I hate it. First of all you have to have the matching rotary cutter. It doesn't work with any other kind of cutter. Second, the matching rotary cutter is the WORST!!! I thought maybe the blade that was in it was bad. It was. Not only was it dull, it had huge nicks in it. So I bought new blades. Same thing with the new ones. Thought I'd try it with the matching ruler, IMPOSSIBLE to cut with. I took the ruler, the cutter, and all the blades back. Pure junk.

I have the ruler but don't use the sharpening edge. I like it because it is longer than other rulers and good for triming edges of my crib quilts. I always turn it to the smooth side. It may be too expensive for this kind of use but I find it useful. Definitely not for shaprning the blade.

When these first came out one shop on our shop hop was demoing it. They just used an Olfa cutter. I do know it takes practice to get use to it. I did not bite on that 'sale' and then I started using Harbor Freight carpet blades and that cut way down on cost of blades...
