I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Truecut rotary cutter... http://www.graceframe.com/site/rotarycutting. It has a guide for the cutter to ride on which makes it much safer to use. I think this will be my next one to buy. My sister has one and likes it. If anyone has used this one I would love to hear from you. (you do have to buy the ruler). Sandi

I just continue to use my original Olfa 45mm cutter. I also had a 28 mm which I gave to a friend. Didn't use it enough to miss it and she couldn't find her regular cutter! At least she had something to use. I've not had an issue with the Olfa so have not had a need to get something different. Was the first and only cutter I've had for the past 15 years.

I bought what my best friend said she uses:

I like that the blade retracts and it has a comfortable handle. Just haven't found how to change the blade yet. I bought a 45mm at JAF.

I have been using the Martelli for at least 5 years and just LOVE it! I'm a lefty, too and they specifically have a left handed one. You can use any blades in it, but I find theirs do last longer.

Forgot to say I use my martelli with the slide cut ruler? Not sure of the name. The ruler that has posts that come down when you press and holds your fabric better than normal rulers. You use the slide cut in your left hand as you use your ruler from the right. Hands and fingers are safe this way and I get perfect cuts, not like before when my ends always ended up thinner from sliding from lack of pressure that far away from my hand. This evens it up. The martelli fits this to a T.
