I have one. Mine is wonderful, I just love it - worth every penny. Everytime it gets a little dull I pop it in the sharpener. Mine blade did have a nick the time before last that it needed sharpened, but DH just keep running it around in the sharpener until it was good to go again. The blade I'm currently using is a sharp as the new ones I have on hand, yet has already cut fabric for 5 quilts. (trust me when I say only a sharp blade should do that, don't use it super dull, it's not safe).
