Has anyone bought the new sharpener for the blades in their cutter.
Are they good. Will be going to the Birmingham Quilt show uk next
week. Hoping to get one there.

I have one for my 45mm rotary blades and while I was still using it as
my primary cutter, the sharpener did come in handy a few times.
I did find however that the sharpeners don't put new life into a blade
like you would hope and they certainly don't make the blades lifespan
indefinite.
Basically it'll get you by until the store opens or you feel like
going out to get a new one but it isn't gonna give you a new blade by
any means.

I use a 60mm cutter now and only buy good Olfa blades, not the knock
offs and my goodness is there ever a difference.
I still have not changed out the first blade and I bought the thing
over a year ago and I have done a TON of cutting with it, it just
won't give up!

Will check them out at the Birmingham Show - must get one now. Always
there in an emergency. By the way mine is a Fiskars. Vernie

I have a Fiskars cutter, too, Vernie.
The Olfa blades are still the best. Don't know if Fiskars do blades?

Hi Pat - Fiskars do have their own brand of blades. More makers now
have the easy change cutters which means that their blade head is only
applicable to their brand of handle =3D more money for them. jennellh
