Default Rotary Cutters

I need a new rotary cutter...... Any suggestions on what I should buy? I now own two Fiskars... one a 45mm cutter and the other a 60mm cutter. Sylvie

I love my Olfa ergonomic 45 one with the self closing blade when I lay it down. curved handle, black and yellow with red button to lock blade open if you wish.

I have a Martel and It is left handed. I really like it. They come in either left or right.

Another Gingher lover here! I also have a Martelli I haven't tried yet because I'm working on some hand applique, but I'm excited to try it.

I love the Olfa ergonomic. I would like to try the Ghinger and Martelli ones though.

My favorite is the Fiskers 45mm that has the curved handle so you press down on the orange bar over the blade to cut, not the straight handled one. Guess that's the ergonomic one.
