I have that one! It's wonderful, though you do need to be very careful with it, and it's especially good for taking out machine embroidery that's gone wrong.
I was hoping the Gingher would be the same (as the blades are similar) but with a more comfortable handle. Unfortunately it's not as sharp at the tip where I use it most. It is great for running along the inside of a seam though, as I do when taking out paper piecing mistakes.
