I just buy my fiskar blades at walmart too. I use so many because I cut ans sew so much.

Someone on here, a while back suggested a deal of 10 blades for a cheaper price. I tried them and the dull fiskar blades cut much better than those.

From now on I will stick with fiskar.

I ordered the Ormkraft blades. They got here really fast. Think I will go and try them out. (5 minutes later) OMG they are SHARP!!! So Canadian pricing including tax and flat rate shipping these work out to less than $4 a blade. For those of you in the US they will be even cheaper.

I've been using the same blade for quite a while now. I sharpen them with a piece of aluminum foil. I just cut a few strips of the foil with the blade and it works amazingly well!

I too, buy my blades from eBay but only from one manufacturer - Diamond Cutter American Quilting Blade! The 45mm cost [email protected] - 60mm cost $19.99 for 10. I love these blades they seem to stay sharp forever - I've made 8 Queen size quilts with the one I have in my 60mm cutter right now. I've been ordering them by the hundreds for my local quilting guild because buying in bulk reduces the price to about a $1.00 per blade. We all use the different cutters Olfa, Fiskars, Clover, Dritz, True Cut and so far every one has been very happy with the blades.

Look. Good to know, Sewfew. I'll check it out.

The secret to the blade sharpeners is use them on a sharp blade to keep the blade sharp. Don't wait until the blade is dull. Ever see a knife lover not whet their knife blade before using? I sharpen a sharp blade before each cutting session. My blade last for months before skipping if I don't get a nick in it. The fist skip I replace it.

I've had good luck with the Harbor Freight carpet cutters but I also buy Martelli blades when there's a 50% off sale. Sorry, I'm no help whatsoever.

I just ordered these today. I'm looking forward to trying them out.

Try eBay. I once bought a "lot" (not "a lot ") of brand blades for $1 apiece. Haven't run out yet. Also more likely to get rid of a dull blade. I have a sharpener that buys a few more cuts but doesn't sharpen like new.

I still have several packages of the Harbor Freight blades that I will never use. In my humble opinion, they won't cut hot butter. Been checking websites for coupons for 40 to 50% off at Michael's, Hobby Lobby that I can use on blades plus ordering from Missouri Star, Quilt in a Day etc whenever they have a pack on sale. Currently I'm about 15 blades ahead of myself. If the blade isn't sharp I'm not a happy quilter!
