About three years ago I bought an ergonomic seam ripper than I love. Because it's made differently than other rippers, I was able to sharpen the blade this am on my knife steel, and it worked great. I am so excited that I don't have to buy a new seam ripper because mine was dull.

:thumbup:

What a terrific idea, never thought of sharpening my seam ripper.

Interesting. Can you tell which seam ripper you bought?
I've heard they can also be sharpened a bit with 0000 sand paper and rubbing it in one direction on one side then the other

I have one that's really dull. I'll have to try this. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! What a relief! I thought I was going to read a cautionary tale of an injury. Great idea and I'm glad it's working well again.

I get attached to my seam rippers too. I hate having to buy new ones. Thanks for this great idea!

Actually it's a curved blade seam ripper. I found this information out as I was searching for the kind I own

And I have loved it since the day I bought it.

This is good to know, thank you :D:D:D

This is great information. I am going to have to try and sharpen mine.
