I have some Craftsman Kromedge carbide 10" saw blades from the early 1980's that used to belong to my dad. They are in great shape, but are due for a sharpening if they are to be used for other than utility work. Trouble is, I don't know whether these are good enough to be worth the cost of sharpening. I am about to send my WWII to Forrest and was considering adding these Kromedge, but with shipping (both ways) they will cost about $25 each ( more for the 80 tooth plywood blade). If once sharpened they will be approximately as good as a $40 Frued it should be worthwhile. Otherwise I guess I would be better off buying new. What do you folks think - did Craftsman put out a quality blade in the early 80's or has the technology advanced to where fairly cheap current blades are better?
