Olson blades

[stevebuk]

i was recently sent a set of Olson blades to try by a friend in canada, i was cutting one particular piece using my usual FD blades but for some reason i was struggling with them, seemed like they were not that sharp, however i fixed in one of the olson blades and i was amazed how easy it cut through and didn't seem to be as rough.
Think i will give these some more testing..

But.. but

What Olson blade and was your usual FD ?

I'm a FD New Ultra Reverse convert ...

Comparing FD-UR 5 against the Olson 5R the FD wins

I hope you did not have the blade up-side down. Most have told me that the UR blades are more aggressive.

definitely didn't have the blade upside down, i've used your blades so many times before, not sure if it was a bad set or not but the olson #3 definitely cut better on this occasion..
