amazingkevin Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 They have a bevel on the end of the blade for easy insertion to pilot holes in wood.They are very soft and you can bend them very easy and not break them.I like the pointed end but they don't hold up very long at all compared to the "Flying Dutchman's blades.Both ends have the bevel.

rjR Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 They might be Olsen; The O blades I use are angle cut on both ends and seem semi-flexible in the thin sizes. I do seem to have good blade life. But, I ALWAYS use a wax and the clear tape trick on any except very short cuts! I have used various blades over the years; and as my local supplier sells Olsen, those are the ones I now use the most! I do not even consider "box store" blades-- why pay as much for 3 as you can get a dozen for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I have used some like that but I haven't bought any blades other than flying Dutchman in years and they were in a bag I had put old unknown blades. So I guess i am saying I have not clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Scroller Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I agree with Len. Olson PGT (Precision Ground Tooth) blades have pointed ends like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneMahler Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Kevin I have a few like that. I got them from Judy Gail Roberts. They go by the name Online. Did not like them compared to FD. They fit the description you gave. Just another opinion. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I use Olsons blades 995 of the time and that is what your blades look lie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Kevin, the right answer to your question, is that they are yours. You own them,so logic says that they're yours. All of the Olson blades that I've used and are shaped like these, were very nice blades to use. The only reason I stopped using them, was the expense. Plus, I had started selling Flying Dutchman at the time. The Olson blades cut nice and leave a nice edge, they lasted a very long time, and I hardly ever had any of them break. So, maybe these aren't Olsen blades, considering how you described them. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I don't see where the olsons blades are expensive, maybe 10cent per blade, but they last longer than any other blade i have ever used including F.D. blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
