I bought some almost a year ago based on other people at my guild that they worked great. Well I ordered like 6 packages and they were horrible even with a new mat they skipped so I use them to cut paper will never purchase again!

I've never had a problem and I order 10 packs at a time.

I have never had a problem with them and think they stay sharper longer than Olfa blades.

Used to love them. Only an occasional baddie. Last year I bought 5 packs and all were so bad!!

I've given up on them. I've given up on all blades except Martelli's. They are better than any blade I've ever used, including Gingher's.
I order them thru Amazon.com at a better price than I've seen elsewhere.

I didn't know that Harbor Freight sold rotary blades. Will have to check them out. Thanks!

Count me in with those who have a dud every now and then. They're so much cheaper that I can toss that one and put in another. The good ones work great - I'll buy more.

Just put a new HF blade on and no problem. I was replacing another HF blade that worked great for months, so no complaints from me about them.

There must be some quality control issues given the inconsistent experiences reported here.
