I have one. Mine is wonderful, I just love it - worth every penny. Everytime it gets a little dull I pop it in the sharpener. Mine blade did have a nick the time before last that it needed sharpened, but DH just keep running it around in the sharpener until it was good to go again. The blade I'm currently using is a sharp as the new ones I have on hand, yet has already cut fabric for 5 quilts. (trust me when I say only a sharp blade should do that, don't use it super dull, it's not safe).

I personally don't think they're worth the price. The blades don't seem to be as sharp or stay as sharp as long. I get my blades through House of Hanson.com. The last time I got them, the Olfa blades were $3.00 each for a pack of 10. They have excellent service and prices. They also don't charge shipping and handling.

I do what you do about turning them over...another hint that works well for me...after cleaning the blade and cutter, add sewing machine oil to both sides of the blade and spread evenly, then turn over...works really well...VickiM in Crestview, Fl :)
