OLFA 45mm Ergonomic Rotary Cutter (RTY-2/DX) - Rotary Fabric Cutter w/ Blade Cover & Squeeze Trigger for Quilting, Sewing, Crafts, Replacement Blade: OLFA RB45-1H

This was my first rotary cutter that I added to my sewing kit and I love it! I can see myself using this model for years to cut fabric. Its been able to cut through a variety of stretch knits, flannel, and some faux fur used in my most recent projects. Havent noticed any dullness yet, but wow Im so happy with owning a rotary cutter. Now I just have to get some decent fabric scissors for those projects that arent cut out for a rotary cutter!

Excellent sharp rotary cutter

Oh OLFA rotary cutter ... Where have you been all my life?! I tested this rotary cutter right when it came. It was everything Ive heard about OLFA rotary cutters. I immediately found a new home for my old Fiskars rotary cutter --> trash can! I havent regret it since.

A friend recommended these to me and they don’t disappoint! The safety features are wonderful. I have severe arthritis in my hands and these are easy on my hands and very comfortable to hold. I highly recommend them!

I’ve been using Olga cutters for many years but this is the first time the blade in the package would not cut but hacked my premium fabric. I was outraged. I had to stop drive one hour to a fabric store buy a new blade and try to repair the seam that was hacked by the bad blade. The cutter itself is fine and safety features fine but the bad behaved as one that had been used until it was no good. I will reorder giving them another chance but they should be sending me the new blade with no cost and expedited.

Really good value

► Why I like it:

Great rotary cutter. Love the handle structure. It is easy to cut and secure with just a grip!

I have arthritis, and this is comfortable to use in my hand when I am cutting out sewing pattern pieces. I highly recommend using this rotary cutter and a large mat for cutting out fabric.

I got this rotary cutter for my husband to use for trimming photos. (He was always borrowing my Olfa cutter and then when Id want to use it the blade would chew my fabric!) This Olfa from amazon is every bit as good as the one Id purchased from Joannes Fabrics. It has a little hood over the blade lock to prevent the blade from inadvertently being unlocked....some of the reviewers complained about this feature, but I sort of liked it since my rotary cutters do a lot of traveling with me. I almost gave my husband my old cutter so I could keep this one for that reason. My husband has already used this cutter a lot and really likes that the blade is activated when the handle is gripped and then retracts readily. (The blade that came with this cutter is very sharp, too.)
