To be honest I haven't had it long enough to comment on its durability but this blade was definitely very well made and I almost don't have one doubt it will last long. good long time. The seemingly solid and precise craftsmanship that goes into making this tool allows for quick, clean, smooth and quiet cuts, even in tight turns. I should have gone to Timberwolf many years ago. I spent a full 4 hours carving solid guitar bodies out of mahogany, alder and a black walnut wood - and the Timberwolf blade exceeded my expectations in every case - definitely lives up to the expectations. I read all the rave reviews before purchasing. The cut is so good that I've been running random cuts through the saw for the last 15 minutes just for fun. Very happy with the purchase, delivery was ridiculously fast - faster than advertised by 2 days. I look forward to purchasing 2 more Timberwolf blades (1/2" and 3/4") in the next few days and would not consider buying them from any other seller. Period. A+++. Stop reading the reviews - just buy this blade. You won't regret it for a second.
