pegas blades

[adrian broadhead]

hi all
I am doing a survey at the moment at work on the blades that we sell (pegas) I would like to know what people's opinions are of the quality of this brand compared to other brands such as the flying Dutchman blades.
myself I use both brands like everything they both have pros and cons.
thanks

Hi Adrian, I started using Pegas blades a few years back and found they were ok.
I only use FD blades now for two reasons: I done a lot of compound cutting and the Double Tooth blade ( I think) are better than the I think it's called something silver FD blades.
The other reason is cause Mikes FD blades only take two weeks (sometimes shorter ) to get to New Zealand.
Don't get me wrong Pegas blades are very good blades.

 I have used them and have a few left.  Good cutting but very brittle.

I used them for a while, but found they are harder to follow a line with as they tend to wander a fair bit, also they didn't keep their edge as long as an FD UR blade, so I went back to FD blades. Lastly Mikes Workshop can sell me a gross of blades cheaper than I can get them from my supplier over here and they get here quicker than my UK supplier can get them to me. (Mike's postal charges are cheaper too, he charges only $3 but my supplier over here has a standard ?4.99 delivery charge)
