to cut the raw material to technicians using hand pin vent trimmers to finish tires as they come hot from their molds.
You’ll also find Hyde products used in the manufacture of so many other rubber items. Hoses and belts, material for rubber floor mats, conveyor belts, and various rubber parts all go under one Hyde cutting knife or another during the fabrication process.

Hand Knives
The original offerings to come out of Isaac Hyde’s workshop in 1875 were hand knives for the leather and rubber industries. Users today still look to Hyde to meet the challenges of their most demanding applications requiring special hand knives when cutting, slitting, and trimming.
