I would like to try the Quilters Select to see how they fit my hand. Good luck!
If you are referring to the Olfa ergonomic cutter that you squeeze the handle to expose the blade, you don't have to keep squeezing it while cutting. The locking button that secures it shut also secures it open. I've used this kind of cutter for years and I love it. It's much more comfortable than the straight cutter for me.
