I've read mentions of them in many places. Never a bad word and we'll respected from what I can tell. I'm looking forward to giving them a workout!
You cant go wrong with Ridge blades. I’ve used them for some time now, have several. I also send them back to Ridge for sharpening.
Is that part of the purchase price Tom or just a service they offer? Ballpark, do you know the cost of sharpening a single blade?
Let us know what you think of them after using them for awhile.I've read mentions of them in many places. Never a bad word and we'll respected from what I can tell. I'm looking forward to giving them a workout!
I’m operating from a weak memory here, Doug, but I got my first Ridge blade at a wood working show and I think sharpening was included, maybe via a coupon. Just pay shipping. They were in NJ then but have moved to the Midwest I think. Don’t recall exactly where. Have to pay for sharpening now but it’s less than the shipping cost if I remember. $20 maybe? I have a pricing sheet in the shop I’ll dig up.
Ridge Carbide is now located in Kansas.
