Recieved weekly email specials, and thought some folks might be interested in this. This blade is comparable to a Forrest WWII and depending on who you ask might be considered better. I dunno. I have a TS2000 but not a 40T WWII, so I can only comment that I love the TS2000.

RIDGE CARBIDE TS2000 SAW BLADE
The Ridge Carbide TS2000 is an awesome saw blade for serious woodworkers. Although most saw blade manufacturers make similar claims, reality is clearly behind this top-shelf performer and winner of numerous product reviews.
The 40 teeth on this saw blade are ground from C4 micro grain carbide, and go through a four step shaping and sharpening process. This process finishes with a 1200 grit pass to create razor sharp edges. In spite of the higher cost, the TS2000 saw blade utilizes WH style carbide teeth which can be resharpened 20 – 25 times because of their increased thickness.
Bottom line, for those woodworkers who've seen this terrific saw blade demonstrated at many woodworking shows over the last 15 years, you can appreciate how this “not so well known” blade can cut, for the rest, you might want to consider giving one a try to see what you've been missing. The TS2000 is a standard kerf blade and the TS2000TK is a thin kerf blade.
