I have broken my old rotary cutter and need to purchase a new one. I am planning on purchasing and Olfa. Are the blades from Fiskars and Olfa (or from other brands) interchangable? I have 4 news blades from my Fiskars and I don't want to discard them, but I don't want to purchase NEW blades for my Olfa if the old ones will work. Any help on this would be sincerely appreicated.

If you have arthritis, get the ergonomic one by Olfa.

they are usually interchangeable.

Even if you don't have arthritis, get one that has ergonomics in the mix.

I have a Fiskars ergonomic (circa 1990) ... and can cut a lot longer with it, than many of the other brands/styles that are not ergonomically friendly.

While it's old, I noticed last year that they were still selling the same one, so it must have been a good one! :)

As for blades, I've always used Olfa. Though in making a purchase, if I were you, I'd double check!

Olfa will work in Fiskars, so Fiskars should work in Olfa.

as well as the blades from Harbor Freight.

Love my Olfas! Had a Martelli and it was a piece of junk! I have the ergonomic in all sizes and love them.

I bought a Gingher rotary cutter.

I was NOT impressed with it.

I have a Martelli and love it. Got it when they first came out.

I have a Martelli and use it all the time. I love it! Got mine at Overstock.com for less than $20 including shipping.
