Skife Blades: any difference between the black ones from Tandy and the silver ones from Osborne?

[esantoro]

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the black skife blades from Tandy and the silver skife blades from C.S. Osborne?

All the dimensions are the same between the two. Does one hold an edge better than the other, or is there really no difference at all?

Hi... there is a difference. Osborne costs more, and will last you longer, but you can buy others for less than Tandy charges, and much less than Osborne charges, and get better quality.

Hi... THe osborne ones are better, but you can buy ones that are just as good, and that cost less than either osborne or tandy. Springfield leather
