What is the difference between the "Arctic" and the "AgIon" blades?

Arctic products don't have the antimicrobial coating of the Agion blades, though they are built of tough metal for longevity. Read more: http://www.ehow.com/list_6832836_type-blades-oster-hair-clippers.html#ixzz2nqVbFS9e

I honesty cannot say. I had both. One burned out so I bought the other. As long as we had it we did not dull the blade out. Sorry wish I could be of more help. I can say they are both equal in quality & the motor is as powerful in both. Thanks

As for the size difference I don't know . But I must say that I am somewhat disappointed in the durability of these blades. after making 20 or so 10 thousands removal passes on the edge of plywood I can feel very distinct ridges where the glue lines were on my new blades. I wish I could find blades that had carbide edges. The time it takes me to set a new set of blades perfectly in the machine is valuable. I would pay +/- $80.00 for a set of carbide blades.

The SOG axe ' blade is much smaller, and offers less room for cuts. I would say that the sheath is much sturdier with the United Cutlery axe.

If I recall correctly they are both wires - I use the big blades and only used the small ones that came with my original package. It's simply a size difference and the big blade is faster.

The arctic is more like the brushed nickel, i have an RO tap that is brushed nickel next to this faucet, not a noticeable difference.

The A blades is hook handle as used by toyota's and Suzuki while OE uses a metal pin such as infinity's and europeas cars. Take care, I realized it when I purchased the incorrect unit.

I am not familiar with your model #. My experience with Oster is that they haven't changed the specs on the jars or blades....Everything is inter-changeable....The style of the blade is the only difference....ice cutting etc.....Oster is still in business. Why don't you ask at their customer service web-site.

I've used both and had basically the same experience with both. Both work well and cut just fine. Handles on the both seem to be the same .The reason I bought this one vs. the other (a buddy who I backpack with carries the Sven) was this can take any blade.

I think the best way to describe it is Arctic stainless is lighter and brighter than stainless (which is a darker gray). We have Samsung and LG Stainless steel appliances and we think the Arctic stainless matches much better.

For me it's all about the sharpness of the blade. I think Derby and Astra blades are very close in performance. Buy the derby if you like the container.

it has a one year warranty and the auger is plastic however it takes a beating. I found the problem with this item after many hours of use the support handle shown mid way on the pole, broke off. I purchased a ice chipper handle that is used to attach to ice chippers and it fits nicely to the pole and I did not lose any time. With the snow we received in CT this item worked great and I am glad I purchased it before the snow dropped. It worked great on wood decks and did not hurt the finish.

two different types of steel for the blades. the one you are looking at has aus 8a. the other one is san mai 3. the san mai 3 is supposedly a better steel. I have owned one of each. I loved the aus 8a, but wanted to try the san mai 3. That being said, I haven't had the san mai 3 long enough to tell you that it truly is better, but for the slight price difference I would recommend you go with the san mai 3. Did quite a bit of reading on it, and it appears to be the better blade. (I'm not sorry I upgraded so far)

The augers on my snow thrower are solid disks like the top photo. The other photo is wrong. -mike

This machine has a fixed spinning blade that shaves the ice. It does NOT crush ice at all. It produces a fine snow. I hope this helps you.

The actual blades are plastic, though it is mounted on a metal structure .. the outer housing is Plastic .. I been using it in Toronto/Canada and we got fairly heavy snow than the last few years, it works well .. but once you hit over 1 foot of snow .. you need to push it to eat through the snow sort of speak .. but all in all it is okay ..

We bought a couple of Cold Steel products as well, and they are a better product. The Blades USA hasn't held it's shape as well and is lighter.
