I invested in one of the blade sharpeners about a year ago and I have not been disappointed. Sure cuts down on the blade purchases. Eventually I will have to purchase some new blades, you can only sharpen them so many times I do believe.
Good investment and go through a lot of blades here.

I use a small manual one from JoAnns, $17.99, had a 50% off coupon though. Takes a lot of wrist work to sharpen a blade, two sides. Yellow side for knocking off burs and cleaning up the blade. Grey side for smothing it out. Works good for me, I also set it on a jar, like a lid for extra comfort. When sharpening a lot of blades, make puppy dog eyes at DH and he helps me.
Tried to load pics of it but it locks up my computer. SHould be able to see it if you go to JoAnns website.

A friend of mine in Indiana told me about Harbor Freight and we have one that is only about 25 minutes from our house. Never paid attention to the store. This same friend said that she thought they were actually cutting better than the Olfa blades. Since I have started using them, just a few weeks ago, I can attest to that--they just glide along and cut extremely good. I only bought one pack but plan to go back for more, if they have them.
