Those rotary cutter blades from ?? for $1.98 for two. (Got some a while ago - but don't remember name now)
How about you?
ETA: But it seems like something newer and better is always becoming available. WAAAAAH!
I use a Fiskars handle but it will accept Olfa blades, so I use either one, but I find that within an hour of using a new blade I have created "no cut" zones. I assume I am hitting the plastic ruler. Re-sharpening helps a little, but this is still one of the more expensive parts of my quilting obsession - oops, hobby. How long do people find the Harbor Freight blades last? (I don't even try to cut more than two layers of cloth)
