Yea i heard they have gotten better as for as the quality.
People used to have to throw out 50 percent of those blades they bought.
now heard it's down to 10 percent. a much better ratio.
people have said they heat treat them better. so for dirt cheap you get a blade to practice pining and un pining.
customize it. and to pratice engaving if some one fancy doing those things.
it's a good blade to go to town on with the dremel tool thing.
