Every figure below names its source. Each one is a manufacturer specification read off the listing itself. The judgments are ours.

Two knives, and that is the machine talking

A two-knife cutterhead puts two edges per revolution into the timber. A three-knife head puts three, which is a finer feed per cut at the same feed rate and a smoother surface.

The DeWalt DW735 sets on this shelf are threes because that machine has a three-knife head. This is a two because the named Delta machines have two.

The count is not a property of the knives. It is a property of the head, and getting it wrong leaves a gap in it.

Four machines, and a Delta part number

The 22-560, the 22-565, the TP305 and the TP400LS, replacing Delta 22-562.

Four model names sharing one knife says Delta used the same head across a range — which also means the knife is likely to stay available.

The published 260 mm (10.2 in) knives on this shelf name no machine at all, and their page ends there: machine-specific, check the length against your cutterhead.

Three figures, and all three have to match

A planer knife is bought by its section, not by its machine name.

Length sets which cutterhead it spans. Width sets how far it projects past the clamping bar. Thickness sets whether the clamp closes on it at all. A knife an eighth of an inch too long will not seat; one a tenth of a millimeter too thick will not clamp.

Which is why the machine list on a listing is a convenience and the three dimensions are the specification — and why two listings on this shelf for the same DeWalt part publish two different lengths.

And reversible is not stated

The maker’s DW735 and DW734 listings on this shelf both say double-edged or reversible outright.

This one does not mention it.

So whether these knives carry one edge or two is unknown from the page — and that halves or doubles what the set is worth. It is the figure to ask the seller for.

What comes up most often

Two knives or three — does the count tell you anything?

It tells you the cutterhead. A two-knife head puts two edges per revolution into the timber; a three-knife head puts three, which means a finer feed per cut at the same feed rate and a smoother surface. It also means slightly less load per knife. The DeWalt DW735 sets on this shelf are threes because that machine has a three-knife head; this is a two because the Delta machines named have two. The count is not a specification of the knives — it is a specification of the machine, and getting it wrong means a head with a gap in it.

Is “reversible” implied?

Not by this page. The maker's DW735 and DW734 listings on this shelf both state double-edged or reversible outright; this one does not mention it. Whether these knives have one edge or two is therefore unknown from the listing, and it halves or doubles the value of the set. It is the one figure worth asking the seller for, because a single-edged knife at this price against a double-edged one at the same price is two different purchases.

Why does naming four machines help?

Because a planer knife fits a cutterhead, not a model name, and four model names sharing one knife tells a buyer that Delta used the same head across a range — which also means the knife is likely to stay available. The published 260 mm (10.2 in) knives on this shelf name no machine at all and their page ends on it: machine-specific, check the length against your cutterhead. Four names and a Delta part number is the better position, and the three dimensions would be better still.
