Official word from Derby is that they're part of the manufacturing process.
Hi,
On my Derby blades there number on boht sides of the blade near the corners. 1, 2, 3 and 4. What do these mean?
Thanks.
See what I mean about convincing answers?

My theory is it's part of quality control.

I guess that (along with your "theory") is the most convincing answer but I note that "part of the manufacturing process" doesn't really say much. I mean, the whole blade is part of the manufacturing process. The real question becomes what part? Your theory sounds reasonable but not authoritative.
Of course it's not an authorative theory, I don't work for Derby.
Edit: Just to get pedantic for a moment, the blade is actually the result of the manufacturing process. To flesh out my theory for you, it's very easy to say "there was an issue with point #1 on that last batch" rather than saying "the top left corner". The thing is, I'm just a guy on the Internet so any expertise I may have is effectively nullified here.

Agree 100% -- I was just rattling your cage a little. Sorry!

Don't be fooled by Chip's answer. They are there to help you align the blades with the earth's magnetic pole for maximum shaving efficiency.

all the above are lies and fabrications. in fact, the numbers, when properly decoded, indicate the exact date and time of the coming shavepocalypse. Be scared. Be prepared.
