Have one in my rotary and it has cut alot of fabric plus batting and it still works good. Very pleased, plus save a lot of money.

The first package I used were wonderful, but the second package skipped and I had to press real hard. Don't think I will buy them again. Have to use up the remaining packages I bought. I even tried sharpening them with my rotary cutter sharpener and couldn't get them sharp or evened out.

I bought 6 packages....gave a few away and have had terrific luck with them...they are a tad thicker and the cut is farther up on the blade ...to me they work great...and have for the ones that I've given away as well. I think they are sharpen than the Olfa blades I've had...I will continue to use them and promote them..gotta save where ya can..sorry about your luck if yours isn't working well...BUT I'd rather throw away a blade that was about a buck than one that was defective that cost me 6 or 8 bucks.

No problem with using the HF blades, in fact, they seem sharper to me.

It seems the consensus (sp?) is; HF has rotary blades that work great. I'm on my way tomorrow to get some. Thanks for this subject.

I would like to find out. I ordered several packs of blades 3 months ago and do not have them yet. Back order is one thing, but 3 months is past ridiculous. There is no store in town so I have to order them.

Same here. I love mine and have made the same comment. Cuts like going through butter. Well worth the price.
