Our Story

Slice was founded in 2008 by TJ Scimone. Always looking for new ideas, he collaborated with renowned designers to reimagine everyday cutting products, making them safer and easier to use. Since that time, Slice has developed a collection of award-winning safety cutters that increase productivity, lower costs, and, most importantly, reduce injuries. Slice tools are now used in major industries around the world.

Scimone founded Slice as a way to help fund long-term care for his autistic son. One percent of all Slice sales are donated to autism research.

At Slice, we know what’s important. We value safety, innovation, quality, simplicity, and community. These core values are evident in everything we do, from tool design to customer service.

Slice Values
These are the ideas at the heart of the Slice brand. They guide us in every aspect of our business.

Safety: reducing injuries and preventing accidents
Innovation: rethinking safety; fresh perspectives in all we do
Quality: creating quality products and quality relationships
Community: giving one percent for autism research
Simplicity: creating intuitive, easy-to-use products; clear communication with our customers

Fresh Thinking = Smart Design
Slice's innovative tools reflect our fresh thinking. We collaborate with acclaimed designers to reimagine every aspect of tool use from the perspective of safety, ergonomics, and efficiency. The result is a cleanly-designed line of durable, effective, cutting tools.

Slice makes safer versions of traditional tools like box cutters, utility knives, pen cutters, and craft knives. We've also developed ceramic micro-blade technology with innovative tools like our Precision Cutter and Safety Cutter. Whenever possible, Slice tools are ambidextrous and offer tool-free blade replacement.

Slice, Inc. is a proud member of the American Society of Safety Engineers and the National Safety Council.
