I've only used the silver color blades and have been very satisfied with the service from these blades.

I don't really know. What I do know is that the Oster blades I received were dull, dull, dull! Not worth the money.

The way I read it, the blades are two colors (walnut one side, medium oak the other side) so you can choose the color you want when you install it.

Pretty much aside from color and the blade. The 5 Star Detailers come with the t-wide blade and Sterling Definitions come with the 5 Star std blade. Both have rotary motors

I can't tell that blades last longer if run slower. From my perspective the faster you run them the smoother the cut on aluminum.

My only gripe so far is that the pocket clip is silver. I would prefer black also. Silver blades get silver clip while black blades get black clips.

The 340 is bimetal and titanium coated. I have used the 340 and found little to no wear after a couple of hours of non-continuous use. It is way better than regular steel blades.

It takes any double blade far as I know with the red insert. The double sided blades you break in half, unless already made that way. The black insert uses a longer blade like a hair shaper blade(not sure who all makes the longer blades-I know Personna)

The blades that work best for me are the Astras, Crystals, Gillette blue and the 7 O'clock ( in that order )

As far as I can tell there is no metal in the blades. It appears that way in the photos because of the way the light is shining on them. I took mine out and looked at them and the blades are entirely the black ceramic color. Hope this helps : )

If you can find a cutter where you never need to replace a blade, please let me know! I've never seen such a thing; however, in my experience, titanium blades last much longer than steel blades. I do love my cutter, but don't buy it for the light feature. I am disappointed in Fiskars for that. Buy it for the size and cutting. Awesome.

AG are steel blades. FC are the ceramic blade. Same blade but, made of different material.

I used the 8081(burgundy color) and the reason that I switched to the 8290(new model) was on the 8081 the piece of plastic that holds the blades in place broke off. Maybe the reason behind that is that I dropped them a few times. Anyhow, I really like the newer model. They feel lighter on my hand so that's a plus.

I bought this blade for my brother-in-law. I know it was black and yellow, but I don't remember if it look exactly like the picture. The blade worked very well for me.

Sorry wasn't sure which blades you talking about, I've ordered several different types in the last couple months! But as for the osters blades no!!!

I'd stay with Oster brand blades. The blades are numbered and cut to different lengths. Decide which length you want to cut to and get the corresponding blade.

Dear customer,Silver is color, the blade is made of 440 stainless steel as stated, thanks.

I noticed that my silver colored camera seemed to be thinly coated with clear lacquer that easily got nicked. The black one is most likely made of hard and durable plastic, hence the difference I price.
