Default Olfa endurance blades

Has anyone tried them? They are supposed to stay sharp twice as long and I am wondering if they are worth picking up.

I haven't tried them. I'll be interested to hear others experiences are with them.

I am using one. Yes, so far I believe they are better. Difficult to tell how much further it will go; but seems to have a lot of life left.

I am using one of them now. I purchased a two pack of them on some internet special so they weren't super expensive more than regular ones. I have been giving it hard use and it has not started to skip in any area. No double passes to get the fabric cut. I am really happy with it and it is really sharp. I use a cutter that has an automatic retractable blade for safety. I believe that are made with titanium coating. I also like my titanium sewing machine needles. I have had only a couple break (always my fault) and they stay sharp a long time. I'm happy with these products.

They are great...long lasting. Personally, I think they are worth the price. I bought my first ones on line from a special pop up. They were really good but the Olfa ones are superior!

Shucks...I purchased one and I just put a new blade in but forgot to grab the endurance one. I’ll put it on top for the next time.

I just checked the price of these Olfa endurance blades on Amazon.com....$7.50 plus shipping. Is that normal or high? Does JoAnn's carry them....bet they are cheaper there with a coupon!
