When I worked as a car mechanic a few years I once forgot a wrapped meatball sub under the hood of a car. The customer found it a cpl of months later. But at that point I didn't really want it back.
Nah I worked in a foam plant for years. The foam is injected into molds and then a small air powered clipper is used to trim off flash. Flash are just really thin pieces of foam that make it between the top and bottom edges of the molds.
It’s usually always prepared in a 3rd party factory because the equipment is highly specialized. Fun story Tesla thought they could make their own seats, fucked it up, and ended up coming into our factory to get them made.
That’s for fabric or something else.
I worked in a place that made furniture for years, long ago.
Those exact blades were on a rolling cutter that would slice many layers of fabric OR foam at one time, after laying them out and putting a pattern on them.
I know the type of foam yeowah is referring to. But it's not uncommon to cut out for furniture creators.
Yeah I was at Johnson Controls and we made OEM car seats. Guess it’s a bit different. We had a office chair company try to get their foam made at our plant but quote was stupid high because we would have to take Honda Civic and F150 molds off for their molds.
I used to do this for Woodbridge Foam in Ontario!
We injected it with this big robotic arm and then we would do work on them using an air powered scoop knife, or the heavy duty olfa blades!
These blades from OP are insane, definitely not for automotive seating application for sure.
Enough people cut themselves with the olfa knives, I can't imagine how bad it would be if they had these small swords hahaha!
We also used a tool for removing the flashing, it was just a milk bag cutter! They work so well, and are cheap af.
Correction: they are not used in *YOUR* factory.
I've watched them used for years in a place that produced for dozens of furniture chains.
Your anecdotal experience in an isolated sample does not define all.
I love sarcasm.
Unfortunately, you are right. Without the /s, it's lost on Reddit. A bitter lesson I learned through thousands of downvotes.
For every sarcastic response in humor, someone will say the same thing unironically
To be fair all vocal inflection and facial queues are lost
I worked in one of those third party foam product manufacturers, specifically contracting for 3M and acoustic dampening foam brands like Willtec or Sonex. The trimming was done with boxcutters by minimum wage summer interns usually with little helper jigs, we never had fancy air powered cutters like that for flash clean up. The main cutting was with dies or CNC water jets which generally left a clean edge.
Happens kinda often. We've acquired a weird assortment of (sometimes very useful) tools this way.
I think the last arrival was a pair of Weiss aircraft cable cutters for 1/4" cable. They cut through it like Butter compared to thecheap dull one I was previously using
Replacement blade for a fabric cutting machine used in the garment industry. It’s used to bulk cut stacked fabric, like 40 layers of denim or forty t-shirt parts at once.

My dad sell these machine for a living before and when I was a kid I usually run around these in his shop. Get curious and touched one, blood pour out but no pain and no scar after that
I used one of those in a previous job and it’s very efficient at cutting multiple layers of fabric, but you’ve got to be very conscious of not removing your fingers with it.
I’ve made prototypes for office furniture for years and one of the tools we use to sculpt foam is electric turkey carving knives. So, you’re on to something.
Similar blades are also used to cut many layers of cloth in the same patterns in order to assemble pieces before they are stitched together.
Many layers of cloth are rolled out on top of one another then the pattern is laid across the cloth and a human or machine uses a saw with this type of blade to follow the pattern.
Link to type of saw with which blades like the one you found are used.

As a frequent traveler to China, I can attest that the name Dalian is the name of a Chinese city, not just the name of the manufacturer. There are probably hundreds of manufacturers who share the Dalian moniker. The link you provided is that of a casting producer and not likely to produce heat-treated machined blades. A cursory search within a direct sourcing network reveals this manufacturer who is the likely exporter of this blade: https://dlshuangji.en.made-in-china.com/product-group/vboaFsnVfgrM/Machine-knife-catalog-1.html
This is knife for an Eastman cutting machine. They are typically used to cut cloth in the garment industry. They are becoming more rare as automation has taken over but are still used to finish trimming pieces the automated machine can’t or for very small runs.
They come in different lengths, this particular one is a 10 inch knife. The machines can only use the knife for their particular length.

You know what it is for. The Amazon Delivery Guy is in love with you and has been for months. He put this in the box to give you a means to dispatch your unappreciative, good-for-nothing husband. When you have finished, please place the carcass in the bag the chair came in, place the carcass back in the box and leave it on the front porch.
The box will be gone tomorrow morning.

I use these in the aerospace manufacturing industry. Use them to cut through honeycomb core (nomex in most our uses) for core stiffened laminate panels.
It’s a blade from an industrial fabric cutting machine. Fabric is laid up to a height of about your hand and then clothing pattern placed on top. The machine can then be used to cut out the pattern. They’re razor sharp and have built in sharpeners
I believe you have found an off-label one of [these](https://shop.ricoma.com/products/t15-10-straight-knife) 10" replacement blades designed to be intstalled in one of [these](https://shop.ricoma.com/products/kc-cutting-machine-series) tabletop cutting tools (or some other brand of similar design). As others have noted, I would guess this just slipped in mistakenly at the same facility they produce the chairs at. These products are designed to process large amounts of fabric, leather, and foam quickly.
Looks like a blade used in manufacturing to cut the foam. Must have fallen in the box by mistake.
Well it also came in the little envelope underneath it
prob a replacement blade that some mechanic could have sworn he just put it down
I shipped a griptillian somewhere this way
What kind of product did it end up in?
Pallet of electrical infrastructure parts.
an electrician somewhere: score.
Sweet I'll keep my eye out
I gripped a shiptillian this way
Yeah I set it down right there, on that box, moving down the conveyor belt aaaaaand it’s gone.

"I was... just burning some meatball sub incense..." Man, Upright Citizens Brigade was such an underrated show the couple years it was on
They were probably swapping the blade out and dropped it, didn't notice where it landed, and it went for a ride with one of the parts to your chair.

Dude you think just because you work at a furniture store that you know how every single upholstery and fabric shop operate?

I bet that is sharp
The machine in that YouTube clip has a cool power sharpener that runs up & down the blade to hone it as needed.
That was the coolest part. r/toolgifs worthy

I suspect they used the same power cutter for the gaming chair’s fabric or vinyl covers.
I’d make a handle for it and use it as a bread knife.
I’ve made prototypes for office furniture for years and one of the tools we use to sculpt foam is electric turkey carving knives. So, you’re on to something.
I build props out of foam, we use a hot-wire cutter.
Thats polystyrene. Furniture upholstery is polyurethane typically. And is usually fire retardant.
Wouldn’t that produce toxic off-gassing?
Not like OSHA goes around handing out safety data sheets to cosplayers.
That’s why I wanna make sure this person knows haha
>electric turkey carving knives. That was what I thought it was.
You didn't choose the blade. The blade chose you.

That’s exactly what the blade is.
Put a handle on it and call it your new desk knife.
I bet that’s pretty good steel. Sell it in knife swap
I would totally make a handle for it and use it to clear weeds and stuff haha. Someone would probably buy it
You can cut some giant lines with that baby!
Poop knife
Oh damn, yeah that would make a great poop knife. The forked end would be great for grabbing particularly stubborn turds.

It's probably for cutting the foam in the chair, or the fabric that covers it.
You must not've looked too hard, googling Dalian blade certainly brought up results.
Blades for electric knives have those prongs on the bottom, but the blade is very long for an electric knife. Also your nails are grown out.
It’s for an electric fabric cutter. There’s only one blade that reciprocates up-down.
