sorry. just checked my statement and find that they were only $2.50 each.
can't beat that with a stick! now i love them more.
by the way, they came to me really well-packed, with vinyl between each blade and lightly oiled, 25 to a clear zip-lock bag.
when i think about the price of gas and what it would have cost to keep shopping for them i think i got a real bargain.
