The maximum sharpness / Made in Japan /OLFA 45 mm tungsten steel Ergonomic Rotary Cutter & 45mm Rotary Blade Refill, 1-Pack Value Set

What an awesome tool!! I've only had this 45mm Olfa rotary cutter for about 4 days, & normally I would wait longer to write a review on a new tool, but this rotary cutter is just amazingl!! So accurate, easy to use, safe, comfortable in my hand, sturdy, & cuts through anything I tried with ease. I had gotten one of the cheap rotary cutters, because it came with 9 blades. It was a nightmare, & it couldn't even cut anything, except my fingers. I then ordered this Olfa cutter the next day. It shipped almost immediately & I had it in 2 days. I noticed that the Japanese version came with an extra replacement blade, which the U.S. version did not. Also, the Japanese version is less expensive, much less if you add in the cost of the extra blade. The only difference between the Japanese & U.S. version is that the directions on the back of the packaging is in Japanese or in English. Tip: If you search for the Olfa U.S. version, in the pics, there is a pic of the back of the package in English, which I took a screenshot of, just in case I needed any directions, but honestly, I didn't needed them yet, but it's still good to have it. For $15.49 this is a bargain. I should've saved myself the aggravation & ordered this Olfa instead of the useless other one. This cutter is very well-made of really sturdy plastic, the blades are extremely sharp, & it just glides through fabrics easily. I got this to use with a skip blade for crochet projects, but I know I'll use this a lot for a so many other things, & it will last a very longtime. It can be used for both right & left-handed people, just switch the side the blade is on. I'm left-handed & it was so simple & quick to change the side that the blade is on. If you're thinking about getting this Olfa 45mm rotary cutter, it's definitely worth the cost, & then add other types of blades as needed. I highly recommend this seller & this tool. I absolutely love it!! 5 stars!! Tysm!!

Okay, I'm not a seamstress and will be using this to cut wool strips for hand hooked rugs and chair pads. I've made 3 hand hooked rugs and I cut ever single piece of .24" strips of wool by hand using scissors. I started making some chairs pads for dining room chairs and will be hand hooking those. These strips will be bigger 2.5" x .5" but still small strips. I thought after seeing a rotary cutter maybe I could use this for cutting my small strips of wool. I've used this rotary cutter 3 times and it works wonderfully. I researched a lot of cutters and almost purchased a more expensive one just because you think cost more must be better, right? Well, I noticed on YouTube and Yahoo Videos that all the women showing how to cut cloth for quilts were all using this Olfa cutter. Now, common sense told me that these experienced women knew a lot or they wouldn't be teaching classes, running their own businesses, so surely they would be using the best cutter. After using this cutter I agree with them it is definitely worth every cent I paid and I would definitely buy another one if needed. It cuts great and I'm cutting wool. I've used it 3 times and it cut perfectly each and every time unless I didn't do something right. I like the way you lock it into place when you put it away. Never having used a rotary cutter before, I wondered if it would take some getting used to, NOPE, easy as pie to learn to use. I'm so happy I purchased this cutter and would highly recommend it to anyone for ease of use and quality of product.

There are some things I will never use scissors for again! This cuts through fabrics of all types (cotton, silk dupioni, polypropylene and heavy duty nylon webbing, fleece and faux furs) like butter. I automatically set it up for lefty-ness and it is so easy to use, especially along a ruler. I got a suction cup handle for hand safety and I'm glad I did. The blades it came with are super sharp, it comes with a nice little blade holder, and the blades I got for replacement after that are Famore 45mm Professional Tungsten Carbide Rotary Blades.The hole on the back makes hanging it on my thread rack easy and the safety lock is nice. It's comfortable to use and the perfect size for not only straight cuts but gentle curves as well. I like it so much I'm buying another for work for staff to cut surgical drapes with (they could do 8 layers at a time and be done in a minute instead of hacking away at each one with dull scissors!)

I have 3 other name brand rotary cutters and this is by far the best I've ever used. I can use it right or left handed, which is a bonus for me because I'm ambidextrous. I've been using it right and left handed, so I don't have to move the fabric around to cut. My other cutters only cut right handed or I had to change blade position for left handed. It cuts fabric with ease. I love when you let go of the handle the blade automatically retracts. My other ones I have to push a button. It doesn't take much strength or effort to squeeze the handle, which is helpful because of arthritis in my hands. I like that the cutter came with an extra blade so I can switch it out when the blade gets dull. The fact that there was no English instructions was not a problem for me. I've used this rotary cutter on 4 cotton fabric sewing projects so far and the blade is still sharp. I would buy again.

I've been using this for the past year to cut leather and it has held up wonderfully. Cuts through thick pieces of leather like butter! Love the safety feature to keep the blade out of the way in between uses. Came with a replacement blade but haven't needed to use it yet.

My previous rotary cutter stopped working right. This one is easy to grip and use. It’s also a great brand of rotary cutters.

This Olfa rotary trimmer has no comparison. Made well, it fits perfectly in one's hand, snaps the blade back into safety mode when done to prevent injury, always cuts the perfect line and in general, I simply don't thing there is a better cutter out there. Caveat - this did come with it's labeling all in Japanese characters. However, it is the exact same quality as those I've purchased directly in the US markets. Buy with confidence.

Easy to hold. Very nice and comfortable to cut with. No worries about getting nicked with blade as it automatically returns to closed position when not in use

Sue has purchased this cutter previously and finds it does an, excellent job cutting material. She highly recommends this product

No logre cortar la tela por completo habia que pasarlo varias veces para lograrlo

Alles prima.Bestelle, zhalen und lieferung perfect.Ich werde mit sicherheit wieder bestellen.Absolute top classe.Das product das ich bestelt habe is super gut.

Cutter solide !..prise en main parfaite pour les grandes coupes et grande facilité d’exécution. Pour moi le meilleur!!... car il est légèrement recourbé vers le tissu ce qui me donne aucune fatigue du poignet lors des coupes, et l'utilisation du cutter se fait plus précise. Le seul fait de maintenir le manche rétracte la sécurité , vous lâcher le cutter et la lame se rétracte de suite, que demander de plus ?.. 6 étoiles !

Very good, easy and safe to use rotary cutter. Would recommend
