I have had both the Fiskers and Olfa, I say had because I gave away the Fiskers to a new quilter because I thought it dulled my blades quicker than my Olfa. My sister has a June Taylor that she got at Wal-Mart and she told me to stay away from them that they dull your blades quickly. By the way, I also have both the Fiskers and Olfa blades and think the Olfa combination of cutting mat and blades last longer than the Fiskers combo. I definitely can go longer between blade changes with the Olfa.
