The AMP'D uses a 28-tooth cutter, a thinner cutting blade and a deeper grooved stationary blade — the geometry that produces the crunch. That reshapes the surface a guard has to grip, which is why Andis built a dedicated comb set for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill this fit my Phenom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndis sells a separate Phenom AMP'D Blade, #564795. The two share the 28-tooth and 0000–0A spec, but Andis lists them as distinct items. Order 564793 for a Recon and 564795 for a Phenom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it fit the Recon Trimmer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Recon Trimmer #562697 is a T-blade tool. This is a clipper blade for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/andis-recon-clipper-562257-9000-spm-vector-motor-phaze-blade\"\u003eRecon Clipper #562257\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it DLC coated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is stainless steel. Andis publishes DLC for the sibling Phenom AMP'D blade and for the Recon Phaze blade, but not for this one — so if a retailer tells you this blade is DLC, they are repeating the wrong spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does AMP'D mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a blade line within Andis's LYNC System, defined by the 28-tooth cutter and the crunch. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/andis-ampd-magnetic-comb-set-564994\"\u003eAMP'D magnetic comb set #564994\u003c\/a\u003e is built for the same system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it different from the Phaze blade my Recon came with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Phaze is the stock blade. AMP'D changes the geometry — more teeth on the cutter, a thinner cutting blade, deeper grooves on the stationary. Barbers buy it for the feed and the sound, not for a different length range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Barbers Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrunch is not just a noise. A blade that audibly feeds tells you it is cutting rather than dragging, and on a dense head that feedback is the difference between working through hair and fighting it. This is the cheapest way to change how a Recon feels — as long as you order the right guards with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Andis\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndis has manufactured professional clippers and blades in Wisconsin since 1922.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour Barber Connect – Stocked.
