   I buy the Hyde brand

   blades in boxes of 100, and they are fine for the usual stuff like cleaning paint off of glass. If you want to spend some money you can buy the lab grade version: http://www.2spi.com/catalog/tools/smtol14.shtml

   My main use for them is wallpapering.  The generic Ace ones from the local HW have too much "drag" on wet wallpaper.

   Use Olfa snap knives, they rock.  I like the ss version SVR-1, or SVR-2.

   Second vote for the heavy duty Olfa knife - I use one every day.

   I'll tell my wife (who's the chief wallpaper hanger in the house).  She's also a sewer/quilter, so quite familiar with Olfa.

   Even more better for scraping, no side notches, and thicker than regular blades.
