Why does it say 7FC and then AG on the back of the blade? When I go to the pet store to buy the blade it only says 7FC ceramic edge. Same blades?

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

The answer to your question is a little more complicated than you would think. When an item is fulfilled by Amazon they are pulling from a stock they have on hand. If it is fulfilled by a different company selling on Amazon, then they are pulling from their inventory on hand. If there is a product change it depends on what version Amazon or those other companies have on hand. I reviewed the Spyderco Cats we have in stock and they have 440C steel blades without any jimping. I hope this helps.

Panda town is the company I bought from. They had the one with good plating that wont rust. It comes in a white package with red lettering. The one in the colorful package is rusty junk... if you get that one chuck it in the trash asap....dont use the blade that comes with any of these...its crap.

I don't...I mail it to Spyderco with $5 for return shipping (see their web site)...they will return it to the factory edge for free. I tried having a local "professional" due it and he totally jacked it up. Won't make that mistake again. This is the one problem with serrated edges...much more challenging to sharpen than a straight edge.

I don't know the answer. On the handle, it says "SIMPLY PETS ONLINE". I googled it but really didn't find that clipper, just ads for other items mostly from the UK. The blade is stainless steel & very durable. It really is a quality clipper. Hope that helps.

Gene, I am not sure. As I remember it, when I ordered mine I went to the vendor's site to confirm the correct item to order. They had color-coding based on the length of the blade. Thanks!

the D2 steel is a much harder steel and will hold an edge better, you need to use either ceramic rods or diamond sharpeners on this blade, traditional whet stones, are too soft and will not sharpen them, i have never owned the other type blade so i don't know if the D2 offers a significant advantage to the traditional carbon blade, it does hold an edge very well, there are articles online that discuss the differences and advantages of the various blade steels, all K-bars are top quality knives and i'm sure either knife will serve you well, hope this helps

We primarily use the 7FC blade on the Andis 22360 AGC for our lab. It leaves just a little fur so he is not bare and there are no bald spots. The #10 blade gives a near bald look and the #5 will leave the fur a little longer than the 7fc. The 7fc is a good middle ground for us.

The packaging may have changed. The Blades I am using appear exactly as the picture. They where purchased early in 2014. I would suggest contacting the manufacture http://www.personna.com/ Send them a picture of what you have received. They will be able to identify if it is there product. Sincerely, TG

Mine came with the FFG blade. I believe all the newest models of this knife have been switched from HG to FFG.

The tiny mark on the blade says "Seki -Japan" which indicates the steel maker. I use a diamond plate for sharpening ... the factory edge sucketh so some work was required but the edge is much better now.

I don't know why they show the trainer knife or the d2 description. I have bought three of these knives over the last three years with the drop point and they have all been 154 cm. I like this steel for this knife. It is a lot easier to sharpen than d2 but still has good edge retention. The description on the knives I bought only show 154cm. The blade is the same all the way and is a full tang that is cut out the same as the aluminum handle scales. The only negatives on this knife with me is the sheath, which is probably just my preferences, and handle scales have sharp edges and should have been blended and more curved around the edges for comfort.

Hello KB. Amazon asked me if I could help you. I had a set of these knives and one chipped real bad. I had posted a negative review 12/12 and received this response from the dealer, maybe it will help you. Amazon is always willing to work with you too. Response from Shenzhen: Sorry to hear about your knife breaking. We can replace your knife free of charge. For future reference, we don't recommend carving any big meats, as most times you will have to apply torque and force the cut, and unfortunately this can cause the knife blade to snap. The ceramic knife is for precision slicing mainly for slicing fruit, vegetables and softer meats. We apologize again for your negative experience and we'll gladly replace the knife. Feel free to reach out to us on our toll-free number or through our website Contact form (www.shenzhenknives.com) Regards, Shenzhen Knives 866-983-2228

Ontario has a spotty record on heat treat. Had the same problem with an RD9. The blades I've had that Justin Gingrich did the treat on have never failed or had issues. OKT may be US made but their QC is abysmal. The steel is good but the RC number is meaningless without a good heat treat. The protocols they use can be vastly different and lead to the same Rockwell hardness number and one blade is amazing while the other will chip, bend, or snap.

I think it is 800? If you check, I think the sapphire sold as an add-on is 1,100. Personally, I think the blades look great with the ceramic. Just buy a cheap rubber eraser, the old school "toxic" type, to clean the stone.

Danny,I assume that you have a stone to sharpen it during use. If that doesn't do the trick here is my plan. I'll be facing this problem myself on my next siding/flooring job. I plan on buying a replacement blade for 44.95 and then take the used blade to a sharpening facility. If they can't sharpen the blade once they see it, they might suggest someone else or try sharpening it myself. Again maybe 44.95 is the easiest and might be the cheapest answer. If you plan on doing the sharpening yourself I for sure recommend a replacement blade just in case (for backup). Sorry I can't be more definitive but I hope this helps.Regards,John Livingston Danny,I assume that you have a stone to sharpen it during use. If that doesn't do the trick here is my plan.

I have no idea. Dark bugundy with lighter highlights. I've had my original one for 34 years, the handle and blade are still perfect. I have had the blade reground once during that time. Still razor sharp with a few strokes of a ceramic stone.
