Harbor Freight, and possibly other hardware stores but I don't know of them, sell rotary carpet cutters with the 45mm blades 2 to the package with the cutter.
The also sell 2 packs of replacement blades for those cutters.
Guess what, they fit our quilting/sewing rotary cutters!!
Have you noted the price of quilters' blades??? Of course you have, I'm just being hyperbolic.
9.00 or more for one blade in some cases.
Well, the carpet cutter blades are 1.99 for 2, used to be 1.49 but the price seems to have gone up in the past month all over the place.

Anyhoo, it's a nice break for quilters for a change.
