I love the Seam Fix! It's the sharpest one I have used.

I love my Gingher seam ripper. It has a curved blade and it's retractable and can be replaced. I also love a single edge razor blade. I know, I know, but years & years ago it was what we used. Or at least what my mom & I used.

Clover! My favorite and I don't like to use any other. That is how much I like it! I must say I hadn't tried F&P seam ripper,but I do like their other products extremely well.

The one that they replaced was a Dritz ergonomic that had a thick tip that made it difficult to get small stitches out, and one day when I was taking buttons off a shirt, the tip just broke off.

Both of the new ones are great! They have fine tips, are very sharp, and they're comfortable for me to use.

The only thing I don't like is that the protective cap on the F & P didn't stay on and the Clover just had a flimsy plastic sheath. I remedied the problem by buying some silicone knitting needle tip cover thingies (somebody online suggested this) and I use those. It works well.

I just gave up my old rippers and got the Clover and my ripping days are wonderful. Agree with every thing said including the plastic sheath that is worthless.
