I have had no problems with them in my rotary cutters. No skipping or anything. Sometimes that happens if there are two blades in by accident.

But mine skipped right out of the pkg (for one) and after about half a quilt worth (lap size quilt) of cutting for the other. On the other hand, I had cut at least 5 lap quilts plus other small projects with the old fiskars one I had in my cutter.

Maybe if harbor freight was local for me I'd be more willing to keep trying but it's an hour away and not anywhere near any shops that I usually go to.

They're very good, or the ones I've had have been.

My daughter asked if there was anything I wanted I couldn't get around here, and I told her Harbor Freight blades.

They came today, 10 packages of 2 each!!! Love them!!

And I have the best kids, they actually listen to me!

One pack I got looked like it had been opened and taped shut. But it still cut quite a few pieces before giving me grief.

I haven't had any problems, seem to be just as sharp and last as long as the "name brand" blades.

If no one has answered this for you yet, they are NOT Rotary Blades. They are 'Carpet Blades' for their carpet cutters. 2 in a package and 3 in with the carpet cutter handle. For the price I can toss 3 if they don't last as long and use the 4th forever. I bought 10 packages a few months ago and I am still working on the second package I opened. I dropped my cutter and put a nick in one right after putting it in the cutter, but didn't feel bad tossing it....
