Wow! I wish I could just go thru your trash and get all those blades that won't cut 8 layers. I'm happy with 4 and usually only do 2.

when the blade chews through the line instead of cutting it, i know it's time to toss it. :lol:

I just bought mine while on vacation in March. Could hardly wait to get home to try it out. I ordered it while I was at my sons and had it sent to my home. So, I had to explain to him that I wasn't wanting to leave to get away....just had a new toy at home!
I don't think Patrice mentioned, but these do sharpen, 28, 45, and 60's!!! At least I think that is the right sizes.

I love mine, not factory sharp, but definitely extends the life! I buy mine by the lots on eBay as well!

I'm just piling up my old blades as I cull them. Maybe I need to get one of these puppies. Or, I could just send them to you. Do you take work In? hehehee!!

Well, I can easily see that I am the laziest of all...I have never sharpened a blade :shock:...I cut and toss..cut and toss....better not tell DH that I'm throwing away things I don't like again :roll: Seems to be the easiest solution to me...no not the smartest, but then I never admitted to being the smartest! :oops:

You beat me to it. My son bought me the Grace Company one for Mother's Day and I love it. I was going to post it here but haven't had a chance to get a picture of it. I think it is well worth the money.
