I have to say that the consistency of MOST of Harbor FREIGHT TOOLS is far from Stellar. They are cheaply made tools that are offered at a fraction of the price for good reason. I honestly wouldn't buy their blades at all. I only buy blades at JoAnns using my 50% of coupon or stock up on them when their 50% sale is. Also, I must say that there are so very good sharpeners out there that allow you to get maximum use out of your blades. I have 3 types and have found one to be superior.

Kathy, I couldn't find the brand on it. The bottom reads: www.usasharpeners.com and it says Patent Pending. I bought it about 5 years ago. I like that is has a backup sharpener that is stored on the bottom and it sharpens both 45mm and 60mm blades. You simply put the sharpening stone that is on the end of the small handle in different holes to accommodate different sized blades. It works beautifully.

I bought a bunch of packs when everyone was first talking about them but had other blades and never opened them. I just opened the first pack tonight and the blade works great. So I give them a :thumbup: on my small sample of 1 blade. lol
