It is a Fiskars 45mm Contour Rotary Cutter. $10 at Amazon or Walmart. I use it on a X-acto selfhealing mat. You have to make sure you get the right one that does not have ink that rubs off easily. A labmate ordered a replacement that smudged all over some plates. Here is the exact model I have: X7761 12x18in

Well in all fairness, self healing cutting mats have been available for a good while, though I've only heard ones purposed for cutting paper / hobbyist purposes. Googling "self healing cutting mat" gives this amazon hit of a such product, for example.

And for the record, I am not recommending these for cooking use, I have no idea of their toxicity, I've just seen these around in offices I've worked in for at least a decade or so.

I have one that looks similar that is a self healing board. It's basically a rubber mat that you can use to line things up, cut things on etc. If you cut something on top of the board and leave a cut in the rubber, it will smooth itself out after a couple hours.
