Check EBay.  I got a screaming deal on 60mm blades from an EBay vendor & they regularly post.  The vendor had a "buy it now" option, so that's how I purchased them. The price from Hancock's sound pretty good though.PaulineNorthern California

Thanks Pauline, I have ordered from Hancocks plus a sharpener (now tosearch out the best place for replacements!!) - I checked out the EBaystores and have found one who sells generic 45mm blades with only$2.50 postage to Canada regardless of the number of blades ($1.00 inUS) ... I'll consider using him when I run out of the stash that Ihave accumulated from years past.  My corner fabric store used to sellblades for only a couple of dollars and those were the times when Iliterally emptied the shelves of their stock!  jennellhe

Just remember that generic blades have a tendency to wear out faster than brand name ones. They are made from a different kind of steel, as I recall. Check LP Sharp, they are a small company that used to resharpen blades. Actually they still do, but now they exchange your old blades for new ones for a modest fee. They have a bit on the difference between generic and Olfa blades. Prices are not bad either, especially if you have a few people to share the cost of a bigger order.

NAYY, not even used the company but have heard good things about them.

I read all the info, Pati but this company only deals in the US.  Ifthegeneric blades are maintained with a little sewing machine oil andthe handle is de-linted, etc. I've found that they do last quite along time.  jennellhsage
