Portuguese term or phrase: contra faca
* Foi feita a regulagem de faca com contra faca. Ok. * Feito testes operacionais - Máquina Ok.

Does anyone have a notion of what is the 'contra faca' is? The proper terminology in English? Sorry in advance, but I cannot accept 'counter-knife' or 'counter-blade' (unless positive proof is given).

This a the description of the service that is being carried out.

Beforehand, we have the 'Description of the problem':

* Faca do corte ( alinhamento com contra, fora). I'm guessing that "contra" is the "contra faca".

Thanks.

counter-knife


Explanation:
Maybe if fits into your context.

With rotary burst cutting, a driven circular knife having a very sharp edge “dives” into a grooved sleeve or directly into the material strip and cuts without a counter-knife.

The burst cutting system solely consists of a razor blade or a circular blade (rotary burst cutting) fixed in a (razor) blade holder
