Gingher makes a similar type seam ripper and I bought it, but the blades aren't sharp at all. It doesn't work well. Don't waste you money on it IMO.
Ok ladies, if you are squeamish don't read any further........... All right I warned you, this handy dandy seam ripper (and it is handy and dandy and does a wonderful job!) is actually a blade and handle used by farmers and vets to castrate baby pigs and other small animals. I used one for years working in the farrowing house. So if you want to save mega $$ and have access to a store that caters to the farm community. Go there to purchase your seam ripper and replacement blades. Of course you miss out on the fancy packaging. Hope I was able to save you some $$ without grossing you out. Handle carefully they are, of necessity extremely sharp.
