Its surface closes up again after each cut, which is why it lasts a long time. It measures Ø 35 cm. Sold as a single item. The material is plastic.
A clean cut decides the seam: what is cut crooked can never be sewn straight afterwards. Fabric shears stay fabric shears: paper and tape blunt the edge faster than sharpening can restore it. Cutting on a base is cleaner: a mat takes the blade and spares the table at the same time. Prym has made sewing notions in Stolberg for generations. The pack states the size, so buying more later stays easy.

Frequently asked questions
How do I cut straight?
With a ruler and a firm surface rather than freehand. The fabric lies flat and without tension; even a slight ripple under the blade pulls the cut askew.
When should a blade be changed?
As soon as it leaves threads standing or asks for more pressure than before. A blunt blade drags at the fabric instead of parting it, and the cut edge shows it.
How do I make it safe?
Store it closed or locked and out of reach of children. On a rotary cutter the guard goes back after every cut, not at the end of the day.
How do I look after it?
Wipe dry, never rinse, and keep the joint moving with a drop of fine oil now and then. Moisture is the only real enemy of a cutting edge.
