| The Metalform Knifecare System is a combined package of customised knife-sharpening equipment and a comprehensive training programme. The knife care System alleviates problems caused by working with blunt knives in the meat industry, reduces knife replacement costs, and improves product yield and worker productivity. In general, a sharp knife requires 30% less force to cut than an average knife. This enables a task to be performed 30% faster, and requires 30% less grip force. A room with consistently sharp knives produced up to 3 % greater yield than the same room with normal levels of sharpness. A correctly implemented knife sharpening programme has a positive return, not only for the knife hands, but for all of the industry. There are major economic benefits for companies, who gain increased yield, higher staff retention, higher productivity and a reduction in injuries
