How about the manufacturer? suffolkmachinery.com. If you've been
following recent posts here, though, it seems like a lot of people are
unhappy with their quality control recently. You might want to look at
recent archives (within the last few weeks, I think) before your
purchase.

Timberwolf blades suck!
Why pay more when you can get cheaper and better blades?

I bought a 1/2" one once at a wood show. Put it on, used it once, took
it off and never used it again. Do yourself a favor and get a "Wood
Slicer" instead...makes the Timber Wolf look like a dull hatchet.

I ended up on the home page. Gasp, choke. The first thing I saw on the web site was a $250
tomahawk. $250 for a tomahawk???? Excuse me, a British Trade Axe. Wow. Go here:

No affiliation with H&B, just a satisfied customer flinging the same Shawnee hawk for 25+ years and
Lord knows how many replacement handles. Great product, hand made, $38.

Nice saw blades, though, and a very nice shop apron.

I've taken to calling their 800 number. Half of the time when I go to
woodcraft or rocklers I can't find blades I want for my saw. They may
have the right length but not the right blade for my application.
Buying from suffolk I usually get them in maybe 3 days and they keep
track of what I have purchased. Most other manufactures don't deal
directly with customers so if you want a blade for your saw you have to
wait for Rocklers or woodcraft to get them
The only problem I've had with my timber wolf blades is when I do
something stupid like use the wrong blade for the application like try
to cut a thick bowl blank with a fine toothed blade
PS some people like suffolk, some like lenox, or olson I even know one
guy that swears by grizzly blades. When reading postings on the rec
always keep a salt shaker handy.
