Can this knife cut tires? I want to make planters and other crafts out of old car tires, but what I have just won't cut it.

Ultimately I don't know. It's a great knife. So far it's maintained it's edge really well. I'm a brewer at a craft brewery in Huntington Beach. I use my knife for opening grain and hop bags. Material not quite as tough and resistant as rubber tires. My guess is that over time any knife is going to lose it's edge on such materials but based on my experience this knife with maintain it's edge for a long time. The quality of this knife is superb. I'd take a shot on it.

Probably would, but it would be slow going requiring a lot of strength. Its a good knife but I don't think its that good. I would try a small saw.

Knife is very sharp, Cutting thru sidewall might be OK, But not sure about the rest of tire..

Go to youtube and look up some videos, it looks just like a big giant bowie knife with a handle made from old car tires

Wouldn't be very effective, no more than any other plastic shovel. It's "blade" is probably a half inch wide. Look into backpacking latrine digging shovels maybe? Cold steel has some knives meant for actual stabbing made of composite plastic. This is just for training I think.

You can cut on it but your knife won't stay sharp very long. I have cut on mine i don't see cuts, but I'm also careful. And there should be no rust, i haven't got any rust spots or anything else it is S.S.& this is not cheap S.S. 410 S.S. will rust if a magnet sticks to it it is cheap.I tried the magnet & no problem. Good luck. never mind you don't need luck, we sure love ours.

It is very difficult to sharpen a serrated knife, but because it is called a "cake/bread" knife, and is only meant to cut softer items, it should rarely need to be sharpened. This knife would not do a great job of cutting brisket or other meat. For that you want a carving knife, and you can find a bunch by searching "granton carving knife" on Amazon. Those knives will be much better for the job.

I dont believe so. Its for veggies. I think it would be like any other knife and would squash down the cheese as you cut. Potatoes and tomatoes arent supposed to stick to it because of the little grooves, but they do anyway.

Sure can. Make sure to use a high-quality ultra-fine finish blade when you rip it to width, and go slowly. You don't want to splinter the edges.

If I were in your shoes I'd use the liners and Slime tubes. The liners are very very tough. I couldn't bite through it and it was very difficult to penetrate it with the point of my box cutting blade. The Slime tubes work well. Before I install the tire liners I ran over some glass with my Slime tube so it was a pretty good size hole. After I pulled the glass out I was able to put some more air into the punctured Slime tube and I made it 6 miles back home having to stop 3 times to add a little more air. Great product.

What is the actual problem? Is it not cutting at all? Mine had a protective sticker on the back blade when I received it. It also only works with the cutters pointed down into the vegetable. I use a fork to hold the veggie down and protect my fingers. Not sure what else to suggest without knowing what is happening.

I would not know why it could not be cut. I would use a box cutter to do it as sissors might have a difficult time doing it.

I used a very sharp scissor for the garden to cut this. It's a little tuff but I think it works fine. Probably a blade cutter would be successful too. Good luck!

Sorry, I am not sure. If it is too long you can always cut it down. I had to do that on mine, with 700 mm tires.

Hi, for the obvious Safety Police reasons this sort of question falls out of the scope of valuable answers.For cutting metal you should use a blade that is made for that purpose. They are not expensive.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

You can cut everything. Not as well as a specialized cheese knife which has thin oval indentations on the blade but terrific knife overall.

I must use tin snips and if the edges are rough file them down a little. Hacksaw might work as well if you take the rubber out and cut the rubber separately with scizzors.
