Very Quick
"It feels a bit cheap and the blade is overly sharp, but if you're careful and operate it safely (please don't involve children; that would end badly), it should serve you well.""* It's always somewhere in costuming season, when I'm trying to cut craft paper or make quick business cards, when I just get so frustrated trying to use scissors to cut in a straight line."
"I was worried that the blade would dull after use however it hasn't dulled in the least even though I've used this for several months."
"While it cuts thick paper well it s horrible with thinner paper especially with thinner cuts."
"I really love the measured grid so I know exactly what size I am cutting."
"* works well, and priced fairly."

Quick
"Most of my experience with paper cutters before this was an old swing arm with a skin-safe (read: fairly dull, but functional) blade that my family owns... I haven't needed to use them yet, because I made custom printouts with cut lines so I could have dot grid paper in B5 size for my binders... It feels a bit cheap and the blade is overly sharp, but if you're careful and operate it safely (please don't involve children; that would end badly), it should serve you well.""* It's always somewhere in costuming season, when I'm trying to cut craft paper or make quick business cards, when I just get so frustrated trying to use scissors to cut in a straight line... It is super light weight, so easy to move from one room to another. When I was using it, every time I brought the blade down, I cried "Paper Guillotine!"
"I was worried that the blade would dull after use however it hasn't dulled in the least even though I've used this for several months. If you are currently cutting stacks of papers all seperately then this will be a huge time saver and if your line me a life savor... I did research several before my purchase and I'm confident in my decision that this was the best one for the size I needed."
"While it cuts thick paper well it s horrible with thinner paper especially with thinner cuts... I never leave reviews, but I felt I had to this time. It was a horrible waste of money."

"Most of my experience with paper cutters before this was an old swing arm with a skin-safe (read: fairly dull, but functional) blade that my family owns... I haven't needed to use them yet, because I made custom printouts with cut lines so I could have dot grid paper in B5 size for my binders. I'll definitely have some use for them in future, though, and it's nice to have measuring markers in two places, not just at the top... Some improvement here, and I'd be a little less concerned about having a blade as sharp as this one is on this cutter... I wasn't applying much pressure at all, just trying to get my thumb out from under the blade... So pay close attention and use in a sturdy place where you can focus on making cuts and not on keeping your fingers safe... It feels a bit cheap and the blade is overly sharp, but if you're careful and operate it safely (please don't involve children; that would end badly), it should serve you well.""This is perfect if you are cutting several things at once. The blade is super sharp which includes a lock so not to cut yourself... I was worried that the blade would dull after use however it hasn't dulled in the least even though I've used this for several months. If you are currently cutting stacks of papers all seperately then this will be a huge time saver and if your line me a life savor. I can't say enough how much I recommend this cutter. I did research several before my purchase and I'm confident in my decision that this was the best one for the size I needed... This cutter could be extremely useful with crafts, school projects or just about anything."
