Category 01 · Clipper blades & combs
Groomers and boarding kennels send us the clipper make and model. So do plenty of owners who clip their own dogs at home. We tell all of them whether the size 10 blade fits the block before taking the order seriously, and we sell the ceramic guide comb set that snaps onto it.
Dog clipper blade replacement is the single most common reason people write to Tavlixos, and snap-on clipper blade fitting is the detail that goes wrong most often — a blade that looks identical in a photograph will not always seat on a block from a different maker. We stock the size 10 blade with a listed price basis, and we check fit against your model rather than assuming a snap-on standard covers every clipper on the market.
Price basis: the size 10 blade is priced per blade from $28. The comb set is priced per five-piece set from $46. Both are estimated bases confirmed once we have checked your clipper model — never a binding quote from this page.
This is the setting the blades and combs are built for: a working salon table, a clipper running most of the day, and a dog that needs the same clean pass over and over without the blade dragging. A dull or ill-fitted blade shows up first as heat against the skin, not as a visible nick, which is why we ask for the clipper model rather than a photo of the old blade.
We do not carry every blade size on the market right now — size 10 carries a listed basis today. Sizes 7F, 15, 30 and 40 are real requests we take and price after a fit and stock check, covered in the table below.
Snap-on blocks are close to standard across cordless and corded clippers, but battery-driven motors run at different torque and heat curves, and a blade rated for a light home clipper can drag on a heavier professional motor. Tell us the clipper model, not just the blade size, and we will confirm both.
| Blade size | Coat length left | Typical use | Stock status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7F | 3.2mm | Finish and face work on show coats | Fit and price checked per inquiry |
| 10 | 1.5mm | Standard body clip, medium coat length | Listed basis from $28 |
| 15 | 1.2mm | Short body clip and sanitary trims | Fit and price checked per inquiry |
| 30 | 0.5mm | Surgical and pad clearing | Fit and price checked per inquiry |
| 40 | 0.25mm | Fine surgical prep | Fit and price checked per inquiry |
This is a stainless snap-on blade cut to size 10, built to fit standard European snap-on clipper blocks. It leaves roughly 1.5mm of coat, the length most salons run for a body clip on a medium-coated breed. The edge is ground for a clean pass rather than a scissor finish, and it is sold per blade — buy as many as your rotation needs, since a blade held in reserve does not slow anyone down.
We will not sell you a size 10 blade against a clipper block we cannot confirm. Snap-on fitting is not universal; some cordless bodies use a narrower tab spacing that a standard size 10 will rock on rather than seat into. Send the clipper brand and model with your inquiry, not just the phrase "size 10," and we will tell you plainly if it will not seat before we take payment for anything.

Three things decide whether this blade fits: the snap-on tab spacing on your clipper block, the drive-hole pattern on the underside of the blade, and whether your motor runs the block at a speed the blade was ground for. A blade that looks correct in a catalogue photograph can still rock on a block it was never designed for, and a rocking blade cuts unevenly and heats up fast against the skin.
We do not guess. If your clipper model is not one we have fitted before, we ask you to hold off ordering until we confirm it, even if that costs us the sale that day.
Five ceramic guide combs, cut from 3mm up to 25mm, all built to snap onto a size 10 blade. Ceramic runs cooler than plastic under a long clipping session and resists the hairline cracking that plastic guide combs pick up after a season of dropping onto a tile floor. The set is sold whole; we have not found a clean way to break it into single lengths without leaving both sides with an odd assortment, so it is priced and shipped as five pieces.
If your job only ever needs the 10mm and 15mm guides, the set still gets you there — the other three sit in a drawer for the next dog that needs a shorter or longer pass. Ceramic guide comb set demand tracks blade demand closely, so most inquiries for this set arrive alongside a size 10 blade order.

Clipper blade size 10 fitting problems fall into a short list of repeat causes. We would rather you read this than send a return.
Most European snap-on blocks share a common tab spacing, but two or three widely sold cordless lines run a narrower tab that a generic size 10 will sit loosely on. If your clipper is under three years old and came with its own branded blade set, mention that in your inquiry — it is the single strongest signal we use.
A blade ground for a lighter home clipper can run hot on a heavier salon motor, even when the snap-on fitting is correct. If you run clippers for six or more dogs a day, tell us; we will check the blade grind against that duty cycle rather than against fit alone.
Snap-on clipper blade fitting also depends on how the block has worn. A block that has taken a hard drop can flex just enough that a blade seats but rattles under load. We cannot diagnose that from a photograph, which is one more reason the fit check happens by message, not by guesswork on this page.
What this category will and will not cover.
No. We stock replacement blades and guide combs, not a sharpening service. Once a blade is dull enough to drag, replacement is almost always cheaper than a professional regrind by the time shipping both ways is counted.
No. Tavlixos stocks the parts that wear out on a clipper, not the clipper itself. If your clipper body has failed rather than the blade, we can tell you that plainly once you describe the fault, but we will not sell you a machine.
Send us the clipper brand and model instead, and a description of the coat length you are currently leaving. We can usually work backward to the right blade size faster than a size stamped on worn metal can be read anyway.
Tell us the model or the job and we'll find the part. We reply with a firm price and fit confirmation, not an automated quote.
