Review on 🔪 Freud DS1203CP3 Diablo 12 Inch Carbide Pruning Reciprocating Blade (Pack of 3) by Sean Flint

First I bought these Revain 12 inch pruning knives, supplied by Revain Prime. I saw this pack of blades for about $3 off with no prime shipping and ordered them as I still had the blade from the original pack of three. When I opened the first package I was immediately struck by the color and finish of the blades - almost perfect to use. When I opened the second package I thought something was wrong. The screen printing on the blades is poor or non-existent in places. The three blades aren't even red the same. one is darker than the other two, and I don't think any of the three are trademark Diablo Red. I've compared it to another Diablo blade I have, brand new - and the difference is in the quality of the finish day and night. I noticed that suspicious blades are marked "Made in USA" when the blade I used as a comparison is marked "Made in Switzerland". Haven't used these blades yet so can't comment on how they cut but can say they don't feel as sharp as my broken blades which have been used quite a bit. I use these blades for cutting and trimming hardwoods for firewood and they are amazing.
