The difference is in the hole in the blade....the notched holes will not fit Martelli cutters. The round holes will, as well as Fiskar's. HF has a round hole so if you are trying to use it in an Olfa cutter, it will not perform.[/quote]
I have a martelli cutter and they fit fine I have no problem with mine I do clean them well before I put them in my cutter....
they fit the olfa I have too....

JoanneS]I've noticed that HF blades don't work in my Martelli cutter, but they do work in my Olfa & Fiskars cutters. I've had 1 bad blade out of the 5 or 6 I've tried so far. That still makes the price ok for me![/quote]
I have a martelli cutter and they work great haven't had a problem but my friend had one but it was because it seemed like it had more oil on them in the package cleaned them off well and they worked fine she also had a martelli cutter i love that cutter.....

I use them all the time and no problems, when my blades do go bad, I use them in a separate rotary cutter clearly marked paper. Great for cutting birthday or Christmas wrap etc. YOu can get a lot of miles on them for this. I still think it is a bargain. I have had name brands that didn't hold up after a short time, so I have no issue with them.

I've tried turning the blades over thinking I may have put it on wrong. Anyone else have these problems? Bought them awhile ago and didn't save receipt so I guess I'll have to save my JoAnn's coupons and go invest in the real thing. UGH!

Sorry, but remember the old saying "You get what you pay for!" The blades that I recommend and sell in my online store are made by KAI. They are packaged individually because they're extremely sharp, and are made of Tungsten Japanese Steel which means they last a long time. The problem with these bargain blades is they're using low quality and sometimes recycled steel.
