Default Titanium Rotary blades ;)

I asked a question months ago about using the new Titanium Rotary cutter blades and didn't get much response of yay or nay. Yesterday I took the plunge and purchased a new rotary cutter with a titanium blade. I am waaay beyond impressed!! This thing is so incredibly sharp I continue to be amazed at every cut I make!... doesn't take much to impress us quilters does it? giggle
I am super super impressed with the sharpness of the blade!!! It is a Fiskars 45mm cutter, my old is an Olfa. If they make titanium blades for Olfa..(which JOann's didn't have) I would buy them for that too. Fiskars was the only one with Titanium blades @ Joann's so I took a leap of faith and at 40% felt I wasn't taking too much of a risk.
Next, I think I will try reconditioning my cutting mat as someone suggested by soaking it in water overnight then laying it out to dry... I think it is supposed to plump it up and kind of re seal the cutting lines.
So, I am giving 2 thumbs up for titanium blades!
JMHO
