Yessir, that was money well spent. I got mine from Micro-Mark and it has been awhile since I bought a new pack of blades.

I just sharpen the dozens >that I have. A retired professional modelmaker gave a show and tell at the local club meeting. His demo was how to cut styrene sheets to dimension. He made an excellent cutting jig out of plexiglass that enables square cuts to be made. The jig allowed for styrene the edge to be squared with good precision using a small wood plane. I made a similar jig the moment I got home. Before and after using the knife he hones it against a glued-on strip of fine wet and dry sandpaper. I find this an excellent practice as it keeps my blades sharp as a regular practice. If there is any nick or ding on the cutting edge it is removed before it becomes a problem. > is finding a fresh pack of number 11 blades. No, happiness is finding another tin of lager when you thought you'd already drunk the last one. Misery is discovering there's no more lager when you thought you had at least one tin left in the fridge.

Happiness is also discovering that I can go to the IPMS Nats after all. Bought more Disney Travel Club points at a very reduced price on the cruise. The only thing preventing attendance at the NATS was hotel expenses. Now I can stay at the Disneyland Hotel for points and have plenty of cash for the NATS. Even happier is having no less than six models to enter. That's twice as many than have ever entered before.
