Please tell me if the numbers on your blades have any significance? 1&amp;2 on one side and 3&amp;4 on the opposite side.

According to a Derby Factory spokesperson, the numbers are there for internal quality control during the manufacturing process.

Yes they should. If one does not then compare it to the others and visually inspect it for any differences. All part numbers on these blades should match. Also try interchanging the blades since small variations just might do the trick.

There are 4 blades , 2 facing upwards , 2 facing outwards. Each blade is 1" long , 1/2" wide at the widest part of these blades.☺

i'm pretty sure - but not 100% positive - that i got two blades. hope my memory is right. in case you are not aware you can buy them at any good hardware store - and they're not too pricey. different teeth per inch for different jobs.

I have both too. I can't be 100%sure, but it looks like you could possibly interchange the blades.

Interesting my wife is right handed and I am left handed. Although my wife allows me limited use of these very nice knives. I went and looked at the handles and they look symmetric to me - I can not see any shapes that would indicate the knives are handed. When I have used them left handed, I did not sense any issues using them.Best regards,Chuck

I am not a 100% sure about the numbers being there for QC but the general consensus seems to be so. About changing the blade sides; That is a beginner OCD myth that I fell to myself when I began DE shaving. See, you really do use all the blade sides anyway and with continued practice, you will know when it's time for a new blade and blade usage varies from person to person and technique to technique. In my blade rotation, the last Astra I used lasted me about 10 days, good to the last drag... whereas, for me, a Voskhod is only good for 3 shaves.

The side pictured has "Ka-bar" and "Olean, NY." stamped on it, but the opposing side has "U.S.A." with "1211" stamped underneath it. I just uploaded some pictures so you can get a better look. They are the ones with a wood grain table in the background. Remember that this 1095 carbon will rust, as it is not a stainless steel. Mine rusted within a few hours of sharpening. In the picture, you will see that I have it oiled pretty good.

I havent that information since I ordered these blades blindly for a client (I have a small maintenance business) and when they arrive I had to make some minor modifications (drilling holes) to get them to work properly.

It means there are 2 cutting edges. Usually 50/50 meaning equal angle edges. This doesn't really mean anything unless if you sharpen your own knife.

You may need to check surface of blades! Also age of blades, if Old ; change them.

It was a while back that I bought my fan but I think I went through the same thing. My fan does have 3 blades and I recommend it to any one. You can return it if it is wrong but I suspect you will get 3 blades.Good Luck!Barbara

Which ones ? there are 3 on the blade itself and two on the fan motors blade mount.

As in the blades spinning the opposite direction? (counterclockwise - and clockwise) - Yes.

Two blades are supposed to run clockwise. Two are supposed to run anti-clockwise (counterclockwise). If they are doing this, it is correct.

I agree. The No. 2 blade is just too long, while the No. 1 is just too short... Need like a No. 1.75 or so (4 or 5 mm)

mine has 4.I think 4 is the right number.3 would crete an imbalance when picking it up by the handle.
