I’m also Right handed and use the Olfa 45. When I had carpal tunnel I used the ergo Martelli quite a bit but never felt comfortable with it. But I cut different because of the years with carpal tunnel. I lay my fabric out and cut across the top of the fabric using my right hand with my left forearm resting on the ruler. Looks scary as heck, I have been trying to get out of the habit.
Heavens to Betsy! Doesn't sound safe at all... remember how many times I have cut off my fingertips (3)? Those cutters really are dangerous. I am trying to get in the habit of
closing the blade guard when I lay the cutter down. Sometimes just moving piles of stuff around on the table I will bump into it and nick my fingers.
