They are called rotary carpet cutters...I bought a whole bunch and have only changed them once...very inexpensive even with the postage.

Does anyone know how to clean the Martelli cutter? I get a lot of dirt inside the plastic and can't get it out

Fits perfectly, if you can find them in stock. At last purchase, bought 10 pkgs. should have taken them all. Love them!

I just put one of Harbor Freight's blades in my Martelli cutter last night and it works okay but it sure is not the same quality blade as one made for a rotary cutter. It would not cut eight layers of thin white muslin, had to use the Olfa for that. I think I'll stay with Friskar's or Olfa's blades.

My cutter is a Fiskars, and wondering if they would fit it? Does anyone know?

You're right, I have to get a pin and clean it. I was told the new ones are supposed to have a way to clean but I haven't seen them. Is yours new?
