The blades are made from surgical stainless steel (significantly more durable then carbon steel) with a steel back that produces less particulate than the aluminum back type. Packed 10 blades per dispenser, 200 dispensers per case. The blade (including steel back) measures 39 mm x 19 mm x 0.23 mm thick (1½"x ¾ "x 0.009"). 10 Pack
