Naturally they will never receive any business from us for any product they sell in the future. We also will be vigilant in warning anyone who asks about their lack of quality and poor customer satisfaction.

I did not purchase it but two of my friends did. They did like cutting with it but the spring broke. From other posts I see this is a comon problem.

I have one. Purchased it several years ago. I have never changed the blade but thanks for the heads up on problems with changing them. I may go up later and see if I can get the screw off.

I had to go back to the Olfa which is not ergonomic.

I love, love, love my ergonomically shaped Gingher. It doesn't hurt that it is also very pretty ;-)
