edward mathias do as good as you will get..
clcik the advert on the home page and get the details.
speak to harry and mention were you got his details…

this is not a sales pitch due to them advertising on the site.
this is who i use and many from the site use…
i have used various blades for the last 14 years.. these have been the best & lowest priced.. i find they not only cut well but outlast the others 😉

Edward Mathias is cheaper than £35 for 5 blades? £35 Sounds very cheap to me. For some of our customer that’s 5 years supply!! 😆

oops.. no, sorry ed mathias isnt cheaper than that mate… 😕 sorry!
i meant that is who i use and recommend. if you buy cheaper than ed mathias then its going to be a re-sharpend knife. they dont last or cut as good..

most suppliers 99%, buy from a manufacturer or compaines like roland etc.
lets take roland.. if you buy from your supplier, he gets it from roland and roland gets it from someone like edward mathias.. by the time we get it.. prices are sky high.

mathias is 1 of only 2 i think!, manufacturers in the UK!

They not only sell you the blades but seal them in a bearing unit to stop the blade clogging, and preventing spinning. 😉

I spoke to Harry today, in fact he phoned me – must be psychic – nah, I emailed him last night!

Anyhoo, what a great bloke! Helped loads with advice on looking after my Summa plotter and then offered me blades at a price I WILL NOT refuse 😀 It turned out that I was buying his blades already from a distributor at a much inflated price.

Give him a go folks.
