Details
A hundred sterile number 21 blades for a number 4 handle. The 21 is a large curved blade with slightly more belly length than a 20, and that is essentially the whole difference between them. The extra length pays off on long incisions. On mature cattle and horses that is noticeable. On small stock it is irrelevant, and you should be using the small blade range there anyway. The honest advice is to pick one large size and stay with it. There is no reason to keep four open boxes on a shelf. At a hundred blades to the box, use a fresh one on every animal. A sharp blade cuts at almost no pressure; a used one drags, tears, and gives you a wound that takes longer to close. These fit a number 4 handle only. Mount and strip them with a needle driver or pliers, never fingers, and always pull the blade away from your hand. Used blades go in a sharps container. Restraint, clean prep and pain control matter more than blade choice, and anything past your training is a call to your veterinarian.
