The inspiration for this incredible idea came from breaking off segments of chocolate bars and analyzing the snap edges of broken glass. This unique invention has since become a worldwide best seller and is commonly referred to as an OLFA CUTTER. The length, width and angle of the blade, established by Mr. Y Okada, has become the worldwide standard for the snap-off blade. OLFA Knowledge Base Catalogue Download WORKS Catalogue Download
