I have the Gingher Rotary Cutter and I absolutely love it. Seemed a little odd at first but I wouldn't use anything else now.
When I was first thinking about it I told my son I wasn't sure I could justify something so expensive. He told me it's like the difference in a $20 hammer and a $120 hammer. As soon as you pick it up you can tell the difference. He was right.

I have been looking at the Gingher one, however I am really not fond of the price 69.99. I am sure I could get it with a coupon (50%?) or right now they are on sale at Joanns for 48.99 (30% off). Even with a 50% off coupon they would still be about 35.00.
I was just wondering if anyone had one?
Do you like it?
Do you HAVE to use the Gingher blades in it?
I love my other Gingher products so I don't know why I am second guessing the cutter but....
I like the blade to come out of the "side" or underneith the cutter instead of the "top" of the cutter and it seems as if more and more co. are making their cutter with the blade come out of the end, like the Olfa cutters!

I bought a Gingher cutter at Joann's a couple years ago and it is also my favorite rotary cutter. I love it.
I got mine on a black Friday sale and I think it was 60% off. (Or I would not have bought it.)
To me, it feels like a professional cutting tool in my hand, where some of the other cheaper ones I have feel like a toy in my hand.

I bought one at Joanne's on sale for half price. I have only tried to use it a few times. It is so sharp it scares me and I put it up. I love their scissors and guess I could finally get use to it but it is definitely different.
