This is my favorite also & it came with several different blades. It's not too dainty nor too fat to hold onto. I believe mine was a Sullivan's brand but I could be mistaken and I don't see anything like it on their website. I bought several at a Hancock's Fabric store that was being shut down. I had previously used a smaller version that I got at Shirley's Sewing Stuff but it disappeared:

Even though Shirley's is smaller than the one I use now, it was easier to hold onto than the little round traditional type seam rippers. Believe it or not, I have injured myself and my fabric much more often with the traditional pointy style than I ever have with the razor blade/scalpel style.
