I have the same cutter as you and I always have the blade out button clicked to use it. I found the 45mm is much easier to use then the 60mm. I stocked up on Fiskar blades years ago whenever Hancocks had 50% off all notions sales. Back then I could get 5 blades for $5.50 at the sales. I haven't bought blades for Fiskar cutters in years. I use them in my Olfa cutters too. I bought the Gingher coated blades on sale and they are fantastic!
