Buy overlocker cutting blades online, from Bambers. We supply overlocker knives for various makes and models. Primarily, we supply affordable overlocker machine knife blades for the following makes.

You Say Tomato…

A little bit of Housekeeping. Some use the term Overlocker. Others say Serger. They are two names for the same thing. And while we’re talking… Remember that all domestic Overlockers have two knives. An upper knife and a lower knife. 

The lower knife is fixed, and does not move. On the other hand, the upper Knife moves up and down. Together they create a ‘scissor action’ to cut the fabric being fed through your Overlocker. 

High-Quality Overlock Knife Replacement

Checking the knives on your Overlocker should become a regular habit. And the more you use your Overlocker, the more often you should check it.  

At Bambers we only supply genuine high-quality Overlocker replacement knives. All sourced direct from the manufacturer’s of each brand. 

Precision Cutting

An Overlocker trimming blade in good condition ensures precision sewing. Using worn or damaged blades will only tear at the fabric, leaving a rough edge. As a consequence, the stitch quality will be diminished leaving a poor finish. 

Durable Serger Knife for Fabric Cutting

A Serger is just another name for an Overlocker. And a durable serger knife for fabric cutting is essential whatever name you use. This above all else is the reason you should always buy branded knives. 

The cheap unbranded copies are vastly inferior and won’t last half as long. 

Sharp Overlocker Cutter for Professional Seam Finishing

It goes without saying. A sharp overlocker cutter for professional seam finishing is essential. Cutting through pins, used to tack your work, will leave its mark. The same can be said for sequinned fabrics. And in the end, general wear and tear will inevitably blunt your cutters. 

Best Overlocker Knife for Serger Machines

As previously mentioned, the best Overlocker knife for serger machines are those produced by the individual manufacturers. Therefore, for example, if you own a Bernina Overlocker, you should only buy knives supplied by Bernina. 

Where to Buy Overlocker Knives

By now you should be in no doubt where to buy Overlocker knives. Buy them from Bambers, of course. We only supply knives, blades or cutters (call them what you will) supplied to us by Bernina, Brother and Janome etc. in other words. The genuine articles. 

Overlocker Knife Sharpening. 

Almost all overlocker knives are hardened or have been tempered. This helps to keep them sharper for longer. Once a knife is damaged and no longer creates a sharp cut, it should be replaced. If you try to sharpen the knife with a file, or grindstone etc. you will remove the hardened edge. In addition, the cutting edge on most upper knives is cut to an angle. If you file or grind this edge, chances are you will distort the angle of the cut. This in turn will impair the cut.
