KLIP replacement blades are a stainless steel cutter pair that restores your HØJ KLIP slicer to factory sharpness. The set includes the original HØJ levitation blade and static blade — the two parts that actually wear on the pocket-sized device that slices your herb with sharpened steel instead of the usual shark-tooth grinder. If your KLIP is starting to feel less crisp than the day you bought it, these are the parts you buy to bring it back to life.
Why swap the blades instead of the whole KLIP
Because the blades are the one part that actually wears out. The aluminium body of the KLIP will outlive most of us — the two blades inside are what do the work, and like any kitchen knife, they dull with use. A sliced herb keeps its trichomes on the surface where the flavour and aroma sit; a crushed one leaves roughly 30-40% of that stuck to the walls of a toothed grinder. Once your KLIP starts tearing instead of slicing, you're back to grinder territory. Fresh KLIP replacement blades fix that in about 30 seconds.
The set contains both the levitation blade (the one that moves when you twist the cap) and the static blade (the fixed counterpart underneath). HØJ designs them to work as a pair — replacing only one is a false economy because the cutting action depends on both edges meeting cleanly. Fit them together and you're back to the clean herbal ribbons the KLIP is known for.
What you get when you order this replacement pack
You get one levitation blade and one static blade, both machined from 420-grade stainless steel to HØJ's original spec. These are the genuine parts — same geometry, same metal, same finish as the blades your KLIP shipped with. No third-party knock-offs, no "compatible with" workarounds that bend after two uses.

When to replace your KLIP blades
Replace your KLIP replacement blades when the output feels torn rather than sliced — typically after 12-18 months of daily use. A few signs we hear about from customers at the counter:
- The output feels torn or fluffy instead of sliced into clean strips
- The twist action feels rougher or catches where it used to glide
- Visible nicks or dulling on the cutting edges after 1,000+ twists
- More residue (around 15-20% extra) sticking to the blades after each session
- Sticky or resinous buildup that won't come off even after cleaning
Most daily users we've spoken to get a year or more out of the factory blades before they notice a difference. If you only use the KLIP 2-3 times a week, the original set can last 3-4 years. Either way, having a spare set in the drawer means you're not left short when the edge finally goes.
Comparison: fresh blades vs dull blades vs toothed grinder
A fresh KLIP blade pair produces noticeably different output than either a worn set or a conventional grinder. Here's how the three stack up:
| Factor | Fresh KLIP blades | Dull KLIP blades | Toothed grinder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Output texture | Clean ribbons | Torn strips | Crushed fluff |
| Trichome retention | High (on surface) | Medium | Low (sticks to walls) |
| Time per session | ~5 seconds | ~15 seconds | ~20 seconds |
| Residue on tool | Minimal | Moderate | Heavy |
| Cleaning frequency | Every 2-3 weeks | Weekly | Every session |
How to swap the blades
Swapping the blades takes under a minute and needs no tools. Follow these six steps:
- Twist the top of the KLIP off to separate the halves.
- Remove the old levitation blade from the top section — it lifts straight out.
- Remove the old static blade from the bottom section.
- Seat the new static blade in the lower housing, matching the orientation of the old one.
- Place the new levitation blade into the top section the same way.
- Reassemble, give it a twist to check the action, and you're done.
Keep the old blades out of reach — they're still sharp enough to nick a finger even when they're past their prime for slicing herb.
From our counter
We had a customer last spring who came in convinced his KLIP was broken — the twist had gotten stiff and the output was coming out shredded. Turned out he'd been using it daily for nearly two years without ever swapping the blades. He walked out with a fresh HS3630 set, fitted them in the car park, and was back inside within five minutes to tell us it felt like a brand-new device. That's the thing with KLIP blades: people forget they're a consumable, not a permanent fixture.
The honest limitation
These blades only fit the full-size HØJ KLIP. If you've got a Mini KLIP or another brand's slicer, this set won't work — the geometry is specific to the full-size KLIP. Double-check your model before you order. Also worth saying: if your KLIP is still slicing cleanly, you don't need these yet. Sharp blades last longer than people expect, and there's no benefit to swapping them early.
Complete your KLIP kit with a set of HØJ cleaning tools to keep the blades free of resin between swaps — a clean blade stays sharper for longer. If you're travelling with the KLIP, the HØJ carry case keeps the device and a spare blade set tucked safely in one place. Customers who buy the HS3630 set often get the cleaning kit at the same time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these blades fit the Mini KLIP?
No. These replacement blades are sized for the full-size KLIP only. The Mini KLIP uses different blade geometry and needs its own dedicated replacement set.
How often do KLIP blades need replacing?
There's no fixed schedule — daily users tend to notice a drop in slicing quality after around 12-18 months, while occasional users can go 3-4 years. Swap them when the output starts feeling torn rather than cleanly sliced.
Do I need to replace both blades at the same time?
Yes, we'd recommend it. The levitation and static blades cut as a pair — replacing only one means the fresh edge meets a worn one, which defeats the point. The set is sold together for exactly this reason.
Are these original HØJ blades or third-party copies?
Original HØJ parts — made to the same spec as the blades that ship with a new KLIP. We don't stock third-party substitutes because the tolerances on the KLIP are tight (within 0.1mm) and aftermarket blades tend to slice poorly.
How do I clean the blades to make them last longer?
Wipe them down with a dry cloth or soft brush after use, and do a deeper clean with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol every 2-3 weeks to remove resin buildup. Dry fully before reassembly. Avoid the dishwasher — heat and detergent can dull the edge over time.
Can I sharpen the old blades instead of buying a replacement?
In theory yes, in practice not really. The blade geometry is precise and hard to match freehand, and a badly sharpened blade will slice worse than a dull factory one. For a few euros, a fresh set is the simpler fix.
Where can I buy genuine HØJ KLIP replacement blades in the Netherlands?
Azarius stocks the original HS3630 set shipped directly from HØJ. If you're in Amsterdam you can pick them up at our shop off the Kerkstraat, or order online for delivery across the EU.
