I did a review on the 45 mm Endurance Blade last year (you can read it here) so when they recently launched a 60 mm version and asked me if I wanted to test it out and host a giveaway, I jumped at the chance! (The Olfa cutter, blade, and mat were provided to me for no charge and the giveaway is sponsored by Olfa but all opinions are 100% mine. Some links in post are affiliate links)
First up, the 60 mm Olfa Endurance blade (pictured on a pink 12" x 18" Olfa mat). I have been hoping that Olfa was going to come out with this size since I tested and was wowed by the 45 mm Endurance blade.
I mostly use my 60 mm rotary cutter to trim up my quilts after quilting. I have found that the larger blade size cuts the corners more precisely for nice square corners. I have been testing the 60 mm Endurance blade for 6 weeks now, cutting quilts (and also a bunch of fabric for new quilt tops because I really wanted to use the blade a lot). The blade is still cutting like a new blade, still nice and sharp. It may cost more than regular blades, but with the sharpness and how long it lasts, I think that it is a really good value.
Next up is the pink Olfa Splash cutter (pictured on an aqua 12" x 18" Olfa mat). My go to cutter is the Olfa Ergonomic cutter, but after working with the Splash cutter, I might be converted. I liked how the safety turned on and off, how easy it was to change a blade, and it felt nice in my hand.
My 11 year old son is getting into quilting and he found the Splash cutter much easy to handle and cut with and use than the Ergonomic cutter. Plus, how could I not love a pink cutter? So cute!
Lastly, Olfa sent me two new cutting mats, one pink and one aqua. You can probably seen these showing up in my Instagram feed, they are such fun colors and photograph so well. They are the same great quality as the traditional darker green mats, I have trimmed over 300 HST on them and they still look like new.
In addition to being great mats, they make perfect backdrops for fabric pictures! Here is a charm pack photographed on the back of the pink mat.
