STANLEY CARBIDE UTILITY BLADES
Stanley claims its Carbide Utility Blade stays sharp five times longer than standard blades. It’s not solid carbide or carbide-tipped; instead, it’s a steel blade with carbide powder bound to an edge that is then sharpened with a diamond wheel. Since it’s mostly steel, the blade is as flexible as any other.
