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

i loved the way it felt in my hands..but can not see the cost for it, or the blades!

i love mine and have bought several on ebay for friends

My sister and I both have one. she's a righty and I,m a lefty. we love them!! no worries about th blade coming loose. it's worth it.

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.

But Gingher scissors are top of the line. I bought a pair with a 50% off coupon. I would like to try the rotary cutter also. Soon!
