    .

    Not rotary blades, no. I just replace those. I do get my scissors sharpened. I've yet to hear a single positive story about sharpening rotary blades & they're really not that expensive on Amazon (WAY cheaper than a trip to the ER).

    I'm much better about doing this since I bought the Olfa quick change cutter. I always had trouble changing blades on the old style and would put up with a dull blade rather than try to change it.

    Sometimes I will turn the blade over and get a little more use. I know I'm cheap. LOL
