I try to buy my blades when they are on sale, and usually buy the 5 pack. I find it very hard (and dangerous!) to seperate one blade from the others when I want to install a new one. How do you handle them?

I put it back into the package and discard it. Is amazing how many times the kids need to use a rotary cutter. I wonder what they did before I quilted.

If you exchange 5 blades, and they don't have to be olfa, you can get new olfa blades for $3 each, minimum order of 5 and free shipping. Seems like a steal to me!
