I think mine is a Clover seam ripper with a brown handle and clear top. Love it! I used to work in a sweatshop where we took mens' shirt cuffs apart and shortened the sleeve length. This would take less than two minutes each (including reattaching) since we used the presser foot of the machine to hold the cuff taut and slip the seam ripper into the seam and rip the old stitches out towards you. This took practice (and nerve) but it sure worked. I realize that not all seam ripping could be done with this method. I can't remember what type of a seam ripper we used.
