Rotary Cutters

There is a little thing you buy at the store for sharpening those blades. It works "ok". Its basically a piece of sandpaper in a round container with a lid w/ handle. The blade is pushed against the sandpaper with the lid and twisted, sharpening the blade.

there are sharpeners on the market- i have one in a drawer- i've had it for 8 years- i've used it a couple times- i hate it- it is dangerous- and only helps for a limited amount of time- i would rather spend the $$ on new blades than deal with that 'handy-dandy' gadget.
but i keep it around- in case a day comes when i have no $$ or no way to get to a new blade and need one==right then (and pray that day never comes)

To dangerous without a safe sharpening tool. A trip to the ER will buy a lot of new blades. I love the Grace blade sharpener. It works if there is no nick in the blade. I run my cutter through it the first thing before starting to cut. Sharpening a sharp blade will keep it sharp for almost forever. Don't wait until it gets dull to sharpen it.
