Even though I only paid $1.59 (had 20% coupon) for the blades, I will stick with the name brands - at least for now. Perhaps I will try them again. BTW - they fit my Fiskars, Olfa, Clover and generic 45 mm cutters with no problem and rolled in each one. They just didn't cut cleanly.
I have gotten an occasional blade that skipped with HF blades, but then I also have gotten some of the expensive blades that skipped, so it really can happen to any of the manufacturers.
