You can see the Martelli rotary cutter in a demo video here:

Just scroll down to the rotary cutter video. It keeps the wrist in a neutral position so is ergonomically more correct. A lot of people with arthritis, etc. find it easier to use. It does take a little getting used to, but I like it. You may be able to order it online cheaper on eBay.
