Bacho hack saw blades are top quality!
As for the stanley knife I just use stanley blades.
The irwin ones do look good though. _________________

I know you are after blades, but just thought I would chuck a knife in ...
Bought one of these a while ago and it is very nice to use - much better to hold and safer as well if your hands get a bit wet.
Takes standard blades as well

Eclipse hacksaw blades, what the RN issued, still have a stock of them after 20+ years.
Knife blades have a pack of 100 from Draper, last firm supplied.
Like the look of that knife Hoovie.
