Sandvik for me, I did buy a couple of "Irwin Xpert" and they were rubbish.

What to watch aswell is you get some blades designed for green wood and some for bone dry/dead wood, make sure you get the right one!

 

Thans mate - I'm using 'green' blades for greenwood. The Stanley blade is supposedly for 'green' wood and it does have the traditional design I'm familiar with. It is utterly, unspeakably, useless. Its so bad that if I'd paid 10p for it I'd want my money back:thumbdown: It just wants to bend and bounce of the wood instead of biting. Imterestingly the teeth seem much larger than other blades I've used of the same size.

I only tend to use a Silky Natanoko for all my hand cutting jobs.
