Updated Description
A Blended, Full-Body Finish at 1/4 Inch
Reach for the Geib Buttercut #5F Clipper Blade when a groom calls for a smooth, blended finish rather than an ultra-close cut. This blade leaves the coat approximately 1/4 inch, or 6.4 mm, long, making it well suited for full-body grooming and finishing work across a range of breeds.
The blade is crafted from premium high-carbon German stainless steel for reliable sharpness and everyday durability. Its precision cutting edges move cleanly through properly prepared coats, reducing the need for repeated passes.
The detachable A5-style design also makes it easy to switch between blade sizes as grooming needs change. Explore the Geib Buttercut #5F Wide Clipper Blade for a broader cutting path, or browse the complete collection of Geib Buttercut clipper blades available from Waggz.
