- INTRICATE & ACCURATE CUTTING - Provides detailed and precise cutting of a variety of materials including cotton, wool, paper, vinyl, leather, and more. Also fits our Pinking Blade (PIB45-1), Scallop/Peak Blade (SCB45-1), and Wave Blade (WAB45-1).
- THE OLFA STANDARD - As the inventor of the Rotary Cutter in 1979, OLFA has maintained a standard of cutting excellence for our quality and durability. Pairing OLFA brand rotary cutter, blades and cutting mats together will provide optimal results.

- Reviewed in Canada on June 29, 2020Verified PurchaseThis rotary cutter works super well. It is convenient, fast, and easy to use with just a few minutes' practising. My one concern is that the mats that protect surfaces and help to extend the life of the rotary cutters has some chemicals in it - and some that may be toxic. I do use the proper mat anyway, but I do wish that the chemicals had been mentioned in the description for the mats so that I could research it before buying. Note: no matter which rotary cutter you purchase, you will need to buy a mat as well. This particular rotary cutter also has a pinking cutter that can be switched out with the regular blade. It is a separate purchase, but well worth it for edging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp blade and sturdy body.
Verified PurchaseIt's a good purchase, received the blade today and tested on some cotton fabrics with folded in 8 layers and it did cut the fabric smoothly. You do need to put little pressure and hold the blade steady and in one stroke; 'voila'. Makes my job easier. Now, let's see how long the blade's sharpness lasts. Hope it goes a long way.
