OK, just looked at the ad. The blades are $169 for 100. THEN they would throw in the Olfa handle which has a Retail Price of $20.95. It's not $20.95 for the blades & handle.
Scroll down to see ad and read carefully:

I don't think that is right. I buy blades all the time from jhittle & they are 10 for $18.??. Not 100 of them. I do like the blades really well so I stock up when I place an order with them. They last me a long time. Much better than HF. In my opinion anyways.

-also, they say in red that these blades do NOT fit Martelli or clover cutters, then on the next line they say they do. I would worry that this ad is placed by non-english speaking people, who may or may not be legit. If you are willing to pay $2.50 (approx) per blade just to get a $7-10 cutter, have at it. Not a very good deal if you ask me....

1. the generic blades from jhittle are at least as good as name brand blades. i've been using the 45mm blades for ages.
2. jhittle sells two types of generic blades. one will fit martelli ("fiskars type"); the other ("olfa type") will not. just pay close attention to which you order.
3. the two different styles sell for two different prices. the more you buy, the lower the per-blade price.
