Thanks for all your comments. Your saving me money that can be better spent.
I found a source on Ebay a couple of years ago for the seam rippers that come with sewing machines and bought a bunch of them. Check out ebay's listing under crafts/sewing you could maybe still get them. As I recall, I think they came in bags of 25 for $10 or $15. They were being sold by someone from Japan or China, I can't remember which, and they looked just like the ones that came with both my sewing machines and they were every bit as sharp.
