There are blades for the Olfa cutter that 'pink' you fabric used them for years, a real hand saver.

I've never seen the smaller ones. The pair I have I bought about 45 years ago. I mainly use them for trimming the ends of fabrics before I wash them - stops them unravelling.

I have my grandmothers left handed ones in four sizes. Do you want me to leave you a pair in my will? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I love them, I use them all the time. They are Sheffield Steel and Solingen.
And keep this in mind if you get them sharpened ;)
