It would start cutting, and then it would tear and make the paper bunch up. I didn't have any replacements on hand, and weather being so gloomy and rainy, there was no way I was going to take my 3 kids in the car to get a new blade.
Then it occurred to me that if I can sharpen a knife, why wouldn't I be able to do that with a Cricut blade? I took the blade, ran it through the sharpening block just a few times and look at the difference:
I would recommend doing it only a few times, as doing too much would alter the length of the blade - and that would most likely create problems in setting the depth of the blade. However, in the meantime, I do have 3 other dull ones - I'm going to pull all of them out and sharpen them before I decide to take my 3 kids out to buy a blade.
