I do have two stitch rippers that are flat sided ... and two that are rounded.
3 for sure are Clover. Forget about the 4th.
Guess what?
............ the rounded ones are more comfortable when I am working with them and are my preferred choices!
They are all fairly sharp and fine, so equal as far as their stitch ripping ability.

(compared to some that the the point is coarse and dull ... those I don't even try to keep and send them straight to the garbage as I know they will only be a continual annoyance.)
