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.

Yeah I think it would. But I would recommend getting a smiths tri hone sharpener to go along with it. It really gets that edge razor sharp. The knife is also very easy to sharpen because of the scandi grind.

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!

It would not be able to because it does not open. The item to be cut needs to be flat enough to go through the cutting part. It is sharp enough, but won't work on anything round like pipe.

I don't know. I'm under the impression that serrated knives in general cannot be sharpened.

What is it you want to do? Almost any of these knives can make a 1/8th inch cut. Are you carving figrures, reliefs, or woodcuts?? I am msainly a woodcut artist. These tools are fine for all those purposes. Learn to keep them sharp. If you have more questions, email me at nicholascrome@yahoo.com. Or phone 812 339 2245.

I certainly haven't tried it, but I see no reason why it could not be so. It is only two inches thick,so a sharp utility knife should do the job. Use a heavy straight edge, like a piece of lumber, to guide the cut. Happy sailing!

I don't see why not. I have used it on car tires and basketballs with no problem.

I haven't tried, personally, but I'm sure it would depend on how tough your metal is. What are you wanting to cut?

not really sure how to answer this one... I'm guess that the serrated part of the blade would cut branches, but you may be there a while. you might want to invest in a folding tree saw if you need to cut branches down

NOT SO MUCH. The blades cut by having little bits of metal on the sides of the wheel. This produces a rough cut. It was a big disappointment to me because I wanted it to make fine cuts. It can be used with straight edge against the built-in foot around the blade, so you can make very straight cuts, but not very smooth.

I have not used this knife to cut thru a graham cracker crust. However I think it would do fine. I have used it to cut brownies and other foods like this.

My husband says he's used them for cutting metal of up to 1 inch in thickness with no trouble. Just be aware that the thicker and wider the material, the more wheels you may have to go through to complete your cut. He said he's gone through 1" thick, 3" wide flat stock with one wheel. Hope this helps. :)

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.

It wouldn't surprise me if it could do it, but I want my peeler to last more than few months, and I'd be worried about cutting myself by using a peeler to do that. I just use a chefs knife to do squashes.

I am sorry for my late response. I have an Oster with a fixed blade, so that is all I can answer questions about with confidence. Sorry!

It is a harder type of plastic..If I was going to cut it, I was use a hot knife and a straight edge. And, just keep working it.So, yes I think it could be cut, but not necessarily without effort..

You said it yourself: extreme effort. I've had mixed success cutting regular mats with a Stanley knife. This is polycarbonate, much tougher. I once tried cutting a 12" star out of a polycarbonate sheet of about the same thickness. It took several hours and dulled a few blades.
