Oh yes they do. I used my Fiskars rotary cutter from the day I started my second quilt in 1992. Last year, suddenly every time I tried to cut with it, it would snap closed and cut nothing. I had worn off the nub that keeps them open to cut with. I. Guess I wore it out closing it every time an used it or something, but 27 years for a ten dollar (a lot of money in 1992!) investment is not bad. Closing when you do not want it to, is much better than opening at inappropriate times in my book.
