Replacement blades keep a rotary cutter sharp — a blunt blade drags at the fabric instead of parting it. The pack holds 1 Klinge.
A clean cut decides the seam: what is cut crooked can never be sewn straight afterwards. Cutting on a base is cleaner: a mat takes the blade and spares the table at the same time. A sharp blade needs less force and runs more calmly, which spares wrist and material alike. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly. Prym has made sewing notions in Stolberg for generations.

Frequently asked questions
How do I keep the edge sharp?
Use it for one material only and store it dry. Cutting paper or tape with it shows after just a few metres of fabric and calls for resharpening.
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.
Is there anything for left-handers?
Yes, Prym offers shears with reversed blades and rotary cutters that set up for either hand. The pack states which applies. If unsure, try the tool in your hand before buying.
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.
