I haven't seen that particular "toy," but at the last quilt show I went
to, there was a man who brought his equipment and sharpened blades while
you roamed through the show. A friend had seven sharpened at a cost of
$2.50 a blade (I think). She's happy with them, but she doesn't think
they last quite as long as a new, out-of-the-package blade.
I got one package of blades from Harbor Freight. They work as well as
the Olfa at about 1/6th the price. They have been out of stock for a
couple of months when I have been there. Guess we aren't the only
quilters who found them

I have heard of people who buy blades from Harbor Freight at a
ridiculously low price. I think the blades are sold as carpet cutting
blades, but they fit in our rotary cutters. I haven't heard any
follow-up on the purchases, so I figure they must work okay. You know
we'd hear about them if they didn't!
