I love my Olfa ergonomic 45mm cutter. I like it because you squeeze the handle and the blade is ready to go and once you release the handle it goes back to a safe position. I have other ones where you have to push the protective slide up and down and I'm always forgetting to do so. The 45 seems to be a good size.

I wore out my fiskars, they snap shut while I'm trying to cut, now I use olfa and love them.

This particuliar one is the kind that when you grasp the handle you lower the blade and when you lay it down it automatically retracts, a really good safety feature. Have wondered about the ergonomic ones. Will be interested to hear what everyone thinks.

I have a dritz which im not crazy about at all. I just ordered an olfa ergonomic by the recommendations here. I also ordered the mule tailor ruler so the dritz won't fit in the template so I needed a new cutter as it is...

For those asking, the Martelli is available thru Amazon.

Now that I have a Gingher rotary cutter I wouldn't buy anything else.

I like the last OLFA cutter that I bought. You can open just half the blade at a time, depending on which side you want to use. I like the Martelli cutters but I don't use them like they're made for -- I pinch mine instead of using them ergonomically with my wrist straight, lol! I usually use the 45mm size blades.

I cut erverything with the Fiskar blade attached to a 6X24 inch ruler..I recently contacted the company because they are no longer made, and I wanted one for my daughter..They said they will be making them again this year, due to quilter demand

I love the Olfa that retracts when at the end of the strip, So much safer, then I can press a button to lock it away from young inquisitive fingers.It is also curved to help with problem hands.
