Just wondering what everyone's opinion on who makes the better shaving blade and what makes it better than the others in your opinion. All do all manufatures use the same arbor size and bolt hole pattern?
Thanks to everyone who respondes.

Being relatively new in the business, I started trying to save a couple of bucks by buying one of the 11 inch blades offered by one of the leading supply companies for $49.95. BIG MISTAKE! Blade had a wobble from the start that all the recommedations here couldn't fix. It now resides in a dusty box in my supply room. Your best bet is probably ordering blades from one of the commercial tanneries that sell them. They have much more experience with them and carry better quality. I'm sure there are different arbor sizes and bolt patterns available but most I have seen are the 1 inch arbor and standard 4 bolt pattern that most commercial machines use.
call Bill at Raw Hide he has very good blades, he supplies many tanneries or call me for his number (705)476-0483
