I agree, I don't think they are quite as sharp. Or at least they don't last as long. I have a big supply, so I'm not going to worry how often I have to change them.

Same here. Two come in a package and both have been very sharp.

I also don't think they are as sharp as the ofla blades and don't stay sharp as long either. Just my opinion. But are a good backup.

I've had no problems cutting with them.

I haven't had any problems with them, they are great, and for that price you can change them often. Sherry

Make sure you have put only one blade in your cutter, I have had students have problems with their cutter and found out that they had not slid the two blades apart and had two in the rotary cutter. Just a thought. Sherry

Same here plus I needed to wash the blade first because it was oily. Bought a large supply, need to see how the other behave, it may had been a bad blade...lets hope.
