Art & Science behind XL Premium Gold
- Finest high grade premium 1.25% Carbon Steel is assessed and evaluated by our steel specialists to ensure that it conforms to the Jewel Blade Quality Assured Standard.
- High Speed Performance Presses stamp the blades with the mark of quality ‘XL Premium’.
- Our unique specialised thermodynamic hardening and tempering heat treatment process, transforms the steel's microstructural atom properties, manifesting in a consistent hardened metallurgical structure.
- Utilising the latest grinding technology ensures honed precision cutting edge geometry.
- Surface finishing optimises cutting performance for the user's benefit providing higher productivity yields.
- Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating is applied to the blade's cutting edge through the vacuum process electron beam Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) increasing the thickness and durability of the blades cutting edge thus ensuring extended blade life.
Technical expertise along with innovative high level intelligence testing solutions ensures that the steel characteristics and blade edge geometries are analysed and monitored throughout Jewel’s complex manufacturing processes. This guarantees a consistent molecular structure and enhanced cutting performance which will last longer even when cutting through the toughest of modern day materials.

XL Premium Gold Case Studies / User Experiences
Paul Finch NICF Master Fitter
"The XL Premium Gold Concave blades are ideal for use on Heavy Duty LVT. This is where it becomes more evident that the blades are longer lasting."
David Russell Curriculum Manager at CP Assessments
"The XL Premium Gold blades worked amazingly well on LVT and Resilient Safety Flooring."
Steve Ramsden Master Fitter and President of NICF – National Institute of Carpet & Floorlayers. Trainer at FITA – Flooring Industry Training Association
"The XL Premium Gold Concave blades are superb when cutting 6mm Plywood; they keep their tip and edge really well in comparison to the standard blades. With the XL Premium Gold, you can template a normal sized bathroom with just one blade in comparison to using 4 - 5 standard blades for the same job. This saves me time from a tool downtime perspective and makes blade disposal easier and safer."
“You can immediately feel the difference between the standard blades and the XL Premium Gold.”

XL Premium Gold Q&A
- How is the TiN coating applied to your XL Premium Gold blades?
- The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating is applied by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). Our blades are jigged in a chamber for coating and it is applied through the process of electron beam evaporation under vacuum at a workpiece temperature of below 500°C. This method results in a very smooth coating which does not require any further finishing. The ceramic coating is a bright gold metallic colour in appearance and the thickness is geometry dependant at 1 - 4 microns.
- How does the TiN coating work to extend blade life?
- Titanium Nitride (TiN) reduces the coefficient of friction and therefore decreases the rate of blade edge deterioration. Another characteristic of the coating is that it increases the blades resistance to corrosion as it is chemically very inert.
- Hi I am a floor layer and just wanted to know. On what materials will I most benefit using your XL Premium Gold blades?
-
The XL Premium Gold blades have been designed and developed to provide the user with a longer lasting cutting edge which is ideal for use on materials where you find yourself with either increased breaking or blunting of your existing blades.
- Resilient Flooring & LVT
- 6mm Plywood
- Heavy Duty Safety Vinyl Flooring
- Artificial Turf
XL Premium Gold blades are also recommended for use on some of the materials listed below.
- Ideal for use on materials containing Carborundum/Silicon Carbide.
- Engineered Wood
- Rubber Matting (Gym Flooring)
- Rubber Seals/Tubing
- Plasterboard
- Bitumen Felt Roof Shingles
- Will the cutting sensation be different to a standard non coated blade?
- The cutting sensation you will experience will be entirely dependent on the cutting media, however the first time you use the XL Premium Gold you may get a slightly different feel, as although the TiN coating is very smooth, it does increase the thickness and robustness of the blade's cutting edge. Therefore your initial point of contact may provide you with a different cutting sensation. What you may potentially find is as the coating's properties work to protect the blade cutting edge, that the blade will start to feel keener over its extended life span.
