Olfa 45 mm Rotary Blade Refills, Pack of 10

This is why I believe this is a fake item:1. The printing on the front of the pkg is just a bit off, not as sharp as you would expect from a well-known company. And the package itself feels cheap, not what you’d expect on a “deluxe” craft/hardware item.2. The package says “Made in Japan” yet there is not a single word of Japanese anywhere else on the package.3. The package states “THE ORIGINATOR SINCE 1956.” I can only assume they were looking for the word “original”?4. The knife itself is COMPLETELY DULL. It would not cut through a tissue. I kept checking to see if there was some kind of seal on top of the blade that I needed to peel off but there isn’t. It really is just that dull. Completely and utterly useless. Hugely disappointing as I really needed it for a project I wanted to start today.I’ve already packed it up to return for a refund.

I originally purchased the larger variant of this cutter and found that I needed a slightly smaller blade for more smaller details that the larger blade was a little too large for. I purchased this rotary cutter for use with paper stencils and fabrics and it has been a great piece of kit.The blades are nice and strong so don't flex when applying pressure to them and therefore dont stray off line when cutting. The blade turns freely with a small amount of friction which is nice as it prevents accidental slips. The retractable blade guard is simple yet effective, you slide it back to use the blade and push it forward to cover the blade edges from being exposed. There are "grip strips" on either edge of the handle near the blade to rest your finger or thumb on when cutting giving you more control of the cutter and how much pressure you apply. The blades are very simple to change and not expensive either.A very good cutter and excellent value for money.

I used this product to cut roller blinds after I had new windows installed. This made the job so quick and easy lovely clean straight cut when using a rule alongside. I had to trim the bottom bar and material with a Stanley. It just frayed the material in a small section which I sorted with PVA. Cannot imagine cutting them with a Stanley or scissors. Can’t recommend enough, glad I got the bigger blade aswell as it gave me depth when running against the metre rule.

I've really taken to cutting out fabric with mats and cutters. I used to cut out on the floor but using a lot of silk and jersey these days (and with 2 chihuahuas taking over) that's not possible any more. Cutting out on my foldable tables (doubled up) has made it so much easier with a better result on the fabric and also my back. I bought Olfa blades and mats as these are the ones everyone seems to recommend and I havent been disappointed. I am not throwing away the old blades as I'll be able to cut out paper for wrapping Christmas presents - I find scissors leave a very jagged edge.

I bought this to complement an Olfa 45mm rotary cutter, and it's perfect for intricate curves or sharp angles. Very easy to control, and can be used left or right handed. Replacement blades are readily available.

Very good value. Arrived quickly and are nicely packaged in a handy little storage container. My fingers can attest to the fact that they are very sharp after a careless slip! Awesome quality, they seem to be comparable to genuine Olfa blades, my blades only ever last just over a week due to the amount of cutting I do, and I haven't noticed that they last any less time than genuine blades, so I will definitely be buying again

Ordered these little babies ready to continue with my patchwork. Delivered within time scale, well wrapped and as stated on the website. The price was very good, and in a case to protect them and you!! So no need to panic again as you'd always have another blade to hand. We all know how annoying it is when a blade gets just the tiniest nick in it and whilst cutting you get those annoying little threads not quite cut through. Hopefully these should keep me going for a while but I would use this seller again.

These are great blades. well worth the price and much cheaper than purchasing them individually.Another reviewer said that the word olfa was not on her blades.I bought mine from Nahmaschinen Philip on Amazon and the bladeshave the word olfa on them. Hope this helps!
