Product Description
The Slice 10515 Manual Mini Cutter is one of our most versatile cutting tools. Useful in industrial and home settings alike, the 10515 features an integrated magnet so it’s always handy. As with the auto-retractable version, the Manual Mini Cutter uses Slice 10404 or 10408 Box Cutter Blades with our patent-pending finger-friendly safety edge. Our technology allows the blade to cut effectively while staying safe to the touch. This powerful multi-tool can be adjusted for right- or left-handed use. Slice safety blades last up to 11 times longer than comparable metal blades and will never rust.
From the Manufacturer
Why Ceramic Blades? Hardness & Sharpness.
On the Mohs hardness scale, Metal blades are rated 5.5 vs. Ceramic blades at 8.2, second only to diamonds. Harder edges maintain sharpness longer, cut better, and require replacement far less frequently. In fact, depending on use, you can go weeks or months without having to replace a single ceramic blade. They also last up to 11x longer!
Saving Money Just Makes Sense.
A single Slice ceramic blade is equivalent up to 11 high-end double-sided metal blades or up to 22 high-end single sided metal blades. In terms of safety, less blade changes also mean less risk of injury.
Packed with Features
10515 features an integrated magnet so it’s always handy. The mini cutter features a textured slider for easy use.

Our safety is in the blade
When industrial safety managers first encounter our products, they try to compare them with existing safety knives, but Slice tools are in a class of their own. While other manufacturers redesigned their knife handles for safety, we're the only company that redesigned the blade itself.
About the Startup
Describe your product in 3 words.
Safe. Elegant. Innovative.
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
Slice has a commitment to donate 1% of all sales to fund Autism research, primarily through our main benefactor, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford University.
What makes your product special?
Our proprietary blade manufacturing process combines a unique sharpening angle and thicker ceramic material, resulting in a very unique patented blade that’s safer to the touch vs. metal, and requires pressure to initiate the cut — via our handles. Hence, general blade handling and blade-replacement with Slice ceramic blades is infinitely safer vs. those same activities with traditional metal blades, yet still allows for a wide range of cutting applications.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
You can’t simply duplicate a metal blade in ceramic material and achieve what we have created with our current products. There’s a tremendous amount of engineering required on not only the blades and handles individually, but there’s also an incredible amount of engineering required on the combination of the handles and the blades working together in order to produce the desired balance of safer-usage and cutting capability. Even today, for our next generation of products that are currently under development, we spend the majority of our time finding the right balance between handle and blade through trial and error and what seems like endless prototypes. The best part definitely has to be seeing peoples first-time reactions when cutting cardboard with Slice and they realize how awesome the Slice ceramic blade is.
