Fantastic Shaper Knives

Precision Shaper Knives Available

What kinds of shaper knives have you been considering lately? When it comes to woodworking, precision is key. At Hot Knives, we understand this and have dedicated our business to providing you with the most accurate, high-quality shaper knives on the market. We have the following available:

• Corrugated-back and 2-hole* Amana shaper knives
• CMT-style shaper knives

*We refer to the Amana/CMT style knife as a two-hole knife because it mounts using just two holes. It’s obvious the knives clearly have three holes, but the third hole is irrelevant. If we have to design and make knives totally from blank steel, we only incorporate a two-hole mount for the knives. So, overall, we refer to this style knife as a 2-hole knife even though many of these blanks clearly have three holes.

Whether you need one set or forty, we've got you covered. Call Hot Knives today to place your order. Free quotes and UPS 2nd day air shipping upgrades are available.
