Flat edged knife blade

[Dengue]

Does anyone know of a Stanley knife type of blade with one edge flat, as in the blade profile sketch below?

Exacto used to have them, not as wide as Stanley, give a hobby shop a try, I beleive blackwoods also stock a fair selection of blades

Is that the profile of the blade or the profile of the bevel cutting edge?

Hi, thanks for your comments.

I should have made it a bit clearer. It is the profile of the cutting edge. Imagine looking at a knife pointed at you, sharp edge pointing down. In the sketch below, A is a normal blade profile, where as B is the one I want with one side of the cutting edge flat. In a Stanley knife style of blade.

I can't say I have ever seen such a thing, they always tend to have an equally beveled edge like in fig. A. I'm not sure what you want to cut but perhaps giving an old hand plane blade a hone and use that as a knife, or even grinding the edge off of an existing Stanley knife type blade and honing a new edge on it. A lot of mucking around but might do the trick if you can't find any blades around.

All the best. Tom.

Cheese knives have the profile you want.

Trouble is they are stainless steel and you won't get the edge you want.

Get an old blade from a power hacksaw and grind it to the bevel you want. They are substantial enough to be used as a knife and fitted with a wooden handle are very nice to use. To break a length off the blade first wrap it in a cloth and then snap by holding it in a vice, this prevents shrapnel flying everywhere. You could use an ordinary hacksaw blade if you want, it would be fairly narrow to hold and less stable being a lot thinner.

I think China has found what I was really looking for. Many thanks for this, and for the links

Jill,

You could also try hobby shops. What you are looking for in that profile is a scalpel blade.
