As for myself, I have the exact same knife/blade combo. However not wanting to argue the fact, but when I got through making 5 or 6 swipes on 12' lengths of aluminum, and after having cut 6, 12' sections, the blade ( Special Tungsten Steel ) it showed wear, and needed replacement. When a new blade was finally installed, it was if I had a brand new knife. The original post mentioned a blade with a " carbide insert " so that is why I was willing to go the extra mile with a second cutter, thinking that it might be even better then the first.
