History of OLFA Utility Knives: It began in 1956 when Mr. Yoshio Okada, the founder of the OLFA company, sought a solution for the need for blades that would not lose their strength and sharpness. The superior quality of OLFA blades is the perfect result of a multi-stage manufacturing process. All OLFA blades are produced at perfect angles for high-level sharpness, long-lasting durability, and balanced cutting. The blades do not lose their hardness during tapered sizing and sharpening processes. Today, OLFA blades have become the international standard in the (snap-off) blade industry with their angles, lengths, and widths. The name OLFA consists of two Japanese words, which translate to "blade break." The parallel, slanted rectangles in the OLFA logo represent (snap-off) blades.
