Do you recommend one as opposed to the other?
I'm anxious to try this!

Sorry I'm only getting to your message now but I have been in bed for the last few days choking with a cold...
Yes you can use either type of Olfa cutter and they both use the regular rotary blades. So you don't have to purchase special blades.
Either of the two cutters will work, it is more of a personal preference which cutter you are more comfortable with. The one without the handle would fit in the palm of your hand. So you might have more control over that one oppose to the regular looking olfa slash cutters. I don't have the palm held one, but I do know people who have used them and really enjoy them
I hope I have answered your questions!! :)
Have lots of fun making your chenille.. I warn you though, that it can be addictive!!!
