Might be a useful tool, but my first thought was "I will have to hide it from the cats, and it won't fit in the drawer I have for sharp things." My second thought was "I am way too clumsy to risk having any kind of exposed blade anywhere near me." I am happy with my fiskars ergonomoc cutter. I like having the blade shielded until I push a button. It is so natural for me to close it as I set it down that I will stick to what works.
