  • ✓
    Greater Material Versatility
    Stronger performance across plastics and composites — handles substrates Keencut cannot.
  • ✓
    Higher Throughput Potential
    Designed for faster production environments with less downtime between substrate changes.
  • ✓
    More Advanced Workflow
    Better for shops switching materials constantly — the Sword adapts without reconfiguration.
Ideal for shops needing multi-material capability beyond what Keencut offers.

Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of modern sign manufacturing, display production, and industrial fabrication, the Sword Series effortlessly handles materials ranging from foam board and Forex to Plexiglass and Dibond, delivering clean, precise cuts every time.

The series comprises three distinct models to match every production need. The Sword is a professional-grade manual vertical panel cutter with dual interchangeable blades and four height options, ideal for foam board, polyurethane foam, Forex, cardboard, leather, and plastic sheets.
