Like others have mentioned, I have heard they dull fast too which why I felt there was a market for something better between the factory knives and our carbide tipped ones being they sold over 50,000 planers.
I too remember 735 knife life being an issue some years ago. There have been fewer complaints recently leading to speculation that DeWally is selling better blades than when they first came out. Or maybe people have just accepted that factory knives suck
. I've seen nothing to support either position except forum hearsay.
