A buyer guide for selecting straight blades and shear knives.

Measure the complete blade.

Record length, width and thickness. For replacement blades, include hole diameter, hole spacing, countersinks, slots and the cutting-edge profile. These details matter as much as the overall size.

Describe the equipment and material.

Guillotine, shear, shredder and converting machines use long blades differently. Tell the supplier whether your line cuts steel, paper, carton, plastic or recyclable feedstock.

Choose a direct discussion.

A factory-direct quote can make it easier to clarify drawings and production requirements. Baitian Blade in Nanjing accepts custom inquiries and welcomes buyers to search “Baitian Blade” on social media for brand information.
