Thanks again for your input to my querry. I was afraid this was all too goo to be true. I have also heard a lot of bad reviews on the Harbor Freight blades...Our HF stores are quite a ways from where we live and they don't even carry the blades. I did look at the ones on e-bay and have considered that.
I have the "manual rotary blade sharpener" and it's ok for a quick fix, but the edge doesn't last very long at all...but as I said previously, I don't think the quality of the blades is as good as it used to be...IMHO.
Thanks again QB friends....
