For all of you flat bladers who like reverse you are going to love Mike's newest blade the ultra reverse.  Mike sent me a sample to try out
over a month ago but being loyal to my 2/0 reverse Olsens.   I was very hesitant to try a new blade much less a 5.  While this blade was bigger than what I needed it for today, I did use it for the larger parts I was cutting.  The blade doesn't drift, it stays on the line.  It leaves the bottom and top clean and smooth.  It also lasted thru the cutting and still has life in it, I was only stack cutting 2 bb ply but cut thru it like nothing. It reminded me of my car with rack and pinion steering.  I never ever thought I would change blades but this one has sold me.  Mike when you get the smaller sizes Please Please let me know as I would like to buy several sizes.

      If you got your sample I would highly recommend trying them, I know you will be impressed with ease of cutting.  I hope Mike sees this and will share the other information about them.  Thanks Mike sure do appreciate the sample.

Thank you for sending the samples, I have about 2 hours of fretwork cutting in red oak 3/4" on one blade and the dang thing hasn't shown any stress so far. That's the FD-UR blade.

I ran short this week and bought some blades at local hardware store and they were the pits compared to Flying Dutchman blades, I used over a dozen just cutting out 3 pieces of frett work. Dutchman blades are far better than any other I used.

I finally ordered some more blades. It's been a long while since I ordered from you, but the blades just last too long. I still have about 3 dozen left from the last time. On projects where I used to go through 3 - 5 blades, I now use 1.

I am so spoiled now! I can't imagine having to use any other blades. Not only are they sharp (and stay sharp), I have broken only 2 of the FD blades. And that was MY fault for trying to finish a couple of projects with a blade that I was too lazy to change and was rushing to complete the last couple of cuts.

Of late I've tried Pegas, some Olsons (a sampling of PGT), and I keep coming
back to the FD's. I suppose that is, at least in part, due to the fact that
in the last month or so since I got my DeWalt that I've been doing a lot of
cutting, mostly with FD.

Mike,

I had some of your blades sent to me in New Zealand recently and they are "bloody" wonderful. On the strength of your recommendation for Hegner saws I to have bought one. This, coupled with your superior blades has made my work a lot easier.

Mike;
I received my complete order last Tuesday and was very surprised at the rather prompt delivery! I want to thank you for your "personal, prompt attention" to my order. Being a businessman myself, I really appreciate the level of service I have received with Mikes Workshop.

Hi Mike,

I just sent you an online order for some more blades and some of the drill bits. As I said earlier these blades have really taken my sawing to a new level. Thanks again and have great T-day!

Hi Mike, Wow, I'm convinced. These are awesome blades. Thanks for the samples. I was using a #3 reverse tooth Olson blade and switched to the Flying Dutchman Reverse tooth #3 that you sent me. I could not believe the difference. It was as if I'd been given a better scroll saw not just a blade change. It cut through the plywood like warm butter and I was able to actually guide the wood with no effort or force. I was amazed at how easy scrolling can be with the right blade.

Hello Mike,
I received the sample blades you sent, and I have to tell you that I have tried quite a few different suppliers of blades over the past ten years, from Olson, Delta, Vermont American and a few others. But I have never seen or used any blades that performed as well as The Flying Dutchman blades.
