I use the Olfa retractable blade cutter also and for basically the same reason that others mentioned. I can put it down after cutting and there is no cutting edge sticking out to cut me because I forgot to close it. Much safer for forgetful me! Ha! And it is pretty comfortable in my hand. Now if I could just stop hitting the corner of the rotary rulers and ruining the blade and the ruler ...........
Just saw that you are in England. Welcome to the QB. I am not sure if you can find the same make rotary cutters that we can get here in the states. Maybe someone else on the board who lives in England will chime in with some good suggestions.
