Best deal?
 
I did do a search but the last posts I found were back in 2015. I would like to know where you get your rotary blades.
I know some buy at Harbor Freight, I was wondering were else you buy them. I would like to get 28mm and 60mm and more than 2 each.

Thanks

I like Martelli blades (www.martellinotions.com). They're more expensive than Harbour Freight, but the quality is higher and much more reliable. This makes them the best deal for me.

I've also found good deals at Connecting Threads (www.connectingthreads.com) when blades are on sale.

Both of these sources have 28 mm and 60 mm blades available.

Lately I've been buying mine on Amazon. I think they're called Quilter's Cut. I've had good luck with them and the prices are good.

I buy mine on Amazon as well. I have purchased the ones from HF, but the quality was not consistent.

I just buy Fiskars at Walmart. I tried a couple people on here said worked good for them. They didn't work for me.

I've gotten my blades from Quilted Twins, quite happy with them and the price.

Nancy’s Notions, connecting threads, Joanne Fabrics are the places I get most of my blades

I’ve found some decent deals on eBay and sometimes gotten a bonus rotary cutter in the deal. I only buy Olfa or Fiskars blades though. I am intrigued by some of the bargains on lesser known blades at other outlets, but so far not enough to try them

Same here.

I buy mine at JoAnn's with a coupon. One time I bought from Missouri Star Quilt Co. from their daily deal.

I have been getting the HF for a few years now. I go through them faster than I have other brands but they are still a better buy for the over all usage. I keep looking at other brands too but haven't found any that I can just walk in and get any time I want them and not have to wait for delivery.

I also use Harbor Freight blades . They are so cheap (a pack of 2 for $2.00) that you can afford to throw them out when they get dull.

Do a search online for Rotary Cutter blades on sale. I do that for most quilting notions I need. I find the most amazing sales sometimes. About a year ago I found on the search a warehouse place was having an inventory sell out. I called to check on the blades and got free shipping. I got Gingher rotary blades, five to a package for $4.99 a package. I got 20 packages. I think Ginger isn't making them anymore, the person I talked to said they were probably going to be rebranded so out with the old packaging. ? Anyway I have saved a lot of money by stocking up when I had the chance.

I've bought mine on eBay and had no problems. A lot cheaper than store.

Nancy’s Notions, connecting threads, local quilt shop, local sewing center , Walmart, hobby lobby. I buy my blades from wherever I see them when I need them. Mail order most often Nancy’s Notions, in person local quilt shop or the sewing center. If they are closed I might go to Walmart or H.L.

I've found great deals on Ebay. Usually they have been on damaged packages of name brand blades. They are not always available, though.
I tried the carpet blades at Harbor Freight. It was a waste of money, but maybe I just got a bad batch.
Premier blades from Amazon were recommended, but I found them to be less than great. So far, all but one has started out with a "nick". I'm not sure that is the correct description. What I mean is that it skips right out of the package> I find that particularly irritating, as I don't realize that the fabric is not cut completely, move my ruler and then find out it's not cut. Then you have to go back and try to get your ruler back in the same place and it never works. I will not buy them again.

I buy them with a coupon from JoAnn's when I can... but if I have an order going in to Quilted Twins or somewhere else that sells blades reasonably, I order from them too.

Can't say I've noticed that any one brand of blades has lasted longer than any other.
