Question Paper Cutter/Trimmer

My favorite cutter broke and I am looking for a new cutter. What is your favorite brand of cutter?

I adore my Fisker's paper trimmer... I have three of them because my hubby was always stealing mine to use...

I don't know if I'm the person to be answering this b/c I've only ever had one paper trimmer! However, I love mine but don't have anything to compare it to. This is the one I've got (img is linked):

I have that same orange Fiskar's one and I love it! I got both the cutting blade and a scoring blade and it makes contructing box templates a breeze. I even bought one for my paper scrapping friend as a birthday present - poor girl was using the CM little blue photo cutter.

Look for a coupon because you should be able to get 40% off at M's or J's depending on where you live.

That is the same one I have!!! I've had the CM trimmer, that Juli mentioned... I'm not a fan of the guillotine ones. And the Cuttapede... which I love all the exchangeable blades, but it takes me a long time to get a hang of where I'm cutting on the paper... so I'm always whipping out the Fiskar's...

I have a Tonic Studios guillotine trimmer and I LOVE IT! Although I did recently see a laser guided trimmer that looks awesome but its $75 and Im not willing to pay that much money.

I just got a Purple Cow 2-in-1 trimmer, and I love it! It has both a guillotine trimmer and a sliding blade. It came with a straight blade, a scoring blade, a perforating blade, and 3 decorative blades. I found it at Costco for a great deal.

This guy. I love it. I LOVE the guillotine. I feel it's a much cleaner cut than I ever get with the sliding blade ones (which is what my old original Fiskars was). I pretty much never use the rotary edge on it, unless I'm cutting something tiny and need it to hold the paper in place.

I have a Fiskars cutter similar to the one Jackie posted. I don't think they still sell the exact one I have because I've had it for over 10 years. I LOVE it.

I also have a fiskars one, similar to the ones above. It has both the cutting and scoring blades and I truly love it! It also has a bunch of cutting templates so you can cut angles and stuff with ease!
