I will be watching to see what you think when you get it :D:D:D
You know, I think you may be on to something. I know my husband is a fanatic about having sharp knives in the house. He usually pulls them out of the drawer and sharpens them every month or so. And I always have a good knife to use. Maybe that would be the same for our rotary cutters too. Kinda stands to reason, don't you think?

Would be nice to find one that fits a Fiskers. Those blades are kinda pricey.

I have one ordered but they were out of stock. They said I would get it this month. I sure hope it works.

Most of the rotary blades fit all cutters...if the Fiskars are expensive, get a cheaper brand. I have tried different ones in my cutters, and they are interchangeable.

It looks interesting. Let us know how it works. I love gadgets and when I am at Keepsake next summer I will look for one. Love that store. It is close to my Daughter in NH.

The description doesn't mention blade size. It says it works on any rotary cutter. I'm anxious to see how people like it.

I have one of those sharpener that you put blades in & twist around. It works pretty good.

I know I would like to have a sharpener that actually did a good job, as I am sure many of you would. Wonder if that day will ever come? Here is the link, hope it works.

I can't imagine anything we could buy that would sharpen the blades well enough to spend the money. I would rather use my coupon from Joann's and buy new.

For me, buying new blades or other sewing/quilting supplies means a 60-mile round trip. If this thing works, maybe it would at least sharpen a blade enough to let me finish a project before I have to make the trip to buy a new one.

The Olfa ones are worse. I have a 65MM Fiskar and replacements are not available in my area - even at Wal Mart.
I found some on sale at Joanns for 1/2 price. I was very pleased to say the least. Regular price is over $10 for one.
