Fiskars 60mm Titanium Comfort Loop Rotary Cutter

I have been using this rotary cutter since I purchased it in September. This cutter is fantastic! It's already sliced through well over 750 garments. Each garment is cut into a minimum of 4 pieces. The garments are cut into between 4 and 6 pieces PLUS what is cut through and discarded such as elastic cuffs & waist bands, zippers and the button plackets. That's a lot of cutting. Here it is, December 8th, 3 months and over 750 garments and easily over 3000 slices later ....... and I am STILL using the very same original blade that the rotary cutter arrived with! Those folks who claim they have to run the rotary cutter back & forth 10 times or multiple times, to actually cut through whatever their cutting, all I can say is, barring an actual flaw in workmanship or assembly of a particular Fiskars Rotary Cutter or its blade [these mishaps, ie., "duds" do occur in industry], that the issue lies with the user and their technique and not the rotary cutter itself. Try holding the handle at an angle, blade down at waist level, handle at navel level. Don't run it parallel to the item being cut. Believe me, barring a "dud" it's not a dull blade. I would definitely recommend this product. In fact, I'm re-ordering .......I want a second Fiskars Rotary Cutter. I have a cutting partner who assists me. She, too, is impressed with this rotary cutter. We each want our own. Now we'll have 2 rotary cutters. This makes the job go swiftly and effortlessly.

How have I lived without this? As a leather worker I am astounded that I haven't bitten the bullet and bought one of these before. It's super sharp and the protector button is absolutely a necessity......seriously. I cant believe how sharp this is - it cuts thick leather like butter. I am now hooked and can't imagine every going back to a stanley knife to cut my leather.

I use this Fiskars rotary cutter for hands cutting paper for custom notepads only. I think it’s easy to use, insanely smooth, and blade is still sharp. I’m not generally a Fiskars fan, but these are getting the job done. Oh, and I’m left-handed and swapping the blade over was quick and easy. I don’t “free-hand” cut anything so, the wobble, discussed below, isn’t a problem. I usually cut 10-12 sheets at a time on a cutting mat. With firm pressure, these cut in 1-2 passes. I only cut in one direction. I agree with other reviewers there is some small wobble, but I just use consistent pressure on a ruler to get a straight enough cut (I previously used a box-cutter). All paper cutters have some flaw or wobble. Only large, industrial paper-cutters costly big $$$ wouldn’t have this problem.

I like this rotary cutter. The grip is comfortable and I could slice all day. The problem I have had with this is not so much the cutter, but the blade. The blade that comes with this is terrible. I got through 2 projects, cutting one layer of cotton broadcloth for two baby sized quilts. It got to the point where it wasn't even cutting anymore, so I caved an bought a new blade. It was a night and day difference. The new blade has lasted about 4 projects, my most recent one requiring 4 uniform cuts through 9 layers of fabric. I will have to change the blade after this project. The blades are way too expensive, especially when the first one will need to be replaced right away. Overall, it is a nice little rotary cutter.
