discussion BLADES.

[MADTONY]

Me again , I really need some advice on blades for wood, do I just buy the most expensive
In the hope that they will be the strongest, sharpest and long lasting ?
Or is that being naive ?

What type of wood? eg: balsa, etc.
And what do you need to cut, eg: large pieces, small pieces, thin strips, etc?
For general thin Balsa I just use a scalpel type blade and it works fine. But any half decent hobby type knife would also work fine.

A Swan Morton scalpel. You can buy boxes of various types of blades reletively cheaply as well. They will keep you going for ages.
