Difference from the Gold Stagger-Tooth Blade (2161-700):

• 2191: Standard moving blade for a cleaner, more predictable cut and stronger line removal.
• 2161-700: Stagger-tooth moving blade that feeds hair more gradually into the cutter, helping create softer blends and the signature Wahl "crunch" sound. Many barbers use the 2161 for blending and the 2191 for more direct line removal. Community feedback suggests both perform very well, with preference largely coming down to cutting style.
