Ladies, I was given the following blades in a SP swap but forgot who gave them to me, and was wondering where do you find this kind of blade? Was wondering if they're cheaper to buy than the regular Olfa ones. OMG, I just went to the website and they are cheap! BUT WHERE CAN I FIND THEM AROUND HERE W/O ORDERING THEM FROM THE WEBSITE?? http://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of...des-97642.html

they look like the ones from harbor freight. if yours are from h.f., the harbor freight ones are 2 blades for $1.99 so they would be cheaper than olfa. there are a couple of threads regarding the harbor freight blades. you may want to take a look at them also.
i buy my rotary blades on ebay and have found them cheaper than buying in the fabric stores, online or with coupons.

I have heard good and bad things about these blades.
In fact the ONLY bad thing I heard was that they "skipped"
while cutting. Than the person who was using the blade
pulled out their NEW cutting mat that was not all scratched,
cut, nicked whatever you want to call it and the blade went
through the fabric like butter.
I have not tried them yet, but was thinking about it next time
that I make a trip to HF.
