Hello. I just wanted some feedback on these blades. I plan to make some intricate jigsaw puzzles. Anyone use these?

I tried the Pegas blades a long time ago and didn't like the way they tracked. Have used FD blades from Mikes Workshop ever since.

Crispy,
Blades tend to be a very personal thing, everyone swears the brand they use are the best. I have used blades from most of the main brands FD, Olson, Pegas. I have never been able to follow a line with the FD 2/0 yet I really like the FD UR series and the FD 2/0 NEW spiral( when I use spirals) I have a few different Pegas blades and liked them but my work horse is the Olson 2/0 and 2.
I think they work best for me because that is what I became accustomed to using and naturaly compensate for their quirks.
Had I started with FD or Pegas I would probably say the same for them.
That said I think you need to spend some time with the different brands until you find the blades that YOU are comfortable with.

FD blades is all I use now, used a few Pegas blades and they burned to easy for me.
