Review on 🔵 Dahle Vantage 10690 Self-Healing Cutting Mat, 9x12 inches, 1/2 inch Grid, 5 Layers Maximizing Healing Ability, Ideal for Craft Projects & Sewing, Blue by Kelly Caballes

Nice that CM is included on opposite edges. The part I don't really like is that this one lags a bit compared to Alvin's brand. This brand is only self-healing on one side, unlike Alvin which is double-sided and colored. When I checked for a very light scratch on each side with an X-Acto knife, the scaly side healed well, but a light scratch appeared on the back afterward. It was definitely not made from the same method or materials. If you plan to ever only use one site and definitely need metrics, this brand is a bit cheaper, otherwise I would recommend Alvins in the long term (just in case you want to change the environment from green to black). PS, upon unboxing it has a slight smell if you sniff it (within 3 inches of the surface).
