Absolutely true, Mike! The other night I found myself "sawing" with my blade (which was my second one in a week because the brand is so bad). When I was finished, I was shocked to see the cuts in my mat. Poor thing. Plus I found my elbow hurting and that rarely happens to me.
Good thing that was the last of my pack of so-called sharp, new blades.
I've tried several different brands and when i try to be cheap (anything buy Olfa) I regret it.
