I am a couturiere and I teach sewing; my preferred cutting tool is the rotary cutter. I use top quality tools when I sew; they are key both to my high-end results, and to my enjoyment of the process. Alphafix provided me with a sample of their rotary cutting blades in exchange for a unbiased review of their product. For this review, I compare their blades against the Olfa blades that I have used in the past.Short answer: These blades are great, and they are now my go-to blade. Now for the details:Packaging: They come in a convenient container that is easy to open and close; it safely stores your supply of blades (even if you throw it in a random bin of stuff).Thickness of blade: Often, a lower-priced product is thinner than the name-brand version. I got out my micrometer (doesn’t everyone have one??) and checked; the Alphafix blades are the same thickness as the Ofla blades.Markings: Markings on the Alphafix blades are easier to see than the ones on the Olfa blades.Fit: The Alphafix blade fit with no issue in my Olfa cutter.Use: Very impressed by sharpness and quality of the Alphafix blade. If anything, the Alphafix blade is better than the Olfa blades I have been using.Only downside: Right out of the package, the blades have a slight oiliness to them. This might seem like a bad thing, but it is actually good. The thin layer of oil on them keeps them from corroding while in storage and also keeps them from sticking together. Be aware that your new blade is going to have a thin layer of oil on it, and use one of your random scraps of fabric to wipe it off (carefully!) before you get it near your fine fabrics.Price: You do the math. Alphafix wins.Conclusion: Alphafix has my business in the future. I always felt gouged every time I bought rotary cutter blades. It is such a delight to be able to get quality rotary cutting blades for a price that feels fair.

These blades are very sharp, perfectly fit the Olfa rotary cutter and the price is very affordable. I will continue to buy these instead of the olfa blades. I can certainly tell a difference in them.

I bought the 45 and 60 sizes for Fiskers and Olfa rotary cutters. I’ve had no trouble with fitting or cutting. I also like the plastic cases that contain the blades. The price, very reasonable.

I buy these instead of the REALLY expensive blades. They work well! I have bought them multiple times...also for gifts to quilters and they were received well. Will continue to purchase as needed!
