I always keep a few of these in, besides my Clover seam ripper. I was given this tip a few years back, if you have seam to rip out use the sharp thread snips to cut every 4th stitch on the side, pull and it's done. If it's just a couple of stitches I use my Clover.
BTW the thread snips are made of "Blue steel" which can rust, they use this as they open and close they self sharpen. To keep the rust at bay put a drop of sewing oil on a tissue and wipe the blades with it, carefully as they are sharp, if they are not dispose them, safely.
How do I know this? I am a retired Chef and I always used Blue steel knives as they are the sharpest IMO!
