Habor Freight Store will have a sale with them selling for $1.49, but they don't always have them in stock. Still $1.99 for 2 blades is very reasonable.

Grannie, you are so right. Too bad I just got a new order. I pd. $1.79 & am still happy.
My first order was on back order & I had to wait a cpl. of months but it was worth it.

So other than price, how are the harbor freight blades different from the brand name blades?

Less expensive! Work just as well as the olfa blades just price as far as I can tell. Been using them for quite sometime now and they last as long as the more expensive blades.

Good Luck

I've used them for awhile & see no problem with them.

I just hope the HF people don't find out they aren't charging us quilters enough. LOL

Just flipped my blade over yesterday, works good as new again. No more sides to flip to when it gets dull again though. :-)
