    Default Titanium vs. tungsten blades

    If you have used both the titanium and the tungsten rotary cutter blades, how do you compare the two of thleem?
    Where is a reasonably priced source for these blades?

    I have titanium scissors and I have used the titanium cutter blade. I love them. I have not used the tungsten rotary cutter blades so I can't compare. Will be watching this thread to see what others think. BrendaK

    I really like the titanium blades, very sharp and last a long time. I got mine at Joanns with a 50 percent off coupon so they were very reasonable

    Ditto! Hubby talked me into trying them.

    I also prefer the titanium blades and think they last quite a bit longer than the others. Have you signed up to get Joann's coupons through the mail? You can also get one coupon per week texted to your phone. I buy the blades every time I get a coupon or they go on 40-50% off sale...well, not every time...but I sure have a lot of spare blades in that drawer!

    I was teaching a friend to rotary cut this afternoon, with a slightly dull blade - not terrible, but skipping a bit. Made me a bit nervous, but she being a cool, calm, internationally known health physicist had no trouble. She didn't want any help making the pillow cover, either - needed to think about it "her own way" and did a great job! I'm slowly dragging her to the quilt side...

    I love the titanium blades and buy them at Joann's on sale or Hobby Lobby for 40% off. They last a LOT longer.
