I've been a seamstress for 40 years, and now I'm a quilter. This is absolutely the best seam ripper I have ever used. Hopefully I've uploaded a photo to show you. They say you only need the original blade, because it never gets dull. I'm still ripping away on my original blade (two years now) and it's still plenty sharp. But if you get the chance to buy one with an extra blade, do it. I now have a refill, but it was hard to find.
I got one of those because I had purchased a cheap, plastic version of it at a quilt show and loved it. But the Gingher I purchsed didn't have the sharp point to get under the stitches like the cheap one did. Even though I had a 50% off coupon it was still $12, much too much to keep something I didn't like, so I returned it. The only Gingher product I have not been please with.
