Cutting Tool. Counter Knife. 21-1/2 X 2-1/2 X 3/8 Counter Knife (66" Fulghum) _ KSK-45

A counterknife is a stationary blade that is mounted opposite a moving blade, such as a rotary blade or a reciprocating blade, and is used to provide support and guide the material being cut.

In industrial applications, counterknives are used in combination with cutting blades to achieve a precise and consistent cut. The counterknife ensures that the material being cut is properly supported and held in place, while the cutting blade makes the actual cut.

Over time, counterknives can become dull or damaged, which can lead to inconsistent cutting results and increased wear and tear on cutting blades. Regular inspection and replacement of counterknives is therefore essential to maintain optimal cutting performance and minimize downtime.
