It's getting time to get another blade. It used to be that Forrest

Can the one you have not be resharpened?

Yes and I'll have that done as soon as I get a new blade.

OK, just asking...

My recommendations would still hinge on what kind of work you do...

One can hardly go wrong w/ most any of the reasonable-quality
combination blades for general use. The really high-quality blades are
really only noticeable in difference for high-precision work.
(IMO, ymmv, $0.02, etc., etc., ...)

There was a review of quite a number in FWW a few(?) issues ago. As I
recall, the best overall blades weren't the highest-priced in their
evaluation of cut quality, but I don't recall the precise brand/models
that came out as "best". Perhaps a search at the FWW site might find
the review article although they seem to have put most of the archives
behind the "pay" portal...
