They're call rotary carpet cutter blades. I just bought some Saturday at HF in Winston-Salem. Luckily, they still had some. They're in the section with carpet tools (at least in this store).

They are carpet blades that are like rotary cutting blades. I just checked on them to see what shipping would be and it is $6.99.
Thought that that was a little pricey.
I will just wait to see if my store will get some in. The Harbor Freight near me is an hour away, but I go there regularly. They were out the other day.

Yes that is me, always trying to get the most out of the blade and when I change it it is like cutting in heaven.

Even tho the HF blades are on backorder online, if you call your local store and give them the item #97642, if they have some coming in a delivery, they might hold some for you until you can come pick them up. Our store did that for me. She told me they would be in Weds. evening, so if I would call before closing Weds. nite, they would hold them for me. They had to be delivered to the store before they can hold them. So I called back Weds. nite, and put 20 on hold, which I picked up today!!! But I have been using one of the 3 blades I got week before last in the package with the cutter for $3.99, since I bought it and it is still sharp and cutting well. I only need to go over it more than once if I have more than 4 layers or if the fabric is thick like flannel or corduroy and more than 2 layers. And that is only now in the last couple days. When it was new, it easily cut thru 8 layers of cotton in one cut.

I save my old blades for my daughter to use in paper crafting. They are still sharp enough for her to cut with. Recycling baby!!

The Harbor Freight blades I looked at didn't have the same kind of hole that my Olfa blades do. What part number did you order?
