I'm sorry my usual filing system has let me down and I cannot even find out where I bought them, nor how long ago. At least 15+ years. The only reference I’ve got is on the packet shown.

Andy, that is looking really good
The blade looks like a reverse tooth.
For hardwood up to 25mm a number 7, I generally use a #12
What also makes a difference is the table insert, zero clearance.
Impressive cutting with no burn marks. How long did it take?
I ordered a whole lot of blades from Ax, which are somewhere between UK and SA, which included reverse tooth and modified geometry.
