For how long does a blade least?

It really depends on how much you use it and how detailed your cuts are. When I first started using mine, I cut a lot of doilies and the blade didn't last as long. I no longer cut doilies, so now I'm only on my 2nd blade since 2012 and I use my Silhouette Cameo almost every day. Hope this helps!

The min setting is 1 mm but if you remove the adjustable top then are you left with about a .5mm setting. This would consist of just the blade, which works well in my opinion.

I was only able to cut an inch and a quarter roughly. it takes 31/2 inch blades.

I occasionally use a steel for two or three swipes just to be sure no small burs are left on the blade. Probably not really necessary, but old habits die hard. Very little metal removed and the sharpened blades seem to hold their edge for at least a month.

That will vary a great deal depending on the hardness of the blade. I am one of those always looking for that last little bit of sharpness, so I've spent up to 5 minutes with the ultrafine stones. But the results seem to be about as good as they can get after two minutes or so. I don't count strokes, sorry.

No. The blade, minus the handle, is a little less than 20. Overall its about 26 in.

1/4" at the spine. Hopefully sharp at the belly, and the spine should narrow to a point with a back edge for about 1/3 of the length of the blade.

I found that anything over about 5 inches starts to yield problems with the edge since you tend to be "way out" on the rods trying to produce a consistent blade angle. If you are looking at producing a cutting edge on a blade over about 5 inches you probably won't be satisfied.

The blade is 4 inches long...pretty good balance..weak at the holes..but good overall

The blade is only about an inch long. Only really useful for opening letters and such.

it depends on how short you want your cut. seven f is the shortest and three f is the longest. i have three of my own dogs i groom and i like mine short year round. some people like their dogs long. three f is about inch long when cut. hope this helps.

My opinion, and it is only an opinion since many people have ideas about what blade to use for a particular project, is this. You need a blade with 48 teeth or more for cutting sheet material. It cuts slower, but a finer cut. Less teeth for a rougher cut.

Only a few minutes, its best used on a regular basis, say once a month, to maintain the edge. Works bese on the older home knives that have had a hard life.Best regards,Paul EastonCEO Razor Red

use the #2 stone. If knife is really dull it may take several passes maybe 6.

The blade is about 1 1/2 inches long, while the knife itself is a little over two inches

Probably around an inch and a half or so. They make an edger blade that's about a quarter inch in width usually used to do designs on the side of the head.

My Good Friend....It dosent matter if, or how sharp it is really. Its 68in long...for you to hold it and swing it like a normal man/person...you would need to be at least 11-15 feet tall. I cant even take it out of the scabbord just holding it...you have to lay it down and pull it out. Its just for show really...trust me. However...to answer your question...its not dull...but not razor sharp. You dont really need this blade to be that sharp.
