I have used mine a lot as I am sure others have.
For something good, like a block that needs to be disassembled, I just take my time and do the ripping stitch by stitch. Not worth ruiining something nice.
I used to love the Fons and Porter rippers. They are very fine pointed and as a result, not terribly strong. I broke too many of them and quit buying them.
They are bound to get dull. But what are you going to do? No way to sharpen that I know of.
