    Quoted from: I saw this cutter recently... It is supposed to be more "ergomonic". What do you all think? Anyone have experience with one of theses? http://www.quiltbug.com/notions/martelli.htm (updated post, I found it again)

    Yes, I have this cutter. It works great once you get used to it. I use it for my Alto's Quilt cut and it works awesome.

    There have been both positive and negative comments on this, so you really would have to try it to know.

    I like my Olfas because I can use them left or right handed and don't have to change anything.

    check out the Clotilde's web site, they offer a number of different cutters by different companies and have 2 or 3 different ergo ones, their prices are not bad and they do have sales and specials.

    These are a bit pricey and are wonderful but tend to break their little spring real fast. Seems to be an issue with them. Hopefully they are resolving it or have.
