Good brand of jointer knives on Amazon?

[Bergie]

Good morning,

Do any of you know of a good brand of jointer knives on Amazon? I tried to support my two local retailers (Rockler and Woodcraft) and both proved to be disappointing (not only in selection, but service).

Thanks,
Bergie

 I use Holbren tool for jointer knives I consider these the best not only for life but also the best  bang for the buck 

Additionally you get a 10% discount from Brian as a woodnet member

Joe, if you don't mind me asking, did you go with steel or carbide-tipped?

I've found knives (or about any steel for that matter) made in China is NG.

The sharpening service I use makes their own planer blades.  I splurged for a set for my planer ($125 for 4- 20" knives) and have to say they seem to be lasting A LOT longer than the set I got from Grizzly.  The also give a discount on sharpening if you buy their knives.

I use steel because I don't mind swapping knives and they are easily resharpened

+1 for Brian.  I bought his Titan brand  ( I think it was before the V2 version that he currently sells ) for my Jet combination J P, and I think the Titan's last much longer than the stock Jet blades.
