With all blades they tell me you get what you pay for, but being around the block as they say (up in years) I can tell you that the best power tool with a dull blade is worthless and the cheapest pos with a super sharp blade will win hands down.
The Sandvik is a very good blade, I own: Forrest,Freud,Delta,Olsen,Amana,Dewalt,Milwaukee, Irwin,Bosch,lenox,Makita,Morse and even more that I am forgetting but as I said I keep them sharp and they all perform very good.
