I broke down and bought one of those linear blade sharpeners, works on any size blade and almost every style of rotary cutter. Here is a link to the product page at the Grace Company, who makes it. I got a great deal for mine on Amazon. It won't get out nicks or repair a damaged blade, but it will sharpen one that's just gotten dull. Blades are expensive, I want to make mine last as long as possible!

It was a few months ago, and I thought Amazon was where I found it, but I have been known to be wrong before on at least a couple of occasions! I had looked a while to find the best price. Couldn't find one locally. If you do a search you can probably find one for less than the $40. I'm pretty sure I paid $29.99 and got free shipping, just wish I could remember who I ordered it from.

A friend of mine gave me a blade to try from Harbor Freight and it worked just as good as the name brands. She paid $1.99 for 2 blades. I couldn't believe it until I went there and saw it for myself. They are used for cutting carpet.

Sounds like a dead spot in your mat rather than the blade.
