About this item

  • Made in the USA or Imported
  • RAZOR SHARP 45MM ROTARY BLADE - The RTY-2/DX is pre-loaded with an RB45-1H Endurance Rotary Blade. The ultra-sharp rolling razor blade delivers unparalleled sharpness and superior edge retention for twice the life of a standard rotary blade.
  • SQUEEZE TRIGGER HANDLE - Easy squeeze handle exposes the blade and self-retracts for safety. The curved handle with anti-slip rubber grip reduces hand fatigue and stress. The integrated grooves help prevent finger slippage.
  • QUICK & EASY BLADE REPLACEMENT - OLFA's 45mm Rotary Cutter has a blade system that provides simple and safe blade changes. The dual-action safety lock allows the blade to be locked while open or closed.
  • INTRICATE & ACCURATE CUTTING - Provides detailed and precise cutting of a variety of materials including cotton, wool, paper, vinyl, leather, and more. Also fits our Pinking Blade (PIB45-1), Scallop/Peak Blade (SCB45-1), and Wave Blade (WAB45-1).
  • THE OLFA STANDARD - As the inventor of the Rotary Cutter in 1979, OLFA has maintained a standard of cutting excellence for our quality and durability. Pairing OLFA brand rotary cutter, blades and cutting mats together will provide optimal results.

Why Didn't I Buy This Sooner
5 Stars
Why Didn't I Buy This Sooner
► Why I like it:I looked for several key points when deciding which rotary cutter to buy. Since these blades are so super sharp, safety had to be a high priority. I wanted one whose blade fully retracted and provided protection for the blade edge all around when retracted. I also wanted one with anti-slip grips and protection for my pressing index finger in case I accidentally slipped. I sure don't want to run my finger over the top of the blade while bearing down! What an OUCH that would be!I also wanted the blade to extend and retract via squeezing and releasing of the handle so I did not have to use the lock. This would be safest as then I would not forget to release the lock before putting it down as suggested by the manufacturers. But by the same token, I wanted to still have a lock in case I was doing funny shaped turns and cuts. Without a lock, I would not be able to get in the corners and still have the blade extended nearly as easily. Since any lock would put my finger or thumb near to harms way, it needed to also offer protection to keep my finger or thumb from sliding into the blade.Having a soft grip handle to prevent fatigue was important, too. Plus, as we age, some of us start to develop arthritis in our hands. I'm not there yet, but if I reach that point, I will not have to replace my cutter with one that is more arthritis friendly if I think and plan for it now.I like being able to hang things. It makes it super easy to find vs storing in a drawer, keeps things neat and as with this, adds another degree of safety versus reaching around in a drawer sight unseen. This model comes with a nice hook for hanging.Finally, I wanted a good brand name for warranty, blade replacement and durability. I did not want to invest in a name I did not know and regret it later on. I would rather spend a bit more now and not have to replace it later on and waste that money.I didn't want a lot, did I. After all my research, I finally decided on this one and have been very happy with my decision. I just don't know why it took me so long to buy one of these in the first place.► Dimensions:2 ½” max with blade retracted x 6 ½” length► Pros:Does fantastic straight and clean cuts. Super easy and even fun to use. Makes cutting fabric quick, accurate and easy. Forget scissors. Pair this with a cutting mat and a long straight edge ruler, and you are good to go and go fast.► Cons:None.► Suggestions for Improvement:None.► Would I buy again?Yes.► Purchasing Decision & Questions:I hope I have helped your purchasing decision of this Olfa Rotary Cutter. I am not affiliated with the manufacturer, seller or any other product related company nor am I under any obligation to write this review. I do this for my own fun and pleasure! Feel free to comment and let me know if I have helped you. If you should have any questions, please post them below in the Comments. I try to answer all inquires in a timely fashion to the best of my ability. Lastly, Follow me on Amazon if you wish to be notified as I post new reviews. I promise they will always be meaningful and never of penny ante junk.
