Professional Opinion
A dry cutting specialist in 440C with a convex edge, offered in 5.5, 6.0 and 7.0 inch lengths. Dry blades work harder per stroke, so the three sizes let you match the tool to detail finishing or longer dry sections.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
