F. Dick 16 mm Bacon Ripper Replacement Blades, 5-Pack

Sixteen millimeters is one step wider than the 14 mm blade that comes fitted to the F. Dick bacon ripper (item 9042000). This pack holds five 16 mm blades for processors who want that slightly wider cut along the ribs of a pork belly.

Changing the blade width changes how much the ripper takes with each pass. Operations that settle on 16 mm can stock this pack and swap blades as each one dulls, so the bellies that reach the slicer all look the same. A keen blade also reduces the effort of each pull on a long run.

Fit the blade into the ripper head where the old one sat. Mark the box with the date it was opened, which helps track how many bellies each blade handles. The original-width 14 mm blades and the wider 20 mm blades fit the same ripper, and the table below compares all four.
