Thanks everyone. I like the name Klutz gloves. Fits me perfectly. LOL

I also use the Klutz glove when I remember. I've cut my fingers too many times! Sorry about your pain!

I think these kind of cutters are a good idea. My original rotary cutter does not retract, but I was given one that does and have been using it lately. Reading these stories about cutting injuries makes me think I should retire my non-retracting cutter.

OUCH! Sorry to hear about your accident. You've already received your answer, just wanted to say sorry. Hope your hand heals quickly.

Ouch, so sorry. Fons & Porter has a safety glove-the Klutz I think, look in Connecting Threads.

I was using my Studio cutter last week. I was done with one of the long strip cutters and leaned it up against the work table. I turned and the die started to fall. i wasn't thinking and (tried) to stop it with my foot. I had socks on, but no shoes. Sliced my toe on the blade. I've had my cutter for about 15 years and should know better. Never had an injury before.

3 of my rotary cutters are made this way and my olfa cutter has a slide up safety cover for when the blade is not in use. no finger cutting accidents for me yet but my rulers and templates show plenty of battle scars.:thumbup:
