[Histonet] Grossing blades

[Douglas Porter]

I have experienced the same issue off and on.  I think there are bad lot numbers on occasion.  Perhaps you could get them to exchange them for a different lot?  I am also suspect that some companies have started using inferior metal that just won't hold an edge as long.  Just like microtome blades, sometimes you just get a bad box.  Good luck and happy cutting.

Our pathologists use the double edge blades (Pathco) and recently have been complaining about them being dull. Anyone else experiencing this?
