I'll second that one. I've made some points of bandsaw that were better than Zwickeys for toughness. Circular saw needs care and resharpenning.

....yyeeaahh, just dont send none of them screamin down south, i dont wanna get the things pulled out of me. looks good dude.

Butch Speer:
A lot of times, table saw blades that have carbide insert teeth, use a mild steel body. Look for saw blades that have just plain teeth cut into the body. These can even be tempered.

Kegan, I usually check yard sales and auctions.  I look for old hand saw blades.  The steel is thinner and harder.  I have not tried any of the newer blades. 
1/2 primitive, as far as the circular saw blades, I try to get the non carbon tipped blades and I usually heat treat and temper them to around RC 55 or so.  They hold an egde good and can be sharpened with a small file or a slow grinding wheel.  Also, if you can find some of the industrial grade sawblades that alot of construction crews use, they already have a high temper.
