Fiskars Ultimate Craft Trimmer
This Fiskars 12” Ultimate Craft Trimmer is a trimmer that is lightweight and cuts straight! Let me tell you, this is a big deal to me! After seeing and testing lots of trimmers that were either too big and heavy to have sitting out on my desk/table or they had problems of cutting straight, I have to admit I am pretty excited to let you in on this! I am like a lot of crafters that end up trying out various trimmers, and this is one I consistently go back to. It is also the oldest trimmer I have.
It’s a trimmer small enough to put in a basket next to my desk so it’s right there easy to quickly grab when I need it. The non-skid feet on the bottom keep the trimmer securely on most surfaces.
There’s a 13 ½ inch measuring surface for full 12 inch cuts with its steady arm in one smooth slice. The rotary blade makes the cut so smooth. Two EZ change Rotary blade Carriages are included. Besides your usual straight edge there is also the carriage for scoring.
The self-leveling ruler swings out and has a paper guide to allow for more precise measuring. It’s easy for a right or a left handed person to align paper for trimming.
The clear fingerprint guard is to help keep fingerprints off papers and pictures while trimming them up. The Fiskars Ultimate Craft Trimmer claims to cut straight, precise cuts of up to five-20 old sheets without tearing, fanning or shifting your paper. And honestly, I have yet to find a piece of paper that it can’t cut smoothly. Cutting smaller pieces of paper/pictures are also simple to cut.
Included with the Ultimate Craft Trimmer are 3 interchangeable face plates. For fine trimming there’s the 1/8 inch guideline. For all of our photos and cards the ½ inch guideline does the trick. And the angle guideline is useful for all of our special shape needs.
This is a great trimmer for the price currently at $31.99. Get your Fiskars 12″ Ultimate Craft Trimmer to help you on your cards, pictures and other craft items today!

@ Robin:
Robin, Yes I love this one! I have replaced the black bar (that you basically cut on) more then I’ve replaced the blade.
I LOVE this cutter.. I’ve been using mine for 6 years.. and I will never use another if they ever stop making it I’m in trouble.. I’ve replaced my blades 2 times in those 6 years and the cutting bar 3 times. Worth every penny!
