The Aesculap GT749 is a wide Favorita blade set for animal grooming with a specified 2.8 mm cutting length. Its 60 mm cutting width provides a broader working edge for clipping larger areas of coat. Choose it when the desired finish calls for a short cut and a wider blade suits the area being groomed. The cutting width describes the working blade, rather than the overall size of its packaging.

This blade uses the Aesculap Favorita mounting system. Carbon steel cutting plates are manufactured in Suhl, Germany, with precision grinding and milling used to form the cutting surfaces. The finished surface and tooth geometry support smooth travel through the coat and a consistent cutting pattern. Adjustable plate pressure lets the cutting plates be tensioned according to the Favorita operating instructions.

For a professional grooming setup, the GT749 is also a blade that can be maintained and resharpened. Clear hair from between the teeth and from the upper and lower cutting plates, then lubricate the cutting surfaces lightly with the recommended Aesculap blade oil. Correct cleaning, lubrication and pressure adjustment are part of keeping the blade ready for use. Aesculap specifies authorized service providers for sharpening and repair work.
