English term or phrase: razor blade
It is a printing machine, and it has different type of knives (razor blade, shearknife, crush knife). Is there a Spanish version or do I use something like "cuchilla tipo hoja de afeitar"? (which I do not like). The razor blade is the knife which appears most in the manual, could I leave it as "cuchilla" directly and specify the type of knife for the other 2 options? I need an expert in printing machines, please!
Thank you for your help

Explanation:
Y además en Venezuela se le dice "hojilla de afeitar".
Así que también dependerá del país de destino.
Creo que hoja de afeitar sería el término más entendible.
