Dahle Vantage 10694 Premium Self-Healing Cutting Mat, 36"x48", 1/2" Grid, 5 Layers for Max Healing, Perfect for Crafts & Sewing, Blue

I've been cutting on this cutting board for about a month now and it is performing exactly as I thought it would, cuts in the surface are self-healing. Large size lets me cover my entire work surface which comes in handy for large objects. Objects sit evenly on this large surface as well. Worth the extra price for the larger size.

Used it over a year with heavy use for Pouch cutting with sharp blade. The lines are still visible. And it definitely self heals and it almost has no marks even after such daily use.

I love this mat!I’ve had it for 4 years now and it still looks brand new. It’s great on my blades as well.

Great cutting mat. Well worth the money. Lays flat and stays flat. Grid lines are accurate.

Good quality cutting mat. I was very pleased that it was shipped flat and arrived ready to use. Absorbs cut from an X-Acto blade easily. I have been looking for a cutting mat which did not have a grid pattern on one side since I use it as a desk cover for hobbies and find that the grid is distracting. Highly recommended.

This is without question the best cutting mat I have ever used. I mostly specialize in leatherwork, but also sewing and other crafts.I build a massive butcher block work bench, and I wanted a thick self-healing mat that was transparent enough to show the grain of the bench. This fit the bill PERFECTLY. It's nice and thick, never have to worry about cutting through, even with the extremely sharp blades I use.HOWEVER.. there is one catch. The inch marks on the left edge and bottom edge are the only marked sides, as the mat offers metric scales if you were to rotate 180-degrees. This is a nice feature, but ultimately makes the mat much less functional for either scale, as the metric scale is also not featured on the opposite edges, accordingly.If the inch lines were bolder, and the half-inch lines were thinner (or a different color/shade), this would not be as big of an issue.. but when I have an entire side of leather laid out, and am trying to square up a cut, I have to count the half-mark lines from one edge to ensure my straight-edge is lined up. If the inch markers were along the top and right sides, this would without be a 6-star rating! The mat is phenomenally well-made, but this little omission of a continuous scale along all edges knocks off a star, instead.That being said, the mat was shipped flat and I have had no issues with warping even in my garage in the warm Virginia summers. I stuck the top corners down using carpet corners, and it hasn't budged since.In conclusion - you will not be disappointed with this mat! It is thick, reliable, and durable. Just keep in mind that the scale is not mirrored on the opposite side, so you may find that to make some projects more difficult. I am planning to maybe write the missing markers in sharpie on the bottom of the mat, so I can maximize the potential. Hopefully they remedy this in the future, because this mat is otherworldly apart from that!

I do a lot of miniature crafting, which involves a lot of cutting with exacto knives. I absolutely obliterated my previous craft mat, but this one can really take a beating. It sits firmly on the tabletop, is thick and flexible, and can take cuts smoothly. It's not easy to store, but I just leave it on my crafting table.

This cutting mat is a game-changer! It's super sturdy and the self-healing feature is amazing - no more worrying about those ugly knife marks. I love that it's clear, so I can see exactly what I'm cutting. The gridlines are super helpful for accurate measurements too. Definitely worth the investment for any crafter!
