Does anyone use this kind of ruler for cutting?

I too haven't seen this ruler however my DH has been a flooring installer for about a million years and he uses steel rulers with his olfa knives and I've "borrowed" his curvy ruler without any worries.

that's what I was thinking too. Wouldn't this limit what you can cut??? Is it heavy?

It seems it would require you to use the lines on your cutting mat for measuring the cut, rather than the ruler. Maybe OK for some uses (like the long cuts in a fabric store, which are measured on the mat anyway). But I can't see it for home use - at least not for fabric. Looks perfect for cutting drywall

Not being able to see through it; having the rotary cutter blade go over metal, and the weight of the metal (no matter the length) would all be a problem for me. I can't see any advantage to it at all.

Well, looking it at the prices, it appears to be more expensive than an omnigrid ruler, without the ability to see through it and line up perpendicular lines and see the marking the whole way along the fabric, so I'm not sure what would be worth the extra price.
