The $340 brick saw blade that everyone hates, I love it anyway

I dropped $340 on a continuous rim diamond blade for my 14 inch saw after months of listening to guys at the supply yard swear they were a waste of money... It's been 8 weeks and I've cut 4,000 bricks with zero chips and zero glazing, way better than the segmented blades I used for 15 years. Has anyone else actually run one long enough to see if they hold up, or is everyone just repeating what their foreman told them?

Ten years on a segmented blade is a long time, and yeah, the price tag stings up front. But from what I have seen, the continuous rim is a totally different animal once you get past the sticker shock. That zero chipping part is the whole ballgame for me. A lot of those yard guys are cutting on old blades with worn arbor plates, so of course they blame the blade. Stay on top of your water flow and keep your cuts steady and it should keep paying you back. Curious how it looks at the 10,000 mark though, that will be the real test.
