What blade is used for shaping the dutch clip?

• A. #15
• B. #30
• C. #5/8
• D. #10

Answer: (C)

Choosing the right blade length is essential for shaping the Dutch clip because it controls how much hair you remove and how clean the edges will be. For this style, a mid-length blade—five-eighths of an inch—lets you sculpt the outline with precision while preserving enough coat to keep the silhouette smooth and natural. If you used a shorter blade, you’d cut too close too quickly, which can make the edges look jagged and harder to blend evenly. A longer blade would leave more length but make it difficult to achieve crisp, defined lines. That balanced result is why the five-eighths inch blade is the best choice for shaping the Dutch clip.
