I have never had problems with them getting dull and have my original one. I have several others that were given to me as give- aways at various shows, shops, etc. But, I do have a favorite one.

I've tried the cheap ones and the expensive ones. Too many mistakes you say....probably right!! But there has to be a solution to sharpening these darn things....emery boards just don't work!!
I don't think I've gotten rid of a seam ripper because of dulling but do have many as I like them handy.

Last seam ripper I bought was from Quilt in a Day...in fact I bought two...magnifies and has light in it so I can see and rip with one seeing eye....it works wonderful. I gave all my old ones to dh who loves to sew his kilts. Problems solved.
