Knife holders for the Leica SM2500 heavy-duty sledge microtome
A large variety of knife holders and knives is available to ensure the ultimate cutting result. For different embedding materials or specimen properties, dedicated knives are required.

The higher the cutting forces, the more knife holder stability is needed to ensure a reproducible thin section.

Safety gloves
Safety precaution: Please always wear safety gloves as microtome knives have very sharp edges.
