Product review
Pike jeweler's piercing blades come as a full gross — 144 individual blades bundled into 12-dozen groups for convenient storage and access. These are 2/0 size blades intended for fine piercing and detail cutting in jewelry and metalwork.
Manufactured in Switzerland from a specially formulated alloy steel, the blades undergo a precise tempering process that produces consistent flexibility and a distinctive golden-straw finish. Each blade is produced to tight tolerances so tooth pitch, angle, and size remain uniform from one blade to the next.
The teeth are ground to provide a straight, clean cutting line, while the rounded back of each blade helps when navigating curves. Blades measure approximately 5-1/4 inches in length and are suitable for cutting a wide range of metals and other hard materials used in jewelry and small-scale metal fabrication.
Pros
- Uniform teeth for precise cuts
- Golden-tempered alloy resists breakage
- Large 144-piece supply reduces reordering
Cons
- Can dull faster under heavy or high-speed use
- Some reports of breakage if twisted or misused
- Not optimized for heavy stock removal
VerdictThese Pike 2/0 jeweler's blades deliver consistent, fine-pitch cutting for piercing and delicate metalwork. Many users praise their longevity and ability to produce tight turns with minimal kerf, and they also perform acceptably in scroll saw applications. A portion of users report occasional breakage or fast dulling under heavy use, so attentive lubrication and careful handling extend life. Overa

Confirmed count — 144 blades included
I doubted the tally when I opened the pack, but there really are 144 blades inside. I counted them to be sure.

Broke and dulled too quickly
These broke easily for me and lost sharpness fast. I won’t be using them again on my bench.

Repeat buyer — dependable supply
I keep ordering these because they work so well and I hand them out so others can try them. Clean shavings often and add lubricant and they last a long time. Don’t twist them and they’ll tolerate a fair bit of abuse.

Surprisingly useful for scroll-saw puzzles
I tried these on my scroll saw for jigsaw puzzles. For the price I didn’t expect much, but they worked well. I counted roughly 30 tpi, they leave fine dust, the kerf is tiny and turns are tight. They wear faster than dedicated puzzle blades on 1/4" stock, but they’re a good value.

Last longer and cut cleaner than generic blades
The blades that came with my saw kept snapping and made cutting a chore. These hold an edge longer and let me cut more smoothly without replacing blades constantly.

A welcome change from pricier blades
I’ve used many brands and usually paid for higher-end blades, but I needed blades quickly and tried these. After a week they became my go-to. I’ve used a few and only replaced them as they dulled.

Great for delicate fretwork
I run these in a scroll saw cutting 1/8" Baltic birch. They perform well at the slowest speed. Without reverse teeth you’ll get burrs on the back, but corners are extremely tight and I routinely cut down to 1 mm pieces.
