Olfa, founded in 1956 in Osaka, Japan by Yoshio Okada, is the first brand that comes to mind when one thinks of utility knives. The brand name is derived from a Japanese phrase meaning "to break a blade" and has today become a standard in the utility/cutting knife industry worldwide.

The brand's most important invention is the snap-off blade system; the dull tip is simply snapped off and discarded, ensuring a sharp cutting surface at all times. In the multi-stage production process, the blades are processed in a way that they do not lose their hardness during tapering and sharpening, which ensures long-lasting and balanced cutting performance.

The collection includes standard narrow and wide utility knives, automatic retractable safety knives, 45-degree angle specialized mat cutters, circle cutters with a 4-30 cm diameter range, knives specifically for carpet and fabric cutting, and special models designed for arts, crafts, and hobbies. In addition to these, craft knife replacement blades and a wide variety of replacement blade packs are also part of the range. This extensive selection caters to various needs, from model making and paper/cardboard cutting to fabric and carpet cutting and technical drawing tasks.

As one of the authorized dealers of Olfa in Turkey, Karin Sanat carries the brand's utility knife product range in its entirety. All products are supplied through official distributor channels with an original product guarantee and are offered through our Fatih and Nişantaşı stores as well as karinsanat.com.
