WahlProfessional Animal 5-in-1 Adjustable Blade Arco, Bravura, Chromado, Creativa, Figura, and Motion Pet, Dog, and Horse Clippers - Coarse (2179-401)

These are great, so much better than a generic one. Unfortunately they are extremely expensive for what they are in my opinion. That being said one of these last longer than 3 generic, and you get a much better overall cut. I would actually recommend these simply because there is not a legitimate alternative.

I wish I had realized years ago that there was a blade for “coarse” hair! This makes my grooming so much easier!

Excellent blade! This really helped me groom my spaniel efficiently and cut through his thick coat. It's important to use a gentle hand and take your time moving through the coat in stages so you do not cut too closely. Overall, this coarse blade was just what I needed!

Works as well as the original blade and it's nice to have an extra to change out when the other blade gets hot.

I have tried several of the 5-in-1 blades, including fine and black, etc., but have found this 'course' blade to be perfect for how we groom our 75 lb standard poodle (with a very dense, tight curly coat). The blade is 'short enough' without scalping for trimming face and feet, and the other blade lengths work for his neck, head, belly, torso, rear, ears, etc.IMO, this blade would also do well for large doodles ... for that informal 'natural' look as opposed to a harsh outline/scalping trip. It is less intimidating and does not nick the dog easily .... so where coat maintenance and keeping feet & eyes clean is the goal, for the novice or 'casual' poodle owner ... this is great! Just my opinion.If you keep this blade cleaned and oiled, during trimming and after, it lasts almost a year (twice a month grooming and trimming -- so one blade and the oil cost is a whole lot less cost than going to a groomer! ). Note: we do NOT do a blow-out or fancy comb-out ... our guy is trimmed to various lengths and the curls do what they may ... we prefer that to the 'finger-in-the-socket' poofy stuff, for ease of care and great cost savings.

Cuts great. Quality blade.

Works better on my horse than the fine one.

Very good quality and perfect fit. Usually lasts 2 years.
