Can I replace the comb with an actual blade? i mean, of course I can, but would it be practical, or should I just save up for an actual balisong?

This is a good practice balisong, period. It wont be worth the money and effort to modify it, unless you're bored. Some good once are from Batangas, Philippines (but I doubt if they're in the internet). If you know somebody from there, get it from the source and mail it. Its cheaper also.

Get one with a blade. This is not balanced enough to put a real blade on it. It may also be a bit cost prohibitive.

It might work fine, but personally, I would save up for a real balisong. From doing a search, it looks like Amazon in there ignorance (or political leanings) has deemed real balisongs as too danagerous, so you unfortuanately need to shop for them elsewhere.

The actual comb part is as long as tour hand. Then add the handle to that. I love it...

Mindy, Once you remove the deep cut housing from the machine it's very easy to replace the blade. You need to first take the housing out and then the blade screws in and out. You unscrew the housing to get the old blade out. Then out the new blade in and your back to crafting :)

I actually contacted the company that sells the cutter for replacement pads. They sent me an invoice through paypal and shipped them to me. They were pretty reasonably priced. I wish they would sell me a replacement blade, but they won't ship blades.

I've never done it, but to be totally honest with you, I'd have it done by a professional. The blade is far too sharp to make a mistake and you could seriously injure yourself.

Well, to be honest I bought this one a few months ego and I have not see the need yet!But see this response:No - see here: http://answers.remingtonproducts.com/answers/1205-en_us/category/PartsAndAccessories|ForMen|Groomers/men-s-groomer-parts-parts-and-accessories-remington-hair-care-shave-and-grooming-products-questions-answers/questions.htm?page=4 If you haven't bought this razor and replacing them is a priority, you'll want to reconsider. If you own this razor, a quick sharpening and re-lubrication of the blades will help.

Yes the blade can be easily replaced. Go to Fiskars website to order a replacement blade.

It cannot be replaced. If you really want to, you have to disassemble the hilt and it's really hard. You better contact the maker or buy a new one.

I just did a couple of googles, and can't find blades for either this or the Blackwing. Fortunately, the blades last forever and two come with the sharpener. Will continue to search, and post if I find any! Good question! EDIT: Amazon has them (of course!) search replacement blades KUM. There are several pack sizes and several proices.

I would say no. The description says, Coarse Flat Blade, and the replacement blades typically run around $8-$10. So $13 sounds about right for a blade and handle.

Not sure Denise, but thinking the guides are meant to fit over blades of standard size. If you can blend well, hair nirvana will be reached! That said, can I interject that I LUV, LUV, LUV the close cropped shearing the 76 delivers time and again?? I bought the blade cleaning solution, and some blade lubricant (oil), and the thing just hums and buzzes me into a "recently got a hair cut" look. Of course, I'm bagging the loot I'd have spent at a clip joint. The stray wild hairs, and porcupine hairs, are sliced down, and I'm suddenly well-groomed. Just keeping the back and sides in check once a week is about all it takes. Splurge on a 76, it's cheaper in the long run than some crappy clippers, and nothing cuts as evenly.

Yah, it is sold as a universal type replacement blade, with mounting holes that accommodate most brands. Make sure you get the right length.

Yes, and about every other tip you'd want. :) You may of seen write ups about the hot knife getting ruined, but it's just an exacto blade and quite replaceable.

The blade comes with it. If you need to replace it look for blades for that model number.

For future readers, you can YouTube this and easily and quickly remove the blade with a screwdriver. I just did it. And I'm an old chick. : )

I haven't replaced them. Most of the time I shave with a blade, however I use the electric when I'm feeling really lazy....And, as I've had this for a while I find that its just a so-so razor. Nothing works like a real blade. Good luck!

Yes you can. I never have, but I know Amazon sells a sharpener for it. I think it's cheaper just to replace the blade then buy a sharpener though. So unless you plan on using it a whole lot.......
