This Slim Blade was originally developed for the Taurus I through II.2 series as a thinner version of the standard blade.
It has the same dimension as a standard or separating blade front to back but is thinner as you look at it straight on. For this reason it is just as strong as a Standard Blade but can cut quicker front to back and leave a slightly smaller kerf, (.062). It cuts the same as a standard blade left to right and its action is omni-directional.
The blade shape is oval .062 x .072 (front to back) and the material thickness capacity is 3/8", with normal use is 1/8". The average blade life is 40-60 hours.
