I was hesitant to buy this after reading reviews of dullness or badly sharpened edges but mine seems good. I used it to cut some holes in some Ikea countertops so it wouldn't cut through hardwood. However, the cuts were clean and the blade still feels as sharp as it was when purchased. I bought another one in a different size and it was similar so I would probably choose this brand again if I needed a Forstner bit. Cut a clean hole but the material is Ikea chipboard so it's difficult to get a clean cut.
