SOMOLUX 18mm Rotary Cutter Refill Blades 5 Pcs for OLFA Rotary Circle Cutter, Fiskars Replace Blades for Crafts Quilting Scrapbooking Sewing

These blades last and the price is good. I go through a lot of rotary blades doing custom upholstery. I will continue to buy these.

Took a chance, and I couldn't be happier. So far I've used one blade to cut out over 36 face masks, 36 linings, and 72 pieces of interfacing— that's 80+ yards of cuts, I did the math— and the blade is still plenty sharp. I usually cut four layers of fabric at a time, and 6-8 layers of interfacing at a time. Nothing but perfect clean cuts so far. I'd say these are 100% as good as Olfa and Fiskars blades, only much cheaper. Note that they come liberally coated in oil to prevent rust, so you have to be careful when handling them, and clean them off before use (*very* carefully). I use rubbing alcohol or acetone, it comes right off. In short, these blades are great, and the price can't be beat. I'll happily buy again… whenever I run out of these, which apparently is gonna be a while! Five stars— and I don't say that often. ___ Oh, and: Handles for 28mm blades can be hard to find. I use [[ASIN: B077Y6H5BK OLFA perforation cutter 28 235B]]. It comes with a perforating blade, just replace that with one of these and you're good to go.

Nice and sharp

They are far cheaper than those in the store and work good.

Here's the thing - if you cut fabric and you're a bit of a klutz and sometimes you put the edge of the blade against a hard object like a cutting guide, you will chip the blade, and it won't cut right, and you'll be really annoyed. Titanium blade, which I was using in the past, are more gentle towards user error. These blades are not. For the price, they work well, come out of the package sharp, and can cut through multiple layers of fabric like whoa. But they're not as long lasting as other options, so it depends how much sewing you do and what your priorities are. I use it on my Fiskars cutter, where they fit nicely after I clean off the oil residue on the blades from shipping.

These arrived on time and the first one is working fine; I haven’t had any problems. Can’t speak to longevity as I have only had them for a few days. As to the complaints from others about the oil on the blades, I didn’t find it to be an issue when cutting and figured it was to keep the blades from oxidizing while unused. Certainly a much better price than the name brand blades! Update: the first one was fine, as noted above. However, the second blade was sharpened unevenly and would not cut through both fabric layers every few inches. The same was true for the next several. This was so frustrating that I ended up getting a manufacturer”s blade. I took all of the blades from this batch to a knife sharpener, who had said some of the blades seemed to bind or stick on their cutter. Nevertheless, the blades are definitely sharper now., but it ended up costing me 3times the money it would have if I’d just bought an expensive blade in the first lace.

I have been using these blade for cutting my quilt fabric for years.

I've started using rotary cutters recently & because they can be hard to find at the moment, gave this one a try & I'm glad I did. I've used it for several projects & am still on the same blade. It cuts well with no skips. And it is very sharp. I would recommend the use of cut resistant gloves if you're as accident prone as I am. These have the added bonus of coming with replacement blades which is rare for most cutters. As for the oil some people have written about, all cutters have that including Olfa. So that's normal. You can wipe it off. Just do it very carefully. In my opinion this rotary cutter is every bit as good as Olfa & Fiskars. If the need arises I would buy it again. And probably will buy the replacement blades. It's a great cutter at an excellent price.

Sharp and easy to use with any make of Rotary cutter

Should of bought this years ago! Makes work so much quicker and easier. Easy to use and super sharp. Definitely reccomend.

Perfect

Die Klingen sind sehr scharf und gut geölt. Sie passen problemlos auf unterschiedliche Rollschneider.

To me , nothing beats an olfa. However, these were cheaper and I decided I'd try them out. I abuse my rotary cutter as is , so I figured I might as well get the cheap ones. They seem to work just fine. Probably go dull a bit faster than the Brand name ones, but for the price, I'm fine with that. I've cut through some pretty thick leather so far with these, and most, if not all errors have been operator caused. These blades work just fine. I don't mind there being oil on them . That's to prevent abrasion in the pack and rust so by all means, keep them oiled . It's nothing to wipe them off prior to installing.
