Just received item and started using it today. The blade is REALLY sharp and is nice and tight so that it cuts clean. Used on several post cards as well and had no issues. Great buy

This cutter is fantastic. It cuts precise cuts, and when you get used to the guide, very straight lines. I love the safety latch also. It's light weight, but very sturdy.

This is not the heavy duty cutter you had in school or at your office. And if you plan to use it a lot, or for multiple sheets at one time, don't buy this one because you will be disappointed. But for my purposes, it works great. This is a VERY lightweight product. It is made of lightweight plastic with a thin metal blade. I was stunned by just how light it is. But that makes it easy to move around and use anywhere.I use this cutter at home to trim cardstock and decorative scrapbook papers for making handmade greeting cards. The size of it will take one of the large 12 x 12 scrapbook sheets but nothing bigger than that. The description says that this will cut 10 sheets of paper at once but that would be a real stretch I think. I wouldn't try to cut more than 4 or 5 layers of paper at one time and I am most comfortable with no more than three sheets of paper. More often, I am cutting just one sheet at a time and I am happy with the results. It's not going to cut cardboard, vinyI or anything of the kind. I find that it will cut two sheets of heavy card stock at a time. I have cut three but that is more difficult and I have decided its just better not to cut more than two. The cutter does a nice job cutting single sheets of scrapbook paper but does not cut really thin paper. Anything like a tissue paper or piece of gift wrap will be folded under rather than being cut. Notebook paper and heavier cut beautifully. Thinner paper like notebook sheets actually cut better when you cut more than one sheet at a time. It cuts single sheets of photo paper nicely also.The cutter makes nice, straight, clean cuts. I love the guides and measurements which make it a breeze to get a square cut to the proper size.I suspect that with heavier usage the blade might dull pretty quickly, But for my at home, light use this has turned out to be an excellent low priced product.
