What Is a Carpet Knife?
A carpet knife is a tool used to cut flooring materials like carpet, vinyl, rubber, roofing felt, and other heavy-duty materials. Unlike hobby knives or standard razor blades, a carpet knife features a thicker, often curved blade and an ergonomic handle for improved leverage, control, and safety.Morakniv’s carpet knives are specifically designed to cut tough materials with precision—without compromising grip or accuracy. Ideal for environments where efficiency and attention to detail matter.
How to Use the Knife – Practical Tips
- Keep the blade clean and sharp. Our knives are made to last, but be sure to sharpen or replace the blade when it becomes dull.
- Use steady pressure—the curved blade is meant for pull-cutting, offering better control and strength.
- For straight cuts, guide the knife along a ruler or metal edge.
- Always store your knife with the edge guard included for safety.
