I want to try it out, but I wonder if the inability to see through it will bw a problem.

It certainly would be a problem for me.

ROFLMAO!! Oh that was so good! The Carbide embedded ruler edges would work for sharpening although they won't fix nicks as good as a whetstone. Although if they ever sell a Carbine ruler maybe I could shoot my quilt if it got mouthy LOL

I needed a good laugh thank you!

I can really see it for squaring up a quilt though, excellent for that with being able to order a long length.
