Blade question

I am no longer a pro and am setting up a little shop in my garage. I have a
table saw and my first impulse was to buy a Forrest blade. I have used them
for 10 years and think they are great. I have been reading about Tenyru
blades and how they perform as well. Any body have thoughts, opinions,
insults?

Seen demos, never used one personally for long time...seemed fine from
what I saw.

I took a chance n Forrest and discovered something great 10 years ago. I
find it hard to believe in that time no one would go head with Forrest/
Tenryu blades are cheaper and if they are as good why not?

Pardon my asking, but if you have used Forrest blades successfully for 10
years why change?

There was a review of Dado sets recently, and a Tenyru was
included along with the usual suspects. It didn't stand out,
according to the reviewers.

Oh, that's tempting.

As for the blade, never heard of it.

I saw them demoing at the woodshow in Atlanta this fall. They were
doing some pretty cuts. I thought I saw a review in some magazine in
the past 6 months that gave them a good rating.
