I love mine, I have had it for over 5 years now.

I've had my Martelli for years. Forgot to replace it last year, so will definitely do this year. Somehow it seems like the rotary blades last longer using the Martelli as opposed to the Olfa.

Martelli will be having a 50% off sale on mats/blades/cutters/etc on Dec 26 and 27....worth the wait for 1/2 price!

I agree, in fact I am getting a new 24 X 36 replacement as mine has worn out after 20 years of cutting!!!!!

I love my Olfa 24x36, have had it almost 3 years and have doused it in the bathtub only one time but she still performs wonderfully.

I bought 2 small green mats, 8 X 11 that are made by Omnigrid. They look a lot like the Olfas and they are great. No skipping with cutter and these have been used heavily. Don't remember seeing them in large sizes but I would not hesitate to purchase one.

I AGREE!! I have used Dritz, Olfa, Omnigrid - and by FAR these are better……and well worth the cost.
