Has anyone tried either the Martelli or Gingher rotary cutters?

If so, what do/did you think of them?

I gave away some of my cutters, and I think I gave away too many, now I'm looking to replace at least one of them.

I go t the Gingher last Christmas and love everything about them them.

Can you use Olfa or Fiskar blades with them?

Anything particular - as compared to Fiskars or Olfa?

I recently purchased a Gingher Rotary Cutter. Love it.
But, I was sewing a few weeks ago and my dog (lab and akita) was laying on the floor, he jumped up barking, I jumped and so did the rotary cutter and part of my finger. .. Just be careful.

I hope you didn't do too much damage to yourself.

Those cuts can take a while to heal up.

I have the martelli cutter and after you get use to it is is great better for hand and arm.

I love my Martelli!

I love my Martelli too. Much easier on the shoulders for me.
However I have learned, after 4 years of use, that it is best to not use the Olfa blades in it. Buy Martelli blades for the cutter.

I have the Martelli and like it. It does take a little practice to get used to the different position; however, it is much easier on the hands when you have a lot of cutting to do.

I have never seen a Martelli,In what ways is it different from a Olfa?
