Ah!! You just reminded me that the one I liked which I lost actually came with my sewing machine! (I'd forgotten that). I'm going to try a Janome brand seam ripper, since they also sell them separately. A bit spendy, but if it's sharp I'll be happy!

That's brilliant! One of the things that I find a problem is how easily the little ones roll around (and off!) my sewing table, so I've been wracking my brains, trying to figure out what I can tape to the ripper that will stop it rolling, but not be uncomfortable in my hand. But the ribbon idea is brilliant, because then it's always easily seen - even if it lands in a trash can full of bits of fabric!

My answer to the face value of this question would be "pepper".
Thanks so much, everyone! Seeing how the Clover rippers have got a lot of positive reviews, I might have to get one of those as well!
