Abstract: The invention pertains to safe handling of web slitting knife holders. The device provides an active circular blade guard for covering the sharp edge of a slitting blade. Knife holders are used to slit webs of material into thinner webs, for example cutting a paper web into multiple ribbons. The guard extends to cover the circular blade edge while the slitter is not extended for slitting.
