What it is
Stihl’s genuine 230 mm grass-cutting blade, part 4001 713 3805, in steel with two cutting edges. The listing names the FS 55, 56, 80, 85, 87, 90, 100, 120, 130 and 200 as compatible. When we checked in October 2026 it was in stock from a third-party seller on Amazon.co.uk.
When to use a grass blade
Line struggles in dense, tall or wet grass — it wraps, frays and wears fast. A two-tooth grass blade slices through it like a spinning scythe and leaves a cleaner cut. It’s not for brambles or woody stems: those need a 3-tooth or saw blade.
Fitting and safety
Fit it with the guard your manual specifies for metal blades, the thrust washer and the nut (Stihl blade nuts are typically left-hand thread — see how to fit a brush cutter blade). On the FS 55, check your version has a bike handle or a barrier bar, which Stihl requires for blades. Use a harness, and cut with the left side of the blade to avoid kickback (kickback explained).
