Diamaze® Blade Series

Diamaze® blades combine the unparalleled hardness of diamond with an extremely sharp cutting edge.
The technological breakthrough achieved with Diamaze® blades involves two specialized processes: nanocrystalline diamond coating on carbide blades and plasma sharpening of the blade edge. First, a nanocrystalline diamond coating is applied to a carbide substrate. Then, an ultra-thin layer of pure diamond is polished using an innovative plasma sharpening technique developed by GFD researchers. The edge is sharpened down to just a few nanometers, comprising only a few atoms. This process has, for the first time, successfully combined the world’s hardest material with the sharpest possible edge.
