I have a Fiskars here at home, but we use Olfas at the LQS where I work. I like them both...

UCHIDA translucent cutting mat. I like the stiffness and the markings every mm. The fumes that come off of the Olfa mats give me a headache.

You asked, I'll give you my two cents...
I LOVE my creative marks cutting mat, its 3x as thick as those cheap olfa mats!
www.jerrysartarama.com 23x35 is like 44.00$, but sew worth it! it seems to
heal better than olfa does, happy hunting!

I need a new mat. Looked on line for the price of the Martelli - WOW! I'll replace mine with another Olfa.

Ruby, My thoughts, exactly! The two smaller Olfas I have are great & I need to replace my large one. Overstock.com has the best price & shipping is a flat 2.95. A good deal IMO. :-)
