I use a 45mm Fiskars most often but I have an old 65mm that I just bought a replacement blade for and love using. Makes quick work of cutting. I like how the Fiskars feels in my hand. I can get a 5 pack blade replacement for $13 and change from Amazon which is cheaper than buying with a coupon at Joann's.

I also prefer the Fiskars, still use the first one I ever purchased back in the 80's. My hands are small and this is the most comfortable one for me.

I love my Fons and Porter rotary cutter because it automatically goes out to cut and then when you take the pressure off the mat, it goes back to safety mode. After the emergency room run and the over $600.00 bill (think how much fabric I could have bought, sigh), my husband bought this one (actually two of them) for me.

I used to get cheap ones. No more. You can get fiskars or olfa on sale or with a coupon at Joanns. They are cheaper at Michaels and AC Moore and the 50 percent coupon makes it reasonable. For no special reason I've ended up with fiskars probably because of the sale. They have a new safety cutter. It took a little getting used to but I really like it. It also closes automatically.

I prefer the Kai cutters as they retract automatically when you release the pressure on the blade and are therefore safer. I also have a Martelli which is designed for left or right handers but one still has to manually close the blade.
