I used to love the Fons and Porter rippers. They are very fine pointed and as a result, not terribly strong. I broke too many of them and quit buying them.
They are bound to get dull. But what are you going to do? No way to sharpen that I know of.

This is called skinning a quilt. There is a great video on You-tube showing you how to do this.
I just ripped out a whole row of quilting on a king size quilt within hours. So easy. I just happened to have the same tool that she uses and I love it. Try it, you might like it.
