The difference is in the hole in the blade....the notched holes will not fit Martelli cutters. The round holes will, as well as Fiskar's. HF has a round hole so if you are trying to use it in an Olfa cutter, it will not perform.

I've noticed that HF blades don't work in my Martelli cutter, but they do work in my Olfa & Fiskars cutters. I've had 1 bad blade out of the 5 or 6 I've tried so far. That still makes the price ok for me!

I have not had problems either. Cut thru several layers at a time. Everytime we go to HF I buy a couple of packs so that I can share at our guild. Saving money on blades....well, more money for fabric. Hope you find a solution.

When I used a HF blade in the Olfa, it wobbled and would not cut precisely. Worked great in Martelli and Fiskar's....figure it :lol:

I've not had any trouble with mine. Mine cut through several layers of fabric. I used them yesterday to cut paper and that didn't even dull them.

Do you think it is just the blades that they are sending now that are not good?
How long ago were the good blades ordered?
maybe it is just this new batch of blades that are bad...
I just got mine this week and I ordered online, they didn't cut all that good...
don't know what to say on this as some say they are really good and others like me say they are having a problem with then....That's my luck ...LOL :D
