Yes, I get a lot of use out of each of these blades, I still have many new ones yet.Jax wrote:I tried the blade and it did cut clean but I tried the "ball" method and it did sharpen my dull blade. Liked not having to peel aluminum foil off the matte.
I'm going to try that site someone suggested. $25 for 10 blades is not a bad price with shipping included.

If you take a ball off aluminum foil and stab the blade in it... it will sharpen the bladeJax wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2011 10:51 am I've heard of people saying that using "tin foil" or "aluminum foil" on their cutter actually sharpens blades. I just ran some in my Cricut Expression just to see if it works...I set up a bunch of symbols on the page and hit cut...just wondering if anyone uses a specific template of lines or just cut a bunch of stuff. Also it was a real pain to get the foil off of the matte.
I've attached a picture of the template I used for blade sharpening...we'll see if it worked on my next project.
