Even with a 50% off coupon that is a lot. I can't find the note for the prices of 45 mm blades that I wrote down. Bad paper management.

For me it is time to find the best blade sharpener and start sharpening my own blades.

I recently purchased a 45 mm Olfa cutter since I can get blades at Harbor Freight, when their supplier finally gets caught up with its production for the "quilters' demands" for them!!!!!!

I just bought a True Cut rotary blade sharpenter from The Grace Company for $40. Sharpens 45mm and 60mm blades. Just sharpened my 60mm blade today--works for me!

I know. My more recent catalogs are showing me such price increases, that I'm definitely making my New Year's Resolution early - No purchasing. I'm working out of my stash, no additional rulers [cutting my own templates if needed], and using blades from Harbor Freight !!!!

My local fabric store (similar to Joanne's) recently sold their Olfa blades for $15 for a 5pk. I nearly died of shock...then bought 5 packs. LOL

60mm blades? That's a GREAT deal! Can't get 60mm blades from Harbor Freight.

Wow, Deema, you reallllllllllllllllllllllly scored! I just don't know why the price has to be so high. I used to be able to get them (60mm) for $3 apiece. I thought that was too high, but $6.40 a piece. I just can't do that.

I get 5 60 mm blades on-line for 15.oo, no tax

So where do you get yours? :-)

That sounds like a much fairer price than most stores are charging. It is ridiculous what is being charged for blades.

What online site do you get those at $15? Even when they were $3 a blade, I personally thought that was too much.

I probably should have been recycling before anyway but now I am highly motivated to do so!
