At MARTOR, we value giving our customers the most individualized experience in the industry; however, many of the same questions pop up during discussions. We’ve put together some of the most common questions we receive and answered them so that you feel confident about our knives, our service, and our mission.

What makes MARTOR’s knives different?

How long do MARTOR’s blades last?

The lifespan of each MARTOR product depends on what it is being used for, how it is being used, and its frequency of use. Abrasive materials, such as metal, dull blades quickly. Contact us to learn more about the best blade for your goals.

Adam Zoern - Safety Sales Consultant

Does MARTOR offer food-grade safety knives?

Yes! We offer a wide variety of food-grade safety knives, including disposable knives. Our food-grade knives are metal detectable and crafted with stainless steel. Additionally, our knives can easily break down for thorough cleanings and come with tool-free blade changes.

Andrew Luebke - Safety Sales Consultant

Does MARTOR have auto retractable knives?

Yes! We offer several types of automatic retractable knives, including fully automatic retractable and semi-automatic retractable knives. The choice between these is a balance between safety considerations, the material being cut, and the speed of the job. For more information, please take a look at our knives in Level 3 and Level 4.

How long will it take to receive my MARTOR product?

Delivery times will vary from product to product, but in many instances, we can ship the same day as your order is placed.

Chrissy Gottfried - MARTOR USA Vice President

Do I still need to wear gloves with a safety knife?

Wearing gloves is a personal decision, but it’s never a bad idea to equip yourself with PPE. If you were using gloves prior to making the switch to our knives, why trade the gloves for the knife when you can have both? Our knives themselves are PPE, but wearing gloves will help reduce your risk of injury.

Paul DeTennis - MARTOR USA Director of Sales

Where is MARTOR’s “all-in-one” tool?

If a product has both an exposed blade and a concealed blade, we find that people will almost always default to the exposed blade. Rather than opting for an “all-in-one” tool, it’s better from a safety perspective to equip yourself with the right tool for the job.
