I haven't used a seam ripper in years, not that I don't need to rip but ever since I discovered this little snips, that what I use. Here is where I get mine at: http://www.mygoodscissors.com/ThreadNippers.htm. They have great customer services and prices, WaWak also has them but I haven't ordered from them, YET. LOL

I use a scalpel with a curved blade. It's really fast.

Me too works great.

I like the green Dritz ergonomic one in the large size--my hand doesn't cramp when using it.

I use the Fons & Porter larger grip ones (ergonomic) as I have arthritis and cannot easily use the tiny ones.

Clover, white handled. Wish it had a plastic doo-hickey on the top.

I've had the same no brand seam ripper for 40 yrs. when it gets dull I use my little curved file to sharpen it.
Also use a surgical scalpel when there's a lot of rippin to do. when it gets dull I get the whetstone out and sharpen it.

I was in the middle of a project and had to run to the local King Soopers to grab a seam ripper. It has a long pointed handle that I can use to rip and to turn corners with. It is definitely a "two in one" tool. I make a lot of small projects now for craft fairs and am always needing to rip and turn corners. It was cheap and easy to use.

My favorite seam ripper is a size 24 tapestry needle.
