I think you are paying for the name.

Or it could be because it's not a cheap piece of plastic junk.

I use Olfa Rotary cutters and I don't think they are cheap pieces of plastic junk! Just my opinion!

I think it is plastic. The silver is wearing off of mine.

I too have the Gingher and agree wholeheartedly... also any blades fit including the Harbor Freight ones.

I have tried all the brands I prefer the Olfa brand, the easy blade change one is great, it is easy on the hand. I use the small (28) for cutting curves etc.

I use Kai cutters and find them excellent - so can't help. Never seen a Gingher cutter -just the scissors.

I bought a ginger rotary from a LQS that was going out of business. It is just wonderful to use. Really glides across the fabric and fits nicely in your hand. I buy the blades with my coupons at JoAnn's or where ever I can find them on sale.
