I change blades so often it's not even funny, or so it seems. My old blades and dull needles are dropped into an old empty Kraft Parmesan cheese container and stored on my cutting table until it's full. I get a new container and start all over again.

''Totally agree .... dates really tell us nothing, as to when we need to change a blade. Old worn cutting mats can impede the "cut like butter" ability. Just got a new cutting mat and oh what a difference it makes to the ease of cutting and how long my blades will now last!
Like Tartan, I keep a rotary cutter with an old blade and marked as such. Works great for paper and such.
Used blades, pins, needles all go into a piggy bank that just happened to have the right slot size for the blades to go through. It'll be a long time before it will need emptying. Only wish I had put a date on as to when I started it, just for curiosity's sake!

I love this idea and plan to use it today. I have an old rotary cutter and some old blades that I didn't know what to do with. Thank you!
