Sharpening vs replacing rotary cutter blades

04-19-2019I 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.Originally Posted by quiltinghere
I checked out the site on lpsharp and in my opinion those prices are high. Plus you have to pay for postage to mail in my old ones???No thanks

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)

It is called the Dual Rotary Blade Sharpener by Dritz
LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
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!Originally Posted by taiboo
