OLFA CK-1 Craft Knife

OLFA is a world-renowned brand synonymous with high-quality cutting tools. The company was founded by Yoshio Okada in 1956, who is credited with inventing the world's first snap-off blade cutter. This invention was inspired by the segments of a chocolate bar and the sharp edge of glass shards.

The brand is headquartered in Osaka, Japan, and maintains a strong commitment to Japanese manufacturing excellence. Almost all OLFA products, including the CK-1 craft knife shown in the image, are manufactured in Japan to ensure precise quality control and durability. The brand remains under the ownership of OLFA Corporation, preserving its legacy as a specialized leader in professional and hobbyist cutting equipment.
