I pay $12 to $16 a blade and use them up to a month.. (I cut tons of pen
and
bowl blanks)

I've never cleaned one as it would not be worth my time or money..


Don't know what you're cutting, but green, corrosive woods will eat the
sharpness off a blade real fast. Not to mention that a bit of lube helps
turn the corners, too.

never had anything that looked like corrosion.. not sure what kind of wood would
do that...
I spend about $10 a month on blades, which I can live with..
