I don't know of any ruler that has a sharpener, but someone on the board posted this sharpener and said it worked wonderfully.

I bought a Martelli rotary cutter over a year ago and I'm still using the original blade. It's just as sharp now as it was then. When I bought the cutter the guy told me their blades last 3 to 5 years.

A quilter friend has a martelli rotary cutter. I thought it was weird looking with that off set handle but she loves it. I may have to check it out. Are the blades real expensive for it?

I just went to the website. Prices are not bad at all! 5 pack 45mm blades are 24.95 and the cutter is on sale for 19.95.

There is a ruler that has a sharpening edge. It's new.

You could check Ebay for rotary blades. that's where I get mine. --Linda--

good idea Linda, I hadn't thought of that.

The ruler isn't available now from what I read about it.

I bought this and it has paid for itself already. It won't remove nicks from the blade but it will put a sharp edge on it. I haven't changed my blade since I bought the sharpener.
