I have a Martelli Ergonomic rotary cutter which I hate, only because the wire which should act as a spring for the blade cover will. not. stay. on. Even. for a. single. cut! As a result, the blade is perpetually fully open, and very dangerous. I would love the cutter if they hadn't put in such a cheap, ineffective wire holder. I understand this was changed with their newer cutters. Would like to tell them where they should stick this one. To boot, it was expensive!
Just want you to be aware of this if you consider a Martelli cutter---make sure not to buy one like mine.

I LOVE my Martelli cutter and think very highly of the company as well. If you have one of the older ones, they will send you a new one for $7.50. Just contact them. If there is anything defective in any of their products they definitely stand behind them.

I love my Olfa cutters, have them in 4 sizes plus a pinking blade one. I use the 45 mm size most often. The 60 is good for thicker, heavier fabrics... Wools/ flannels. The small sizes are good for using with templates, tight spaces, curves, circles. I have a couple Fiskar cutters which are fine too I just tend to grab my Olfa first.
