🔪 High-Quality 45mm OLFA Ergonomic Rotary Cutter & 45mm Rotary Blade Refill, 1-Pack Value Set - Manufactured in Japan with Unmatched Sharpness Review

I was happy to get this for my sewing projects but very disappointed that all the instructions are in Japanese. I know it's pretty easy to use, but I still like to read the instructions fully before using it, especially since I need to convert it to left-handed use.

German knives (F Dick 1905 series) are better and superior to the Japanese ones. Try it and you won't be disappointed. Overall I highly recommend all Olfa products if they are made in Japan.

The pre-installed cutting disc tends to deviate from the ruler and cut crooked/wavy lines. (Though my technique might be to blame.) It also took a lot of pressure on the blade to cut the photo paper I was trying to cut (the paper is heavy - 68 pounds of paper). I haven't tried the extra blade that came with the kit. On the plus side, the safety mechanism for retracting the blade when not in use works very well and is a nice feature. So I bought a standard X-Acto straight blade knife. and there…
