One of our members here is a retailer for Pegas. Artcraftersonline.com. You will get excellent service and the best pricing. He also will break down gross quantities and still give you gross pricing. Over $35 free shipping. You can't go wrong.

+1 for Artcraftersonline.. 

IF you're looking for one place to buy both brands you can go through Bearwood, Lesley's Patterns, Bushton Manufacturing ( RBI Hawk ). There is another place I have ordered from but can't think of it now.. I have ordered from all the places I mentioned above with good results other than Lesley's Patetrns.. they gave good service but they are sometimes slow at getting them out in the mail.. order well ahead of time if you go through them..

Hey Kevin, since you brought up Bushton's, when I bought that 226 Ultra, it came with 2 gross of #5 blades marked with the RBI brand name. Any idea who made them? Are they something that I might get some use out of?

Another source for Pegas blades that I have used with good service is Qtena.com. They are close to where I live so the service is fast but I'm not sure about their pricing at this time. I've switched my business to Denny Knappen.

They are most likely Olsen blades.. I had several packages of blades with my Ultra too when I unboxed it.. They were Olsen reverse tooth blades. They was the most common blades back in the mid 90's I think.  Bushton sells FD, Pegas, Pikes, and Olsen now I think.. so you have something to choose from.

The Wooden teddy bear has Olson blades and they are quick at sending them to  you I get them in about 3 days

[Puzzleguy]

i will get ahold of Danny -found his site , but it doesnt list a complete list of blade -

So ill call him ( have to decide on my blade purchase for 2022 )

The fellow I use to buy my Olsen blades from was in my bookmark folder

I ordered 5 different types of Olson blades from The Wooden Teddy Bear, Inc. on November 5th and they are scheduled for delivery today November 9th.

Pretty fast.

I source blades from Denny and Sawbird both excellent people to deal. I haven't tried the Olsen blades but hear they are very good as well

Almost month ago, I ordered Pegas blades from Lesley's Patterns through PayPal. They sent me a confirmation of the order, so I know they got it. Usually I get blades from them within a week, but I haven't received them yet. I wrote to them several times asking for a tracking number and confirmation that they shipped, but have not received any response. I've bought blades from them for years and never had a problem. It's a small order, but it's puzzling that they haven't responded. Has anyone had the same experience?

I guess I am late to this thread.  Denny if you are in the states.  For us in Canada I recommend Garnet Hall at Sawbird.  https://www.sawbird.com/scroll_saw_blades.htm

I have had a couple of negative transactions with Bearwood and usually discourage people for ordering there.

I would be happy to help with any Pegas order.  I usually get the orders out the next day.  If you have any questions message me.  The link to the website is on the signature.

I would be a supporter of The Wooden teddy Bear as they sell Flying Dutchman and Olson blades. Their service is top notch and they also have a very reasonable priced range of other items, hardware and patterns that would interest a scroll sawyer

Artcraftersonline for Pegas blades. Cannot be beat in my estimation. Wooden Teddy Bear for Olsen blades. Both have excellent service.
