Replacement Blades for the Tandir 120: Right Blade, Right Edge, Right Price

The right blade for the Tandir 120 — the short answer

The Tandir 120 takes a 120 mm blade with the Tandir mount. Two variants exist in the range: 120 mm Tandir serrated and 120 mm Tandir smooth, both in hardened premium steel at around €28 excl. VAT. The only real choice is the edge type — the rest is dictated by the machine.

How to confirm the fit

The Tandir mount is brand-specific: the centre cut-out is shaped for Tandir machine shafts and does not fit Dost, Jet or universal machines. Check two things against your old blade:

1. The diameter is 120 mm — Tandir machines also exist in 100 mm; the 100 mm blades are a separate size and not interchangeable with 120.
2. The centre cut-out shape matches your old blade. Unsure? Photograph the old blade and compare with the product image, or read the specifications guide.

Serrated or smooth for the Tandir 120?

You mostly run…	Choose
Classic doner/gyros, marinated fibrous meat	Serrated — teeth grip and hold sharpness longer
Chicken shawarma, soft cones	Serrated
Presentation cutting, thin even slices	Smooth — cleanest cut face
Mixed use, simplest maintenance	Smooth — easier to resharpen

The deeper reasoning is in the serrated vs smooth comparison.

Prices, delivery and a reserve blade

Both variants sit around €28 excl. VAT with delivery in 2–5 business days across Europe. Pay by card, Swish, Apple Pay or Google Pay; 14-day returns.

A practical tip for a Tandir 120 in daily service: keep one reserve blade of your main type on hand. When the edge gives out mid-week, the downtime costs more than the blade — and rotating two blades makes the sharpening cycle far more relaxed.

FAQ

Will a universal blade fit my Tandir 120?

No. The Tandir 120 requires the Tandir mount — the keyhole mount on universal blades does not fit the machine's shaft.

What is the difference between Tandir 100 and Tandir 120 blades?

The diameter — 100 vs 120 mm — and therefore the machine model they fit. They are not interchangeable: a wrong diameter fouls the guard or cuts unevenly.

How often does a Tandir 120 blade need replacing?

In daily service: sharpen regularly and expect replacement after a few months, once sharpening stops holding or the diameter has visibly shrunk.

Can I alternate serrated and smooth on the same machine?

Yes — a blade swap takes about a minute. Some operators run serrated at peak volume and smooth when presentation matters most.
