History of OLFA Utility Knives; It began in 1956 when Mr. Yoshio Okada, the founder of OLFA, sought a solution for the need for a blade that would not lose its 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-grade clarity, long life, 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 and translates to "blade break." The parallel, right-leaning rectangles in the Olfa logo represent the (Snap-off) blades.
