A2 Carbon Steel Horse Clipper Blade 24 Teeth 3mm Cutting Height for Lister Clippers

The A2 horse clipper blade is a carbon steel detachable blade built for Lister’s horse clippers. It uses a 24-teeth cutter and a 35-teeth comb to leave a 3 mm cutting height — a practical working length for body clipping, tidying and general horse grooming. The A2 clipper head is also compatible with Lister’s blades, so the blade and head can be matched to the clipper system already in the yard.

A2 blade specifications

What the A2 blade is designed to do

The A2 is a straight detachable blade for everyday horse clipping. The 24-teeth cutter works against a 35-teeth comb to feed the coat evenly and leave a consistent 3 mm finish. That length is long enough to avoid a bald look on sensitive areas, and short enough to keep a working horse cool and clean.

• Body clipping and tidying: a consistent 3 mm cut across the neck, shoulder, barrel and hindquarters.
• General grooming: useful where a full show clip is not needed but the coat needs to be brought back under control.
• Replacement and spare stock: a direct spare for yards and groomers already running Lister clippers.

The A2 blade and its clipper head

The A2 blade seats on the A2 clipper head. The head is made for A2 blades and is also compatible with Lister’s blades, which means a customer can keep using the same head while choosing between A2 blades and the Lister blade pattern. That interchangeability is useful for yards that already own Lister clippers and want a straightforward replacement route.

Fits the clippers already in the yard

Compatibility is the first question for any replacement blade. The A2 is intended for Lister’s horse clippers, and the matching head follows the same fitting. Before ordering a carton, check the clipper model and the existing head on the machine; if the yard is running a different system, the A5 range is the correct family rather than the A2.

The A-series range at a glance

The A2 sits in a wider A-series family produced for Lister-type horse clippers. The chart below shows the other models and their cutter, comb and cutting-height combinations, which helps when a customer needs more than one blade number.

Carbon steel care

Carbon steel takes a keen edge and holds it well under normal clipping, but it is not stainless. A few habits keep the blade cutting straight and stop rust between seasons:

• Brush the coat clean and dry before clipping; grit wears the cutter faster than hair does.
• Oil the blade every ten minutes or so during use, and wipe it clean at the end of the session.
• Store the blade with a light film of oil, not in a damp tack box.
• Check the tension if the blade starts to chatter or leave lines; a loose blade cuts unevenly.
