After several months of getting to know the FlashCut 222 I realized that I wanted a hand-held vibrating knife.
I started looking are the net for what was out there and came across the Wonder Cutter.
I was thinking more of an engraver with a knife attached and I still
think that would be effective, however, there are several Ultrasonic
knifes available, most with hefty price tags.
The Wonder Cutter is not cheap but for leather working I really wanted to
advance the cutting performance of my standard clicking knife.
It takes some getting used to, although it reduces the effort required to
through your materials, it requires a completely different feel than
does your Xacto. Its more difficult to feel when you are through the
material, you have to practice with it, I do not have enough time on it yet.

So the difficulty in cutting came primarily from the cutting mat. The mat too is easily melted and as such it does not provide a useful resistance to the effort of dragging the knife thru the material.
In other words you can't tell exactly what you are cutting; the leather or the mat.
I discovered that a 1/4" CORK mat makes all the difference. I doesn't melt and doesn't drag on the knife I think this is the better cutting mat fo the Wonder Cutter.
