For most of my detailed cutting I've been using generic #11 craft knife blades and it seems the "wear curve" on them is rather aggressive to start with then kind of goes flat.
Like, a new blade goes through leather like butter but that lasts for maybe 4-5 decently sized cuts before it starts needing multiple swipes and then at some point it almost feels like the leather is bumpy or grainy where the blade isn't cutting through denser sections.
I don't want to be too wasteful nor do I want to be forever changing blades - how long do you tend to go between changes?
Just long enough that I start pushing really hard, or needing multiple passes to fully get through a cut, then when I do I kick myself for not doing it sooner.
