Easy to handle with a lovely sharp cutting edge
Not cheap and waiting to see how long the cutting blade remains sharp. I will only be using this on material so hopefully for some time as replacements could prove an expense over good scissors. I’ve had it a week and used every day so we’ll see.

Wort the expense for the time it saves.
Using this rotary cutter has halved my fabric cutting times I have used a cutter previously but it was poor quality & came apart this one however was sturdy & felt very comfortable in my hands. I would definitely recommend this rotary cutter.

This product is easy to use .
I have only recently started patchwork and was finding cutting accurately an issue for me. I was very impressed that I could cut four layers of fabric without any problem and it was so easy to use.

The only one for me.
A really good rotary cutter and the only one I've found that can be used by someone like me. I'm a leftie, and the blade on this Olfa cutter can be mounted on either side. Very handy.

Handy cutter
Whilst you didn’t have a great selection this cutter does the job
The trigger style handle is safer than the button style as the blade automatically retracts after use

Sharp but safe!
Nice and sharp so cuts cleanly. Nice feature is that it retracts when not held so no worries about it accidentally cutting things (like fingers!)

I love this cutter. It glides through fabric so easily. Easier than using scissors for those curved pattern edges.

The best rotary cutter
This has to be the best rotary cutter ever. It cuts cleanly and easily, much better than my previous one, even with a new blade on it.
I have tested the Olfa rotary cutter, on a daily basis, for two weeks now, it cuts like a knife through butter, making my quilting projects so much more accurate. Its easy to use, and I don't feel I need to lock the blade out during use, so when I put it down the blade just retracts. Well worth paying the extra money for

Very good product
I am making items for my local hospice and my old rotary cutter simply isn't up to the job. I called the Cardiff store to check stock availability, to be sure I got one they put one on one side for me until the next day, and I am very pleased with both the service and the product. This brand has always been reliable but I particularly like the safety feature of automatically covering the blade when the handle is released. Well worth the price.

Perfect safety feature!
I’ve recently started a new hobby (patchwork) & this is my first pair of cutters! After researching & much consideration I purchased this pair & very happy with my choice!
I especially love the safety feature on this product & although it’s very easy to use, the safety feature is simple to apply! It gives me precise & accurate cuts to my fabrics & edges remain clean cut!
Very pleased indeed!

Perfect for left and right handed crafters
I bought this to make life easier cutting fabrics. I am right handed, my wife is left handed. We can both use this really well. It takes about 30 seconds to swap the blade from right to left and back again.
Cuts fabric well, but you have to get some practice as it is easy to not push hard enough at the start of each cut.
Would probably cut card and paper as well, we have not tried.

Takes some getting used to. I have arthritis and have always used scissors. I am hoping this will be easier.

Easy to use; it has a good ergonomic shape feeling comfortable in the hand. Super sharp blade and great safety features.
My new rotary cutter is a revelation that has transformed my dress making and crafting. I'm always chasing that extra precision which the rotary cutter provides. Despite it's razor sharp blade, in safe mode I can tuck it away knowing it's properly stored. I'm really pleased that I've invested in this quality tool for my crafting work box.

Very easy to use
Having not used a rotary cutter before I was not sure what to expect. However I am delighted at how easy the rotary cutter was to use, after a few practice attempts I was able to cut fabric with ease. I’m sure I will save myself lots of time and I will end up with much straighter edges than I have had previously cutting with scissors.

A useful quilting tool
The Olfa Rotary Cutter is an excellent buy. The cutter is easy to use and with its blade covered when put down you can’t accidentally cut yourself! The blades are sharp and the handle comfortable to hold. There is a safety button so the blade doesn’t get exposed accidentally. Overall I am pleased with the purchase.

Better than expected - get one!
Thought I would try this to cut fabric to make a bag. Fur, wadding and linen which was a good challenge for this knife and it impressed me very much. Smooth sharp and easy to use - better than scissors.
I also liked the safety feature where the blade springs back out of the way as soon as you release your grip.

great cutter
This is a great cutter, with a good handle / blade position. I like this because you have to hold the handle in to release the blade and be able to cut, so as soon as you let go the blade is covered again. In addition there is a safety lock, which is reassuring if you have young children about.

Accurate and safe cutting
I'd been using an older, smaller rotary cutter not realising how blunt it had become. This 45mm cutter is much better and I have already made a patchwork quilt. It easily cut through several layers of fabric making iy accurate and easier to sew the pieces together
