    Does anyone use Mozart or floorfit blades. I just use the standard blades, Sweeney Todd or similar, but especially when doing Karndean I’m going through a huge amount of blades and just wondered if it’s worth paying the extra for one of the more expensive brands.

    Floor fit hook blades are much better than standards. Never bother with expensive concave or straights

    I rate the Floorfit blades, both straight and super hooks.
    I find they last a lot longer than the standard ones.

    Thanks for the reply’s, I’ll stick to the standard blades. Think I was getting seduced by the little plastic boxes they come in:D

    When I first started, we used to sharpen the blades on a stone, one blade would probably last all week

    Keep trying different straights from cheap to expensive, always end up going back to sweeney todd.
