I can get re sharpened blades for 2.79. It is a gamble some times. Occasionally are out of round and they make an awkward cut and don't work real well. I can take them back for replacements but how often do I want to drive 35 miles for that price. Then I can get new blades in a five pack when on sale for 15.00. Not a big difference in price but in time and driving. I opt for the new ones.
