Six part families cover most of a tobacco line.
Dimensions, steel grade and hardness are set per order. Edge finish is held constant across repeat deliveries so machine settings stay valid.

Tobacco Cutting Knives — Rotary Blades, Shear Knives & Trim Knives for Tobacco Processing
Steellogy manufactures industrial knives for the tobacco processing industry — tobacco cutter knives, cut-off knives, trim knives and counter parts, made as replacement knives for tobacco cutting and making machines. Every knife is manufactured to the buyer-approved drawing in our own plant in Poland, at European pricing.
Rotary Cutting Knives for Tobacco
In a tobacco cutter, a rotating knife drum cuts leaf and stem into uniform strands against a bottom (bed) knife, with a grinding wheel sharpening the knives in-machine. Knife condition is a quality driver: dull knives lower cut quality and increase tobacco loss and machine stops — an effect that accelerates as the share of reconstituted tobacco in the blend rises. Steellogy tobacco cutter knives are ground to a repeatable edge so cut quality does not drift between deliveries; edge geometry follows your drawing or a worn sample.
Shear Knives and Trim Blades
On the secondary side of the line, the cigarette rod is cut to length by a rotating cut-off knife, filter rods are cut by their own dedicated knives, and tipping paper and overwrap film have separate cutting stations — each a distinct wear part with its own geometry. These knives need dimensional accuracy and surface finish for clean, burr-free cuts at production speed. Our cut-off, filter and trim knives are precision-ground to drawing-controlled tolerances.
Machine Compatibility
Steellogy produces replacement knives for tobacco cutters and cigarette makers from Hauni / Körber (KT-series cutters, Protos makers), G.D (the 121 maker) and Molins (MK-series makers). One maker family spans multiple knife variants and revisions, and OEMs do not publish a variant-to-knife mapping — so every knife is manufactured to the buyer-approved drawing; the machine name alone does not identify the part. For a deep dive on tobacco knife materials and OEM fit, see our guide on industrial knives for tobacco processing: materials, types, and OEM compatibility.
Steel Grades for Tobacco Knives
Tobacco cutting knives are commonly offered in tungsten carbide, with M2 HSS and D2 as alternatives; carbide-tipped versions are the usual choice for high-volume lines running 24/7. The exact OEM steel grade and hardness of KT-series drum and bottom knives are proprietary and not publicly published — so we determine grade and hardness from your drawing and a worn sample, and state both on the order confirmation. Similar grade selection criteria apply to industrial knives for paper cutting.
