Single-Bevel Dished Knives are precision-engineered slitter knives designed for inspection tables, slitting machines, and slitter rewinders. They are commonly used for precision shear slitting of labels, flexible laminates, adhesive laminates, nonwoven materials, films, paper, paperboard, aluminum foil, and other web materials.
These single-bevel slitting knives are typically installed in slitting systems equipped with mechanical or pneumatic knife holders. The single-bevel cutting geometry provides a reliable cutting profile for medium- and low-speed slitting applications where dimensional accuracy, stable cutting performance, and material adaptability are important.
For standard configurations, the front face of the knife is precision-ground to provide a sharp and consistent cutting edge, while the back face can be sandblasted for a clean and uniform surface finish. Precision grinding on both faces is also available for applications with specific surface finish or dimensional requirements.
Unlike flat slitter knives commonly used on high-speed converting equipment, single-bevel dished knives are particularly suitable for medium- and low-speed slitting systems. Their dished design and single-bevel edge provide good adaptability to different materials and slitting conditions.
The knife is secured to the knife holder using screws, snap-lock mechanisms, or ball-lock systems to form the upper knife assembly. During operation, the upper assembly works together with the corresponding bottom knife to create a controlled shear-cutting action.
As a custom slitter knife manufacturer, we can manufacture single-bevel dished knives, bottom knives, knife holders, and related slitting components according to your machine model, technical drawing, existing sample, dimensions, and application requirements.
Single-Bevel Cutting Edge
The single-bevel geometry provides a precise and stable cutting edge for controlled shear slitting of a wide range of web materials.
Precision-Ground Cutting Surface
The front face is precision-ground to achieve a sharp, consistent edge. Both front and back faces can be precision-ground when tighter surface or dimensional requirements are needed
Dished Knife Design
The dished configuration is suitable for slitting systems using mechanical or pneumatic knife holders and can be manufactured to match the required upper knife assembly.
Stable Medium- and Low-Speed Slitting
These slitting machine knives are well suited to medium- and low-speed applications where consistent cutting quality and dimensional accuracy are essential.
Multiple Locking Configurations
Single-bevel dished knives can be configured for screw, snap-lock, or ball-lock mounting systems according to the knife holder design.
Custom Manufacturing
Knife diameter, bore, thickness, bevel geometry, edge profile, surface finish, and other dimensions can be customized according to your equipment and application
Single-bevel dished slitter knives are suitable for a wide range of web materials, including:
Paper
Paperboard
Aluminum foil
Plastic films
Adhesive tapes
Flexible laminates

You can provide a machine model, technical drawing, existing knife sample, or dimensional specifications. Our technical team can evaluate the requirements and recommend a suitable knife and holder configuration.

In shear slitting systems, the single-bevel dished knife normally functions as part of an upper knife assembly rather than as an isolated cutting component.
The upper knife assembly consists of the dished knife and corresponding knife holder, while the lower assembly uses a matching bottom knife. During operation, the upper and bottom knives work together to create the required shear-cutting action.
We can manufacture and supply:
● Single-bevel dished knives
● Bottom knives
● Mechanical knife holders
● Pneumatic knife holders
● Knife mounting components
● Matched upper and bottom knife assemblies
This allows customers to source compatible slitting components from a single slitter knife manufacturer, reducing the risk of dimensional mismatch between the knife, holder, and bottom knife.

Single-bevel dished knives are commonly used in:
● Label slitting
● Flexible packaging
● Film slitting
● Paper converting
● Paperboard converting
● Aluminum foil processing
● Adhesive tape production
● Lamination
● Nonwoven processing
● Inspection and rewinding
● General web slitting
They are particularly suitable for medium- and low-speed slitting applications requiring stable cutting performance and reliable dimensional accuracy.
Custom Manufacturer: Manufactured according to drawings, samples, or machine specifications.
Precision Single-Bevel Edge: Single-bevel geometry provides controlled and accurate cutting performance for web slitting applications.
High-Quality Knife Materials: Tool steel, high-speed steel, powder metallurgy steel, and other material options are available.
Precision Grinding: Precision-ground cutting edges support clean cuts, stable slitting, and consistent knife performance.
Flexible Customization: Custom diameters, bore sizes, thicknesses, bevel angles, edge geometries, and tolerances are available.

Abrasive Cutting Knives are industrial cutting tools specifically designed for cutting abrasive rolls such as sandpaper and abrasive cloth.
Dished knives are circular cutting tools used for shear-type slitting. Unlike completely flat “flat knives,” their blades feature a concave geometric shape (resembling a plate or dish), a design that enables them to generate specific lateral cutting forces during rotational shearing.
Adhesive materials: Self-adhesive labels, adhesive tape, various composite films (die-cutting can create a temporary seal along the cut edges).
Elastic/soft materials: Rubber, non-woven fabric (NWF), textiles, tissue paper.
Abrasive/hard materials: Materials such as sandpaper that can quickly wear down standard sharp blades.
