Veneer Slicer Knife
Veneer slicer knives produce wide sheets of natural and engineered veneer with a bright, smooth face, reducing sanding work after slicing. Available in several steel grades — high speed steel, BF anti-bluing white steel, 2HS and tool steel — matched to your machine and the species you slice.
- Drawing: required for every order (PDF / DWG / sketch) — the drawing governs
- Material options: HSS / BF anti-bluing white steel / 2HS / tool steel
- Hardness: HRC 57–62
- Edge straightness: ≤ 0.05 mm over full length
- Machines: Horizontal and vertical slicers

Machines these blades are made for
Slicer knives are long, thin and unforgiving: flatness and edge straightness decide whether the veneer comes off even. These are the slicer builders our blades are commonly supplied for.
Brand names describe machine compatibility only — we are not affiliated with, or an authorised distributor of, these manufacturers. Send the model or a drawing and we confirm the fit before production.
Customisation — any size, hole pattern or edge angle
| Length | 1550–4200 mm |
| Width | 175–200 mm |
| Thickness | 16–24 mm |
| Edge | 2HS / BF anti-bluing, HRC 63.5–64 for surface finish |
| Hole pattern | To your slicer's clamping beam |
| Straightness | ≤ 0.05 mm per metre |
| Order size | 1 piece for a trial, then batch |

Frequently asked questions
What does the BF anti-bluing treatment do?
BF is a surface treatment that stops the blade from staining light-coloured veneer - the blue-grey discolouration that appears when moisture and steel react during slicing. It matters most on maple, birch, ash and other pale species used for face veneer.
HSS, 2HS or tool steel - which one?
HSS keeps its edge longest on hard and abrasive species and high daily output. 2HS is a middle option for mixed production. Tool steel is the economical choice for softer species and lower volumes. We hold 14 size and material combinations so the choice can follow your species and duty cycle.
What do you need from me to quote a slicer knife?
The slicer model, knife length, width and thickness, the veneer thickness you slice, and the species you cut most often. A drawing or a photo of the old knife with dimensions is enough if the model is not marked.
Can a used slicer knife be resharpened?
Yes. Slicer and peeling knives can be reground and refurbished to extend service life; how many times depends on how much body thickness remains. Send a photo of the edge and we will tell you whether regrinding is still worthwhile.
