The Shernbao A5 Detachable Blade 40 is a professional-grade, surgical-length blade designed for extreme precision. Utilizing a combination of stainless steel and ceramic technology, it is engineered to run cooler and stay sharp longer than traditional all-steel blades.
Core Specifications
-
Size: 40
-
Cutting Length: 0.25 mm (1/100″)
-
Blade Width: Approximately 45 mm
-
Material (Lower/Comb): 440C Stainless Steel (for high hardness and rust resistance)
-
Material (Upper/Cutter): Titanium-Coated Ceramic (reduces friction and heat)
-
System: A5 Detachable (Snap-on)
Key Features & Technology
-
Stay-Cool Technology: The ceramic upper blade has a significantly lower heat transfer coefficient than steel. This allows you to clip for longer periods without the blade becoming uncomfortably hot for the animal’s skin.
-
Advanced Manufacturing: These blades use powder metallurgy and ceramic sintering, which results in a denser, smoother cutting surface compared to standard stamped blades.
-
Durability: The titanium coating on the ceramic cutter increases its structural strength, while the 440C stainless steel base ensures the teeth do not dull quickly when hitting high-resistance hair.
-
Reduced Noise: Ceramic blades typically operate with a slightly lower “hum” than steel-on-steel configurations, which can help keep nervous pets calm.
Compatibility
This blade is a standard A5-style detachable blade, meaning it is compatible with most professional clippers on the market, including:
-
Andis: AG, AGC, AGR, MBG, Pulse ZR II
-
Oster: A5, A6, Golden A5, Turbo A5
-
Wahl: KM2, KM5, KM10, KM Cordless
-
Heiniger / Aesculap: All A5-compatible models
-
Shernbao: Specifically designed for the Shernbao A5 series (like the PGC-660/670)
Recommended Usage
-
Veterinary Prep: Ideal for surgical prep where the skin needs to be as clean and bare as possible.
-
Sanitary Work: Used for very close work around sensitive areas.
-
Show Grooming: Often used for “clearing” the pads of the feet or inside the ears.
-
Caution: Because this blade cuts to 0.25 mm, it leaves almost no hair. Use with a light touch to avoid “clipper burn” or skin irritation, especially on breeds with sensitive skin.
Pro Tip: While ceramic stays sharp longer, it is more brittle than steel. Avoid dropping the blade on hard floors, as the ceramic teeth can chip or shatter upon impact.
