have used http://stores.ebay.co.uk/bladestock2010 on ebay pack of 5 blades for my cutter £9.99 delivered, ordered at 2pm here in the post next morning, some companies try and charge so much for blades so i thought i would put the sellers details up.

Thanks Mrs M for the link. Please let us know how long they last. I get through about 6 to 10 blades a year at 13€ each. If these last a couple of weeks and do very small text then they are a bargain.

I've been using 'fleabay' sourced blades for a while now and compared to the other 'sources' at around £30 for 5 these are just as good. At the price you pay on fleabay it's much less of a financial decision to change blades rather than trying to get the last bit of cutting through to ease the pain. Highly recommended.

i get through a few blades and this is my 3rd pack from them, i always re-order when i have 2 left - (dont ask why i have no idea lol)

i have not noticed these last any shorter than the £30 ones, i keep a spare holder with a blade in for vehicle vinyl as i find that helps, so i swap holders, i probably change every 2/3 months depending on what vinyl i am cutting i have found that a worn blade is not so friendly on the 123 flex, and you get some very odd words being cut lol, and at a tenner posted, i am more than happy with these

For blades it just has to be Edward Mathias & Co - speak to Harry

I agree John, super blades from Harry. Mine lasted twice as long as the originals and cut much better.

Hi Mrs Maggot, As you buy from this ebay seller, do you have his direct address so I can go straight to him and save him the ebay costs?
He`s so cheap its worth a try.

Thanks

If they are a business seller, their contacts on normally at the bottom left of the ebay listing - address, email and tel number.

just had a very frustrating few days with the blades I bought from this link!
We use graphtec and i swapped over last friday, since then just little niggles and a few bad corners, today I cut a few lines of glitter FX flex, and the blade went blunt letter by letter!
The first line was good, next line thinner, next line torn, next line not cut at all, jjst scratched!
I know foil/glitter takes it hard on the blade, but this is terrible!
The blades might be cheap, but I think they are rubbish!
The cutting strip is just about new, no sore or scratch line, and all else remains constant.
Any other feedback on these ?
Phil

A bit misleading there John ( Stitch UP) . I too bought from the first link http://stores.ebay.co.uk/bladestock2010 and sadly agree with Logobear, they dont cut very well at all.

But blades from Edward Mathias are brilliant http://www.edwardmathias.com/

Sorry, it was the ebay shop Bladestock2010 - turns out they sent me 60degree blades when I ordered 45degrees.
To their credit they replied to my ebay message pretty fast, wonder what they will do about it, - wasted many hours and media trying to weed the badly cut, even changed my cutting strip!
will report back!
