Olfa

Olfa Corporation is a Japanese company renowned for its high-quality cutting tools, particularly utility knives and rotary cutters. Founded in 1956 by Yoshio Okada, Olfa revolutionised the cutting tool industry with the invention of the world's first snap-off blade. This innovation was inspired by the concept of breaking off the used part of a pencil lead to reveal a fresh point, and it transformed the way people approached cutting tasks. The snap-off blade design allowed users to easily maintain a sharp edge without needing to replace the entire blade, making it both convenient and cost-effective.

Since its inception, Olfa has expanded its product range to include a variety of cutting tools, such as rotary cutters, which are especially popular among quilters and craft enthusiasts. The company’s commitment to precision, safety, and durability has made its products a favourite among professionals in industries like construction, design, and art. Olfa’s tools are known for their ergonomic designs, high-quality materials, and the ability to deliver clean, precise cuts. Today, Olfa continues to innovate, maintaining its status as a leader in the cutting tool market, with a legacy of over six decades of quality and ingenuity.
