Did you know you can take them out and turn them over? I do that with mine and they cut like new on the other angle...I try to keep using mine too as long as I can..I bought 5 of the 5 packs of them off eBay and now I can't find them!! I got a great deal on them, paid $25 and the guy shipped them free!! They were fiscars too not an off brand. I wish he would have had more packages, I would have gotten more of them. I think my quilt gremlins are up to no good again!! They love to hide stuff from me constantly..
