OLFA 45mm Rotary Cutter Replacement Blades, 5 Blades (RB45-5) - Tungsten Steel Circular Rotary Fabric Cutter Blade for Quilting, Sewing, Crafts, and Scrapbooking Fits Most 45mm Rotary Cutters

I sew a lot, and I use a rotary cutter and mat to cut out my pattern pieces. Heres my review of these blades. Positives: Can cut through whatever fabric with ease (while it stays sharp) Provides clean cuts The sharpness of the blade lasts longer than you would think it would (several months) Negatives: None, really, except a caution to be careful with these blades, as they are extra sharp

I live in the country so its about a 12 mile drive to the closest place to get replacement blades. Not a far drive but inconvenient when you are in the middle of a project. These blades were delivered quickly and are perfect for my needs. Will definitely order again as needed. Great price too.

Us the OLFA wheels if you cutting fabric that is difficult to work with or you want accuracy. You will need a large rubber pad for cutting so you can lay your fabric out flat. The only way to go. Harriete

I have now tried 2 out of the 5 blades and both of them have places that do not always cut. Most of the time I have to go back over those spots. The whole idea of putting in a new blade is to get a clean cut first time. Its not like Im cutting multiple layers or anything difficult. This happens when trying to cut a single layer of quilters cotton

I like the blades and use them for quilting. They work well for me and seem to be better than other brands.

Great blades. I would recommend to use with an OLFA rotary cutter. The blades are round and extremely sharp. Trying to cut without a handle will be dangerous and most likely not make accurate cuts. Please spend the extra few dollars for a handle and keep your fingers.

Just slide a blade sideways to separate it from the others, then wipe the oil off. Careful, super sharp!!

Im a quilter and I ordered two 5-packs of these 45-mm blades and Im very happy with them. This was basically half price what blades normally cost and while mine stay sharp for awhile, I like to keep replacement blades on hand. These are in sealed 5-pack containers, just the same as they are sold at JoAnns or Hancock Fabrics. I usually only use my rotary cutters for cotton quilting fabrics so they last a long time. If you are cutting paper, leather or otherwise hard or thick materials, they will work fine, they just wont last as long as when used only for cutting thin cotton fabric.

Arrived on time in perfect condition.

These blades are easy to replace. Amazing how much better a sharp blade cuts through layers of fabric. I always keep a supply on hand.
