Chipper Blades!

Zenith chipper blades work great for me. There customer service is wonderful. Treeman82 see what I wrote about Zenith under "Vermeer chipper knives" and you'll see what I mean.

The zeniths work great for me and you can't beat the price. I haven't had very good luck with the woodsman pro knives that Bailey's sells. They seem much to brittle.

I love Zenith.. so far, so good. Nice folks on the order line too. Blade are 1/2 what dealer wants AND (THIS IS TRUE) blades seem to hold up better?? Maybe it's just luck but they do seem to hold an edge better than some of the dealer blades on a BC 2000

I received excellent service from Zenith -but was disappointed in the made in Viet Nam lable(the knives have performed fine). I was very satisfied with the Simmonds(Sp) knives I bought previously and plan to order them next round.-Leonardi carries the Simmonds and I have had great service from them.

softer blades are better im running a soft set against a hard set and after 30+sharpens the softer grade steel is better in overall aplication.

zenith make good knives.

Simmonds needs a better website that is easier to navigate..
When Americans stop demanding pensions and healthcare and time off for everything, the jobs may come back here. Those of us in the private sector have to pay for our own healthcare and pensions.. Our entitlement mentality has led to companies moving its operations overseas. Can't blame them, though. It sucks, but I can't blame them.

Oh, and when companies like Vermeer charge $70+ for the same knife that Zenith sells for $40, why would I choose to spend an extra $120 per set just to avoid using an overseas brand? If I charged my customers like that I would get run out of town.
