Dull Cutter Blades
Have any of you ever had problems with the carpet replacement blades for cutters? I bought 10 of them. I opened four of them and all four are so dull. Am I doing something wrong or do some blades come less than sharp sometimes? I will try some of the other blades to see if they will cut. I bought them from Harbour Freight.

Send them back with a complaint. I've been getting my carpet blades from Harbor Freight for a long time, and I've always gotten super sharp blades, sharper than anything else I could buy. This must be a mistake, as I know other quilters who always get their blades from Harbor Freight, and are always pleased. You got a bad batch, that's all. Have them replaced, then see how you like them.

I second this! Just be SUPER careful when you try to get them apart! I have more trouble with these on my white Dritz mat than on my green Olfa one.
