Can anyone tell me why I can buy Flying Dutchman blades at about 3 and change a dozen and super sharp blades are 9.95 dozen. are they that much better?

Bob, I've used FD blades for a long time now and have never turned back. Can't say about the PS blades, but @ 80 cents/blade, I would have to give up scrollin'! Check with Barb Raymond, she's a scroller, or other members of SWWA. BTW, welcome to LJs.

I was going to answer without checking because I thought you meant a table or circular saw blade. Glad I checked first.

It looks like the tough part is how long they last, although since I didn't buy the bosses scroll saw, I don't do that.

The best I can tell you is that using a 1/8" blade on my band saw lasts about 2 hours, no matter what brand, (2hours total).
