    I have never used anything but a 45mm Olfa rotary cutter since they came on the market, and I love it! I have a 60mm Olfa rotary cutter for heavier cutting, but I rarely have a need to use it.

    Olfa 45 mm ergonomic is my favorite, but the 60 mm is great for several layers when cutting strips.

    Just bought a Gingher 45 mm and absolutely love it. Have been using an Olfa 45 mm but am finding the blades dull very quickly.

    I absolutely love, love, love my Martelli cutter. It doesn't hurt my arthritic hand and it cuts like buttah AND the blades last forever.

    I've had the same experience with Olfa so I too bought a Gingher.
    And, although much better than the Olfa, it's nowhere near as good as the Martelli.
