5.0 out of 5 stars Great fabric cutter
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023
When engaging in fabric-related projects, the tool of choice plays a crucial role in achieving precise and clean cuts.
This cutter has a pleasing shape that fits perfectly in the hand. This is important because a comfortable and well-designed cutter makes it easier to handle during prolonged cutting sessions.
The sharpness of the cutter is great because it cuts through fabric smoothly with medium pressure. The sharpness of the blade is pivotal in ensuring that the fabric is cut cleanly and accurately, minimizing fraying and jagged edges.
This cutter not only maintains its sharpness but also has the strength and precision to handle multiple layers of fabric simultaneously, saving time and effort.
The overall conclusion that this is a "quality rotary cutter". It is a reliable and durable choice for those working with fabric, meeting the expectations of users who prioritize precision, comfort, and efficiency in their cutting tools.

Fiskars has a reputation of making superlative cutting products of all sorts, and this is certainly no exception. I have a Fiskars lawn mower, a Fiskars hatchet, and several pair of Fiskars scissors, so when I needed a rotary cutter, of course I chose a Fiskars.

While these are designed for cutting cloth, I use mine for something slightly different- cutting rubber bands for slingshots! Latex rubber and things like Therabands are very difficult to cut smoothly and accurately with most cutting instruments. The rubber twists, stretches, and refuses to cut. But with a metal straightedge and this cutter, it's trivially easy (see photo).

One feature that particularly appealed to be about this cutter was the easy to use self-storing blade- something that's important if you tend to be one of those people (like me) who always manages to find the sharpest part of a tool to grab. Push the lever on the back of the cutter, and the blade pops into position for cutting. Finish your cut and push the button on the side, and the blade immediately retracts inside. It's all one handed, which means the blade never has to be exposed unless you're actually cutting. A great little tool for cutting fabric, photographs, or even rubber slingshot bands ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp - Works great!
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2024
As a beginner to sewing, I was a bit intimidated by this blade; I knew it was extremely sharp.

With a thick ruler and cutting board/mat, hemming my father's pants was a breeze. This cutter made shortening a breeze. I can not cut a straight line even when following the line, so this cutter is invaluable when cutting straight lines.

Great purchase so far.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly decent rotary cutter
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2016
As with all things I buy on amazon, I did plenty of reading and comparing before buying. In the end, I justified the purchase based on the overwhelming positive reviews and the name. I have been buying Fiskars scissors for as long as I can remember and they never let me down. So, although I had read that the cutter itself is good, the blades not so much, I decided I would try it and if need be I could purchase different blades. And it seems that is what I will be doing. For now, it works fine. It cuts what I need to cut , but sometimes it takes a few tries to get the job done. I am using it mainly for cutting fabric. I am sure cutting paper would go over perfectly, but that is not what I bought it to do. Even on single layers it doesn't make complete cuts all the time I'd say maybe about 70%. I use even pressure and sometimes more pressure than necessary. I had read that the olfa blades are much better, so I will try those out on my cutter, which is great by the way. It feels good in my hand and even though I had thought I would accidently hit the blade retract button with my thumb while cutting, it hasn't happened yet, but it is in the perfect place to get the blade out of the way the moment I finish a cut making it very safe (and when you have rambunctious kids and curious cats, that is always important)
So, cons: the blade is not up to par. If I were to review them separately it would have 2 stars.
Pros: the cutter itself is ergonomic, is very well thought out, very easy to use, and I feel that my kids and cats are safe around it when used properly. If I were to rate it separately it would have 5 stars because really it exceeded my expectations.
I give it 4 stars overall because the one thing I don't like about it is the one thing that can be and should be changed eventually.
In the picture it is hard to see, but there is an indentation after the cut where it kept going, but didn't cut through the fabric.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slices thick cotton pants like pizza
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2024
Item did as described and I was able to render my thick cotton pants into 2x2" squares in a short matter of time. The only thing to keep in mind is that the blade is very sharp so retract it the moment you stop using it. I attempted to adjust the cloth and accidentally touched the blade with my free hand. The cut was so clean that I didn't feel it right away.

Also, make sure whatever you are cutting on is receptive to accepting the blade without damaging it or making it dull .

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2023
I have used this style rotary cutter for many years. However, I've had to replace them often as they break. I guess it has to do with the locking mechanism since that is where they break. This one still locks and it still is kind of forceful when you release the blade back into the lock position. However, this one feels like a better quality of plastics. I sure hope so since it fits my hand so much better than other brands and styles.
