I have three rotary cutters, two 45s and one of the smaller ones, they
are all made by Olfa. My favorite is the 45 with a squeeze handle that
exposes the blade, it can be night or left handed, it has a safety
lock so that it cannot be accidentally opened. I love the curved
handle, one of my Friday bunch buddies used it and promptly went out
and purchased one for herself. She has now purchased a second, one for
upstairs, the other for downstairs. I use the small, straight handled,
one for doing the frog stitch, much safer than the double edged razor
blade that my mother used to use, and easier than the regular seam
ripper. Of course, I rarely have to seam rip, NOT....
