Hi, I've seen a few guys using a photo etched saw blade for an xacto knife but don't know where to buy them - any tips ?

Been wanting to try those. Think I actually bought the Tamiya ones at a swap meet but can't find them. Maybe first I should do some desk-workbench cleaning and organizing.

I have a set of photo-etched saw blades, but I don't know what brand - I don't use them much. I picked them up at my LHS when they had them on the pegboard. My go-to saw is an Exacto #1 knife with an Excel #13 saw blade. The blades are pretty easily available.

I have a Zona-type saw, coping saw, hacksaw, Dremel saws, and others, but the #13 is my favorite. Much stiffer than a photo-etched blade, not much thicker (about #11 blade thickness) and easy to use.
