Title: Swann Morton blades...
Post by: emjaybee on March 16, 2022, 02:51:16 PM
Quick question.

Has anyone got a supplier of Swann Morton blades, No.1 specifically.

I'm perilously low, and am struggling to source any. I know I saw someone supplying boxes of 50, but any number will do.

Ta muchly.

I think you order by phone even though the catalogue is online.

That's correct for Squires, no online trading, just telephone, mail, or in person.

I LOVE Squires. But, you have to be dedicated and willing to plough through 'old-school' ordering with them. The last time I ordered I think I spent about two evenings planning the order, printing it out so I didn't make any mistakes, then 30 mins on the phone placing the order. A fantastic company, but, wow, I mean, wow.

I agree, wonderful shop. I picked up their catalogue at an Exhibition a few years ago and used the enclosed order form by snail mail and cheque - but it did work so all's well that ends well.
