It there a blade that would cut a load of half bricks from an opening I’ve made?

I have used some tungsten carbide blades - shaped like a girder to keep the blade straight and not prone to bending, and these have cut relatively soft bricks ok. They are made by bosch.

One time, a blade managed one side of a door opening, before blunting on bricks similar to London commons, but this was with the cut inline with a perp joint so that's really about 14 bricks.

I suspect the dry cutting did not help the blade.

These seem pretty soft so I’ll give the Bosch above a try (y)
