The Andis UltraEdge Size 3 3/4 Skip Tooth is a detachable grooming blade for body clipping at a nominal 1/2-inch, 13 mm length. Andis describes this blade for long hair and coarse coats. Its alternating tooth pattern identifies the skip-tooth version and is an important detail when matching a replacement to the blade used for a particular grooming task.

The steel undergoes Andis's hardening treatment to improve durability and edge life. A chrome finish helps resist rust. The detachable design makes the blade accessible for cleaning and allows it to be exchanged with other compatible blades when a different cutting length is needed.

Andis identifies compatibility with AG, AGC, BG, DBLC, FHC, MBG and SMC clippers. Check the model on your handpiece before ordering, particularly when maintaining several different clippers. The 13 mm figure describes the nominal hair left by the blade, rather than the blade's physical thickness.

For regular upkeep, Andis recommends brushing away loose hair, cleaning and disinfecting the blade with suitable products, and oiling between cuts. Remove excess care product as directed before returning to clipping. Consistent cleaning and lubrication are part of maintaining the cutting surfaces.
