Pinking shears
#8
I use mine when I piece my backings. I trim the seam with pinking shears so it doesn't ravel. I also use the pinking shears with flannel for the same reason.
I have one of those rotary cutter blades that does the pinking, but I like the cut I get better with the shears.

Yes, they do still sell them...though I think they are used more by garment sewers instead of quilters. I use mine occasionally...have a sewing pair and a crafting pair for paper. I also have a gadget called the Florian Pinker that was my mother-in-law's that does the same thing but with a rolling gear and blade...they still work great and are fun to use.
