There has been chatter about where to buy your rotary blades. I have in the past bought them at JAF and have no problem with them. Hope that you are cutting on a proper self healing rotary mat and not one of those plastic imitation mats. One nick on an acrylic ruler will ruin the blade.

Hope you post a picture. There are a bunch of us that are Bargellos lovers.
