Most durable knives
Sapphire,while not as hard as diamond or tungsten carbide, is still hundreds of times harder than steel.This hardness translates into sharper edges and increased durability.Take care to avoid contact of the edge with anything other than your sample and it Witt last for thousands of sections freeing you from searching for razor blades on a weekly basis. The sapphire knife fits tightly in the standard knife holder of the Vibratome 1000 Classic,1000 Plus,1500,and 3000 series products.
