OLFA Corporation founder Yoshio Okada invented the world's first snap-off blade cutter in 1956 and the first rotary cutter in 1979. Since then, OLFA has been committed to making tools that improve how people cut materials by developing products that not only attain an inimitable level of sharpness but are also practical to use.
OLFA's professional-grade tools are used at construction sites, in packaging and shipping operations, and office work, as well as tools used in the artistic world for papercrafts, quilting, modeling and more. OLFA makes a wide range of products that are used in diverse ways.
OLFA brand blades are made with top quality materials, forged with technologies that stem from traditional sword-making, sharpened with technologies that give a blade life, and ultimately finished with the craftsmanship that brings all of this together. The holders and handles that allow users to gain the full cutting performance of these high-quality blades are designed, developed and manufactured in Japan and subjected to stringent quality checks throughout the process. OLFA is proud of the unwavering quality that goes into every product it makes.
OLFA recently showcased its safety blades, including its SK-16 quick-change concealed blade safety knife with reinforced handle & metal tip, at the 2025 NSC Safety Congress…
