Although the details of training programs vary, many tool and die makers begin an apprenticeship with an employer, possibly including a mix of classroom training and hands-on experience. Some prior qualifications in basic mathematics, science, engineering science or design and technology can be valuable. Many tool and die makers attend a 4- to 5-year apprenticeship program to achieve the status of a journeyman tool and die maker. Today's employment relationships often differ in name and detail from the traditional arrangement of an apprenticeship, and the terms "apprentice" and "journeyman" are not always used, but the idea of a period of years of on-the-job training leading to mastery of the field still applies.

The green arrows indicate where common knives would exist.
In the context above, the overlapping cut lines for diemaking are semantically known as knives. The term double line may be used in these cases, but it isn't technically correct. It is a more generic instance of any two lines, whereas double knives refer to overlapping cut lines that become one knife in the dieboard.
A tool exists within diemaking called Designer's Fix-it that can be accessed via Manufacturing > Designer's Fix-it. It can be used to remove double lines. Any double lines.

It is essential to develop national and international legal frameworks through which to hold brands responsible when people are hurt or die making the cheap clothes they profit from.
