REALLY NICE *POSTED UPDATE
It is solid but real light weight. I had another that I bought on Amazon (a brand name) and it was taring my cardstock. Not this one. It cut it perfectly
UPDATE 7/3/22: I wanted to update this review because I think this is important for cardmakers....
I HATE ONE BIG THING ABOUT THIS CUTTER
That it only goes to 4 3/4 at the top ruler. I didn't care that it wasn't a 12" long one cause most of my 12x12 paper is cut in half on a guillotine cutter I have. But when you are cutting 8.5x11 and you need a card to be 4.25x5.5 not gonna happen on this cutter unless you guess how far it hangs off the cutter. For this, which is a biggie to me... I don't like this cutter. But, I do use it to trim. It is still a clean, sharp, nice cutter.
For the measurement issue, I am removing one star.
