Quoted from: I saw this cutter recently... It is supposed to be more "ergomonic". What do you all think? Anyone have experience with one of theses? http://www.quiltbug.com/notions/martelli.htm (updated post, I found it again)

You know they are guarantee for life send them back to the company Fiskar.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I will def. research some of those names and look into the guarentee for fiskers! Happy Thanksgiving to all :D

I actually lost the nut that was on mine, went to ace hardware and got a new one and its works better now

[quote=kajaza]Yes, I have this cutter. It works great once you get used to it. I use it for my Alto's Quilt cut and it works awesome.

[quote=featherweight]have you tried the harbor frate blades in them? I was wondering if they would work as well

There have been both positive and negative comments on this, so you really would have to try it to know.

I like my Olfas because I can use them left or right handed and don't have to change anything.

check out the Clotilde's web site, they offer a number of different cutters by different companies and have 2 or 3 different ergo ones, their prices are not bad and they do have sales and specials.

[quote=kajaza]These are a bit pricey and are wonderful but tend to break their little spring real fast. Seems to be an issue with them. Hopefully they are resolving it or have.

I have used the Martelli ergomonic cutter for over 3 yrs..it is great..any 45 blade will fit..but the Martelle blade last so much longer..I am a lefty..several of my quilting friends have bought the cutter after using mine..I got mine from Hittle Company..Kathleen
