I bought about 40 Olfa blades on eBay a while ago, so when they get dull, I don't hesitate to change them. I got a really good price, but I bid on them and I am up very late so it is a bit easier to win some of the auctions.

No thanks
That was my exact thoughts. I either use HF blades when I can get them, or I order a bunch on ebay for way less then the price he gets for sharpening.

JoAnne's has them on sale 50% right now. You have to ask for the multi packs at our store, as they are (sadly) small enough to pocket and walk out. (I'm in MI)

Which sharpener did you use? Been wondering about that since i have a hard time finding my replacement blade size, seems that dont make it any longer and I wont get rid of my cutter.
I also have this sharpener (tho' not in the kids toy box..LOL) and find it works well, and gives me longer use on old blades. Had a nick in one, and it pretty well removed it. About $15. if you pay full price, which I try never to do!
